I thoroughly enjoy teaching and helping kids with schoolwork. The back and forth and the light-bulb moments when students see something they hadn't before is a such a great feeling. I have my degree in Child Development and have worked in classroom settings, one on one and in small groups.
I have a few tutoring slots available February-June. Tuesdays and Thursdays 5-6 p.m. at the Library. Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
