Fun Facts
I'm a born teacher. I love to learn. I read voraciously and watch documentaries for fun. I am a positive and motivational person who can make any task fun and manageable.
About Me
I am married to a biologist and have two brilliant daughters, ages one and four. We spend time together hiking and camping. I hope to continue teaching as a albuquerque">tutor until both of my girls are in school at which point I plan on returning to teaching or perhaps I will go back to school and earn my PhD in Education. I would love to be a professor of education one day and train new teachers.
Experience
I have taught people ages K to adult for 15 years. For the past 10 years I have taught middle school. I'm taking a little break from that to focus on my family, but I need to keep teaching in some form to be happy. I have taught English as a Second Language to adults and children, I have taught history, writing, and reading as well. I have tutored students in math up to Intermediate Algebra. I have passed 4 AP tests, including Biology. I have even worked as a professional writer.
Approach
Make it fun! Make it real! Make it connect to the learner. People are born with a natural curiosity. Teachers need to find the pathway that connects with that innate curiosity.
