Fun Facts
I come from a very large family! My mom is 1 of 14 kids so I have over 40 first cousins! I love to travel and have been to 49 of the 50 states. I'm originally from the Chicago area and just recently moved to Austin a little over a month ago!
About Me
I am a certified education/texas/austin">special education teacher and reading specialist. I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign for my Bachelor's degree and Olivet Nazarene University for my Master's degree.
Experience
For the past 5 years I have been a education/texas/austin">special education teacher in Illinois. I worked with 12 students with special needs ages K-6 in the areas of reading, math, science, social studies, and writing. While I loved my time teaching, I felt like I wasn't getting enough 1 on 1 time with my students to really teach them the skills they needed. Since moving to Texas, I have started tutoring and nannying!
Approach
My overall goal is to motivate students and make learning fun! I like to find out a student's learning style and cater my teaching to fit their needs.
