I love teaching interactive classes that get the students involved while feeling completely comfortable while they are in my classroom. I was such a shy student when I was in school and it warms my heart to see students that remind me of myself. I love working with these students and helping them build their confidence. Reading, math, and American history are my passions but I hope to offer many different types of classes for your learners including fun crafting classes, as this is something I love to do in my free time!

I have been working with students since 2007, when I began babysitting. I even took a course when I was in middle school that made me a Certified Sitter through the Red Cross. As I got older, my passion for helping and teaching children only continued to grow. I completed the education as a career pathway course in high school which allowed me to work in a local elementary school for 2 of my high school years. I gained so much experience while doing this. I was able to work with small groups of students on things such as math and reading, which is where my passion began. After high school, I went to college for three years to become a teacher before changing my major to sociology. I still loved teaching, but I became so interested in how our society affects the way that students learn and the opportunities that they have. Throughout college, I worked as an assistant in an after school program where I was responsible for working with children ages 5-11. As the years went on, I was promoted to the director of the after school program. Along with being the director, I was also an online ESL teacher. Currently, I am teaching 1st grade at a local private school and I absolutley LOVE my job! In my younger years, I always wanted to teach and I still want to teach. I have equipped myself with years of education experience as well as sociology experience and I have a good grasp on why children act the way they do and how those actions can affect their learning. I love the online platform because it allows me to do what I have always wanted to do - teach. 

I am so excited and thrilled for the opportunity to meet your learner! See you soon!!
