In addition to teaching my own children, I founded a local microschool that has grown to over sixty students where I teach IEW (writing), grammar, and history as well as tutoring students in math from third grade to Algebra I.

I am a teacher and mom of four homeschoolers that I have successfully tutored for almost ten years. In addition to teaching my own children, I founded a local microschool that has grown to over sixty students where I teach IEW (writing), grammar, and history as well as tutoring students in math from third grade to Algebra I. In this setting, I have tutored all students including those with dyslexia and ADHD, helping them become more confident learners. I can teach from all math curriculums, but am particularly knowledgeable with the Teaching Textbooks program. I also teach phonics, writing and Grammar.
While one on one tutoring is my primary focus through Wyzant, I also strive to teach children how to be more independent learners. Students will feel more successful as they "learn how to learn" using the SOAR Study Skills method that has been successful in our micro-school.
In addition to tutoring students, I am also available to tutor new homeschooling families on the nuances of learning at home. In our homeschool, my oldest child was able to graduate homeschool high school with 40+ college credits and is on track to graduate with a bachelor's degree in statistics by age twenty, debt free. My other children are on target to reach similar goals.
Let me be your mentor as you choose curriculum to fit your family's needs, learn how to structure your homeschool day, teach struggling and reluctant learners, homeschool high school, utilize dual credit (college credit) for older students, or start your own local micro-school.
