At Boston University, I earned a BA in Latin/ French and Education. I then traveled to the University of Michigan where I held a teaching fellowship position in Latin while I worked on my MA in Latin. I no longer have a formal teaching position. I have spent many years teaching Latin, but I also have been able to spend about 9 years working in elementary schools with K-5 reading and writing. I loved doing that and feel very competent to tutor in those areas. Right now, I tutor 6 nights a week. I believe in being kind but firm with students and getting to know them as people besides just as those I tutor. I am a retired teacher of more than 30 years' experience in about 6 different states. I have done tutoring all along the way besides being in classrooms. I especially enjoy seeing beginning Latin students advance to competency and learn about the Romans, etc. while studying their language. I have worked with students from 3rd grade through 12. I taught college Freshmen at the University of Michigan. I was also am licensed as a k-12 librarian because I love reading and the organization of a good library.

I love to read. I sing in my church choir and in One Voice Chorus, a large musical group in the Richmond VA area. I continue to aid those in prison and those outside in any way I can via phone and email. I have done this for many years and have lots of returning citizens as friends. My family has 3 cats: Sugar (brown tabby), Rys ( grey tabby ), and Ember (black Bombay).
