I have been in the world of education since 2001 when I completed my degree in elementary education. I was a teacher teaching mainly teaching 1st and 2nd grade students and I also earned my M.A. in literacy during that time as well. I taught in the public school environment until 2016, when I decided to take my passion for education out of the traditional school system. Once I left the classroom, I was the private educator for a 2nd grade child whose parents wanted the homeschool experience, but did not want to homeschool him themselves. I loved how I was able to personalize his instruction based on his needs and interests!

I also served as a hybrid homeschool teacher, where I taught students 2 days per week and their parents taught them the rest of the time. I loved this as I had a very small class so I was able to give all of my students the attention that they truly deserve and I can personalize instruction as well. 

I still have maintained my Michigan teaching certificate.

I love teaching a variety of topics and I have over 20 years of experience with children.  Currently, I am interested in teaching math and language arts in the elementary grades.  I am interested in helping all kinds of students including those who are struggling, students that need an extra challenge, and students that are homeschooling, I have a passion for making learning a fun and enjoyable experience while using games and activities as much as possible!

I am extremely dedicated to my students and their overall achievement and confidence level when it comes to education.  I am more than just a one class or session resource for your child as you can depend on me as a continuous resource and I will help you as much as possible in class and after class is completed!
