I have a Master's in Education and have tutored children in the past both online and in person. I am patient and enjoy helping kids. I am a mother of two children and coach sports. I am looking to supplement my income so that I can continue to be a present parent.
I am a high school student. I get excellent grade and have lots of patience with kids. I struggled a lot as a young kid with school so I know how frustrating it can be to little kids but I am good at making learning fun and getting there attention on topic with out getting bored or frustrated.
