...I tutored professionally for over three years for individual classes as well as standardized test preparation. I am able to tutor a wide variety of subjects; however, my passion lies in languages and history.

Concurrently, I served as a Girl Scout Troop leader where I practiced sight words, reading comprehension, and writing...

...flaws with their logic so they will not make the same mistake in the future. This also enhances their understanding of a concept because they are seeing where the mistake was rather than me simply pointing it out to them.

...was like water to a fish. My undergraduate work was in Physics and Math (BA) with graduate work in math, Theology, and educational leadership (M.Div., M.A. Ph.D.). My calling as an educator has been to promote life-long learning in areas of life that assist the learner in rising to new heights of understanding, productivity, and healthy relationships. Some seeming deviations from this calling have been becoming a pilot, playing a lot of golf, and running...

...myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help...

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just...
