Looking for a Tutor?

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the Internet!

 

I work with students and their families to help them realize their academic potential and get the most that they can out of their school experiences.

 

I’ve worked with students of all ages for more than 25 years as a classroom teacher, a private tutor, and a homeschool mom. Sometimes all three at the same time! I’ve worked with early elementary kiddos and high schoolers and everything in between.

 

When I’m not teaching or tutoring, I can be found at my other job(s): Home Manager and Mother of Young Adults. Life can be a crazy, wild ride, and I just might have it all figured out by the time I grow up!

 

In my spare time I like to:

• Cook tasty food for my friends and family. I make a pretty delicious plate of carnitas! The exact recipe is a family secret, but you can find a similar recipe here.

• Play with succulents. I love to create arrangements in unexpected containers and take delight in watching the baby succulents grow up!

• Get comfy on the couch with a good novel. A recent favorite was The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.

• Memorize scripture. My Christian faith is central to my life, and I've started memorizing chapters of the Bible. These passages keep me hopeful in the midst of the inevitable struggles of life.

 

 

I was a homeschool mom for 16 years. Now I'm coaching from the sidelines as my young adults continue to make their way in the world. I'm no longer teaching my own kids, and this has freed me up to work with students and families in their various stages and styles of education.

 

Other random facts about me:

• I think it’s fun to diagram sentences.

• I work math problems to relax. Seriously. It helps take my mind off the stresses of everyday life, and I know that, in math, there’s always a right answer.

• I try but never quite feel caught up on the dishes and laundry and vacuuming and dusting. Maybe it's a character flaw; maybe it's a sign that my priorities lie elsewhere. Maybe it's a little bit of both!

 

 

I know what it’s like to live in the real world of managing the details of life while helping the kids thrive with their schoolwork. If you’re ready for some help with the academic side of things, let’s chat soon!
