Hello! I would love to have the opportunity to help you understand and even enjoy math and English! I have some experience tutoring and am beginning to pursue tutoring as a career. I have three children and have been a stay at home mom (helping them plenty with their homework) since I finished college in 2007. I have bachelors degrees in linguistics and speech and hearing sciences, with a cumulative GPA of 3.9.

I have excellent writing and proofreading skills, as well as superb grades in the English and literature classes that I have completed. The classes I completed for my degrees in speech and hearing sciences and linguistics have deepened my understanding of the English language as well as languages in general. They have also given me an understanding of the challenges that people face when learning new languages. I am available for proofreading and for English conversation in order to help you polish your English skills in speaking and/or writing.

I have some experience tutoring and I have found that one-on-one assistance comes naturally to me. I would love to see your face brighten up when you understand how to solve for x or how to polish your essay! I have a history of top grades in math classes, and I have helped my children to solve their math problems through the years. Bring your problems to me and I will help you solve them and succeed in that challenging subject!

Approved Subjects

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

I was born into a Christian family, and taken to church regularly since conception. I have been through several Bible training classes as well, in a variety of different deniminations. Though I have had no formal training (such as seminary), I have been a lifelong scholar of the Bible, resulting in a head full of biblical references and theological understanding. In college, I had a year of Modern Hebrew and a year of German as part of my linguistic degree. As I began to study Koine Greek, I noticed the parallels and similarities between its structures and that of German. My college education has broadened and deepened my understanding of languages and translation so that my ability to research the meaning of the Greek and Hebrew behind modern translations has increased. If you are looking for someone to give you tools and insights to help you to study the Bible on your own and discover its many treasures, I am that person. I will not teach you a theology, but I can help you to discover the truth for yourself within the pages of the Bible.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been tutoring my own children for 18 years. In January of 2019, I began tutoring children professionally. My focus is on math and English, but I can assist elementary students in any subjects (I have a B.S. in a field of biology as well). This year I tutored two elementary-age children for a few months, resulting in them passing school entrance exams that they had previously failed. I can work with a child regardless of their skill level, and help bring their skills and understanding up to standards. Then I can help them through their current schoolwork to keep them on top of things.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have helped several students improve their math skills and bring up their grades and test scores.
Linguistics

Linguistics

I completed my bachelor's degree in linguistics at the University of Washington, magna cum laude, in 2007. Over the course of my studies, I also completed a year of German and a course in the history of the German language, as well as a year of Modern Hebrew. My studies in linguistics overlapped with my courses in speech and hearing sciences, in which I learned about language acquisition as well as the biological, psychological, and social aspects of speech and language.
