I am a patient tutor, fluent in Spanish and English, with decades of experience teaching and tutoring kids and adults. I homeschooled our three kids. I currently tutor two adults and one high school student in Spanish and one grade school student in English, also helping her with homework, when needed. I can give references. My students have told me that I am a good teacher and tutor. I love Jesus Christ, my Savior. Tutoring and writing songs are my favorite jobs. Some students learn better while moving more and I am willing to walk with the student while doing things like studying spelling words. Having a student jump rope while skip-counting, 4, 8, 12 ... can help the student to remember better.

I win most of the games of chess that I play with kids and some that I play with adults. I have been playing since grade school and I am over 50.
