I am a retired K-5 teacher with 30 years experience. Through my years of teaching, I have learned that no two learners are alike. All learners want to be successful and I find great pleasure in finding ways for each learner to experience personal success.

I believe that it is my duty to challenge students to explore knowledge through open-minded discussion. It is also my duty to encourage students to take responsibilities for their own learning. Each student approaches the learning process with a set of attitude based on individual beliefs, values, and emotions. It is my duty to establish mutual understanding with each individual student, to encourage critical thinking, and to transfer learning into positive impact. It is also my duty to adapt each lesson and assignment to student's individual strengths and needs and to make learning meaningful for each student. Students should not be afraid of making mistakes. It is my duty to create a positive learning environment where students' learning endeavor is supported. It is also my duty to encourage students to be participate in learning, to make discoveries, and to risk making mistakes. Students are the source of new knowledge. I continue learning new ideas from my students. Through personal reflections I refine my teaching practice and expand my knowledge.

I have been an education for 30 years. I started out as a teacher and I taught every grade K through sixth. I then became a principal for elementary and I also was assistant principal at middle school. As a teacher and a principal, I always valued relationships.

As a tutor, I think it's a great opportunity to get to know students as individual learners and to help them become successful and to meet their goals.

I've been an educator for over a decade. My desire to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students is not limited to just the classroom. I set the bars very high for my students and I go above and beyond to help them fulfill those goals. Over the years that I've taught, I worked with many different students with many different needs. It is my goal to share with my students the excitement, dedication and hard work, that comes along when you apply yourself. I believe that students can learn, they just learn differently. As an educator, its my job to make sure all my students thrive successfully. That's why I differentiate my lesson to meet each student's needs. I hold myself to the same standards that I hold my students. That is, I strive to become a skilled thinker and learner, and I believe this is a life-long process.

I previously taught 6th and 7th-grade pre-algebra as a lead teacher and taught regular and Sped students in my class.
