Since graduation, I went to work in the computer industry traveling to over 66 countries while teaching computer technology.

9+ Years Tutoring

Having taught in both large and small classrooms from the junior high to university level for over twenty years, I know that the best learning occurs during one-on-one interaction. My favorite educational experiences have always been seeing a particular student have that "ah ha" moment when a challenging concept is mastered or the perfect word is discovered. Whether it's understanding subject matter like vocabulary or grammar or producing written argumentation, students always excel when a tutor addresses the student's particular requirements and skills. That's exactly the advantage I strive to give my pupils.My background in helping student writers is extensive, from teaching creative writing classes to working on everything from junior high papers to college admission essays to doctoral dissertations. Spending ten years at the University of Delaware in the English and Theatre Departments, I developed writing programs as well as taught almost all the subject matter courses the English Department offered. While I have a deep connection to literature (especially from the nineteenth century), I also have a background in technical writing that I picked up through my other obsession, which is performance magic.I enjoy sharing my passion for learning and mastering communication skills with others and am eager to share it with students who are ready to excel.

As a educator, I taught high school regular and remedial math students in the areas of Algebra through Pre-Calculus, university entry business classes, and lower level math classes. As an undergraduate student I tutored for the university, a local high school, and I was a private tutor to a student during her sophomore year through her senior year.My educational background includes a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from Pepperdine University, a Masters in Secondary Education specializing in curriculum and instruction from Grand Canyon University, a Masters in Business Administration from Arizona State University, and a Juris Doctorate from University of Denver. My extensive education is attributed to my desire to be the best in my field. In my spare time I enjoy Crossfit, trying new restaurants, and movie night Fridays with my family. I also visit my Texas family about three times a year and take a major trip every other year. My most recent adventure was a trip to Italy!My teaching philosophy is to take complex concepts and simplify them by learning a step by step process followed by demonstrations and student practice. Many times students have challenges in math because they are missing a step. As a tutor, it is my job to identify gaps and fill them so the student will be successful moving forward.

In my experience, I have found that everyone is capable of excelling. As a tutor, I see myself as a guide through unknown terrain. The journey across is yours to make; I am just here to help you get to your destination. I have been tutoring since High School working with middle school students to improve their reading and writing abilities. In college, I would help draft essays and research papers. Although I can tutor a variety of subjects, my specialty is with the language arts. I can tutor at all levels of reading and writing on whatever type of reading or writing you are engaging in, be it creative or academic. However, my favorite subject to tutor would be public speaking. Most people hate speaking in front of a crowd, and I used to count myself among them. What changed was that I realized no one wanted me to fail. The crowd was there to listen to me, and they all were rooting for me to get my ideas across clearly.Some final notes about myself: I received my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and my Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Merced; outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing video games like DA:I or SCII, and watching Anime and TV shows online; my favorite Anime would be either Fruits Baskets or Escaflowne; I also like to sing.
