Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have taught all of my adult life.   I have taught in many mediums - traditional classrooms, virtual classrooms, and a tutoring business which I established and ran for 25 years.  I love teaching and cherish the times I witness their learning.  I find that the times I spend with children are some of my most precious times.
I love teaching children everything.  I want to teach basic math and reading and help students that may need more instruction and/or practice.  However, I am looking forward to also teaching some other courses - some math tricks, identifying emotions, and how to best act from them.    I have 3 daughters and 5 grandkids that I love unconditionally.  I live in Florida and enjoy having the Atlantic so close.  
My teaching is based on small steps and positive experiences.  Those 2 items promote high self-confidence and academic success.
I am honored to work with your children and be a part of helping them reach their academic potential.
