As a former college counselor at two universities , I am familiar with the academics required for successful college performance. I did administer the ACT and interpreted the scores for many students, assisting them in choosing fields of study based on their strongest capabilities and interests.

I was a good student, earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and French, minoring in English. I earned a Master's degree in College Student Counseling and worked, as mentioned above, at two universities. My proficiency in English and writing served me well. I am a published author of short manuscripts and am currently completing work on a book about my life with retired racing sled dogs. I currently own and manage a sled dog kennel.

As a tutor, I bring in diverse life experience and assist students in utilizing their strengths and improving in their weakest areas. English, Writing, Speaking are my areas of choice for teaching. I can also tutor in Beginning French, having had four years of college French.

I also worked in business as a Human Resources Manager, Employee Relations Manager, Trainer and Training Designer, Insurance and Risk Manager. Traveling to various other countries has also enhanced my ability to offer interesting tutoring.
