Fun Facts
I love theater! I studied theater throughout college and love every aspect of it, from reading plays and acting to directing and scene design. I am from Southern Texas but have lived in Houston for most of my life and I absolutely love to travel. I think the best way to learn about the world is to see it. I'm also a huge history buff so seeing historic places amazes me.
About Me
I am currently working as a Safety Administrator for an oil and gas company while I take a few classes on the side. I'm hoping to go back to school and get my Masters in Education. My overall goal is to be a reading specialist one day.
Experience
I've been tutoring students since 2011 when I went back to school. I've worked with students K through adulthood. I helped many students achieve commended performance on their STAAR test and even helped a few adults get their GEDs.
Approach
From what I've seen with past students, as class sizes have grown, many just aren't getting the attention they need. Every student learns differently, and my goal is always to give my undivided attention and help find a method that works for each students, while also instilling in them a new love of learning. I like making learning a discovery and for each student to enjoy finding the answer in their own way. I also specialize in helping struggling readers to visualize the story.
