I am a 14-year educator with experience ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade. One of the greatest joys is being in the presence of those "light bulb" moments! Sometimes, students just need an additional encouraging word or a concept broken into smaller chunks in order for the learning to make sense.
I have a M. Science in Education and 18 years teaching experience teaching in public schools, tutoring and homeschooling our six children. Experience working with children with special needs. I can work around your schedule and tutor in your home, my home or the local library.
