I have a masters in education and teaching experience at the middle and high school level in English and social studies, with particular expertise in public speaking, grammar, writing, history, government, and geography.

I have a total of seven years of experience in the k-12 classroom setting, both as a teacher and as a paraprofessional. As a paraprofessional, I would tutor students individually and in small groups. As a teacher, I would also teach study halls, in which I would tutor students when they needed help.

I offer a tutoring experience designed to meet the individual client's needs. My tutoring sessions will be hands on, client centered experiences. I am excited to put my vast educational experience to use as a tutor.
