Fun Facts
As an Instructor with Waldorf Education for more than 4 years, I love assisting students towards their fullest potential.
Born in Colorado, I also love spending time outdoors hiking, snowshoeing, and camping. I once took a week long canoe trip down the Colorado river and camped on the shore of beaches!
Some day I hope to swim with wild dolphins and scuba dive in "Sharks Bay" on the Australian coast.
About Me
My masters thesis in Conflict Resolution and Global Studies at Portland State University was on transforming trauma in Sierra Leone, West Africa. I am a President List Honors Student and previously graduated cum laude with honors.
I believe in giving the effort to make a "better world" where compassion and peace is practiced daily. As an Instructor with Waldorf Education, a private arts academy, I am privileged to share methods of learning that inspire students towards a higher state of intelligence and character while being kind.
Experience
I have tutored elementary, high school, and college students with Frog Tutoring for more than 3 years. All students I tutor experience significant growth!
In the 2017-21 school year, I assisted Waldorf student's as Instructor, Mentor and Tutor, helping with needs associated to classroom curriculum in levels K-8. I enjoy creating safe environments for youth to feel vibrant, free, and more encouraged to learn. I value individuality while encouraging each student to nurture their unique gifts.
Approach
The Socratic Method uses open ended questioning to help a student realize an answer rather than just giving it to them. As a Certified Minister and Life Coach, I play a role to help others discover themselves by process of reflection, guidance and instruction. Learning is fun, especially with the right attitude! It's my passion to spark joy and positive thinking in every task. Personally, I will partner with the individual needs and personality of each student I work with to ensure success.

Arts Tutoring
As a student of communications, I heavily invested in the arts. Theatre, playwriting, modern/contemporary dance were some of my passions.
I have performed on stage as:
Demetrius in Shakespeare's: A Midsummer Nights Dream,
Jesus Christ in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, and Fort Collins Colorado Arts Festival, amongst others.
Communication Tutoring
I am passionate about Communications and what it can offer the person whom learns the skills to apply it's knowledge. I'm an Intercultural Communications minor, and as a world traveler I search for common threads that connect humanity instead of focusing on our differences. I have spent the majority of my time understanding inter/intra-personal communication and its expression.
English Tutoring
My favorite english teacher taught me how to eloquently express myself in writing and to do so intelligently. While composing essays or a formal letter it's important to have a clear purpose in mind. This is not always easy, therefore I know some helpful tricks to inspire clarity.
A great essay or piece of literature doesn't always need profligate words to impress its reader, although challenging oneself to expand their vocabulary can be fun, and help you stand out amidst the crowd.
I give attention to detail and I know the importance of investing the quality time that's needed to produce good writing. I hope to assist you in accomplishing your goals!
Religion Tutoring
The majority of time in my life has been spent on spiritual studies and religion. I am a Certified Spiritual Minister from the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California. World religion(s), mythologies and archetypes that inspire the human soul have always fascinated and encouraged me to learn as much as possible. I completed straight A's in all my World Religion, World Mythology, Supernatural Studies and Yoga courses.

Homework Coach Tutoring

I believe each student, regardless of skill-set, carries innate intelligence and my role as a coach is to help them discover and nurture it while building confidence in capability.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
Different factors contribute to reading comprehension such as: willpower, passion, a desire to learn, and understanding how material directly applies to me personally.
As one prepares for university, study habits must support time and stress management, information comprehension and retention. These habits help create success for students.
Science Tutoring
Personally, physics is my passion. Since I was a child I built rockets and blasted them into the sky, I would test the different levels of energy conducted in varied citric fruits and use prisms to bend light. I have volunteered frequently at science fairs and events for children to teach them some of the elementary laws and principles to earth, matter and life.
Social Studies Tutoring
As a Waldorf instructor working with students K-8 I understand how to meet each student where they are and offer positive reflection to understand social settings. Within our society as a result of an increased use of technology, I feel we are beginning to lose touch with face-to-face meaningful communication. I believe this is the bedrock of social studies and can assist a student to better understand the world they live in today by means of positive conversation and reflection.
Astronomy Tutoring
Astronomy was one of my favorite classes in college, so much I balanced Astronomy with Physics while completing my Associates Degree and completed the semester with a 4.0 GPA. I like Astronomy because it really encourages students to think outside the box and begins to introduce to them the vast potential in life.

Science is fascinating! While completing multiple physics courses in college I received A's while seeking out extra credit assignments and experiments just for fun! Further, I volunteered at the school sponsored Youth Physics Fair to teach students the basics.
I also taught "Science Matters" to elementary students once a week at different public schools. Lessons would include fun science experiments that awakened the mind to unseen possibilities and potential.
