I have always believed that learning should be fun! I have worked hard to make learning an enjoyable experience for over 25 years in education for my PreK through 6th grade students. My teaching style is engaging for learners, as I use various teaching methods catered to each of my students. I incorporate many different learning styles including, but not limited to: total physical response motions, kinesthetic hands-on movements and materials, memory tricks, brain thinking strategies, song/rhythm/dance and game strategies.
I enjoy working with children and their families to build confident learners, ensure academic success, and encourage a love for learning! I have a plethora of resources available to build strong lessons for tutoring sessions, but also welcome any ideas or suggestions from students and families. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask. I look forward to working with you soon!
