Hello, I've known that I would become a teacher since the age of 12. I have been retired for two years after a successful career from a large School District. I continue to tutor because my passion is still teaching and helping students achieve academically. I received my undergraduate degree in Education from Temple University and a Masters of Education in Reading Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. My favorite subjects to teach are reading, math and writing skills. I am able to break down these subjects to their bare elements which allows for student success. In addition, as stated above, my passion to assist young people (or all ages) in gaining understanding is truly what drives me. My philosophy for teaching is to first of all, present a non-threatening environment where the student feels free to make attempts to achieve. I also feel that the student must be made aware of what is expected in their learning, their strengths and weaknesses. I will then give them the tools which will guide them in advancement of the subject matter. Two outside interests are reading and sewing.
