My interest in tutoring stems from two things. As an adult, I returned to college at 41, and graduated with a Master's in Health Education at 48. School is my passion. I was a good student, but even then I needed help to navigate college re-entry, and support to push through to graduation while working full-time. I was always thrilled to receive high grades. It was a huge sense of accomplishment. And as I sit here now, looking at my framed graduation certificates, I consider schooling my greatest achievement.

The second reason, the most important one to me, is that I have taught in the past. Of all of my work experience, teaching was the most rewarding. When students learn to read, understand a concept, or master a new skill, they light up. It opens doors previously closed to them. Each step builds confidence in their ability to survive and thrive in the world. I have been through many challenges in life. Through it all, my education is what enabled me to meet them and move forward. I love sharing my stories with people to show them that the time invested in learning will reward them over and over.

I teach a unique study method to prepare for tests. If followed, it practically guarantees passing. So if you are a student who struggles with testing, you can relax knowing you really have a grasp of the subject. Tests have always been easy for me; I am studying for another one right now. But I know not everyone is lucky in this area. So I feel my system can really benefit test takers or folks returning to college.

I am open most days in the afternoon, even weekends. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your needs and get acquainted. I would love to see you succeed!
