"Your methods have helped me so much", "You're such a good teacher" are common quotes I have heard from my students over the years, and it means so much to me. I believe in helping people achieve their educational goals. I have a BA in History with a minor in Theatre Arts, as well as a Master's in Education. I have a teaching license and am endorsed in PreK-12 Social Studies, ELA, and ESOL. I also tutor college students. I have also taught Chess, Creative Writing, Geography, and Cooking. I have over ten years of teaching experience in various grades at schools in Oregon and Texas, as well as overseas in three countries - The Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, and Kuwait. I love to travel. My profile picture was taken by the Baltic Sea in Estonia.

I am currently taking a break from full-time teaching as I recover from a pulmonary embolism, and so I am doing online tutoring exclusively. My methods have helped students appreciate subjects that they previously struggled with or didn't like, and as a result they gain greater confidence and self-efficacy. I live in the Pacific Standard Time Zone. Let me know how I can help you in your academic goals, and I hope to see you soon.
