Welcome to my tutoring page! This is my 21st year teaching as an elementary school educator! I completed my undergrad studies in 1995; (English Literature, Psychology, and Elementary Education,) and received my Master's degree in 2008; (Curriculum and Instructional Leadership.) Over the past twenty-plus years; I have taught all grades; first through middle school, and have participated in and served on several specialized leadership and professional development committees/ opportunities. I absolutely adore teaching math critical thinking and problem solving. I have also authored three children's books and hope to add more to my collection in the near future! I am thrilled to be a part of the educational professional community. I enjoy spending free time with my family, traveling, reading, walking/hiking, and am absolutely passionate about the teaching profession! My motto: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result."
