Fun Facts
One passion people notice about me is that I love people. Anytime I have a chance I am meeting and chatting with people. I like to hear what others think and have experienced in their lives. I enjoy travel. When I fly on an airplane, I hope to strike up a fun and interesting conversation with a new person. I have visited eleven countries thus far. Each year I try to do something I've never done. This summer I went on a very high (so high) roller coaster with my oldest son.
About Me
I am a wife, mother of four, and grandmother to eleven sweethearts. I enjoy each and every moment I get to spend with them. A teacher at heart, my philanthropic goal is to establish a school in Kenya as part of my life's legacy. My favorite kind of student is the one who is interested in learning. It gives me great satisfaction to help others grow and solve problems.
Experience
As a teacher in Pennsylvania and California I have taught a variety of subjects, ages, and students. I have taught students for more than thirty years, from Kindergarten to college graduates. I have successfully designed my own math program for learning the basic math facts. I have never met a "bad" student. I don't believe I ever will. Working for Frog Tutoring gives me the opportunity to learn and grow myself as well as impacting intricate human beings I call students with solutions.
Approach
As a child I excelled in earning straight A's. That fact alone did not translate into far reaching success for me. I felt cheated from the real education that comes from wise people. The rote learning is necessary but teaching thinking skills and relational solutions is just as vital. I enjoy helping others discover ways that "work well in life." In every subject, grade, and human heart there is a place to deposit wise learning and living.
