I have a Master's degree in Elementary Education, and supplemental degrees in Language Arts and Science. I have taught for 20+ years in elementary school, many of those years in 5th grade. I retired, and now I sub for other classes/ teachers, K-5th. As a student, I often struggled with the methods of teaching. I always wanted more depth in order to fully understand.

I always wanted to know why and how. As a teacher, I always remember those experiences. I remember that everyone learns differently, and that's great. I strive to meet a student where they are, going back to a point of mutual understanding, so that I can help them find their way forward in learning.
I love to encourage the love of learning!
