Experience
I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. After graduation, I worked as a 4th and 5th grade teacher, and I currently work with students who are finding reading and math challenging. I have worked with students in both elementary and middle school, and focus on reading, writing, math, and SSAT preparation. I am passionate about helping younger students establish a good foundation in reading, as reading skills are the key to academic success. I also enjoy helping my students find their enthusiasm for writing. However, I am most enthusiastic about tutoring students in math, as I've always enjoyed the subject and I like to try to pass along this love for numbers to each of my students. As an educator, I know that each student learns differently, so I take the time to assess each student's abilities, challenges, and goals in order to fine-tune my approach to the subject in question. I inspire students to push their limits by celebrating their accomplishments. Watching my students succeed in previously intimidating concepts is incredibly rewarding! When I'm not teaching, I enjoy gardening, cross-stitching, watching a good documentary, and spending time with my eight sisters.
