"I am a third year high school social studies teacher. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in History from Northern Illinois University, and received my teacher certification from Western Governors University. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Curriculum from Western Governors University.

I have a teaching approach that is relaxed and structured at the same time. I am easy going with students. For example, I am willing to work with students of many different learning styles, and utilize many types of activities and lesson plans. However, I expect maximum effort from my students. I feel that a teacher needs to be a motivator as well as a educator, and I strive to motivate students to learn and maximize their talents on a daily basis.

I have worked extensively with high school aged students, but have extensive coaching experience at both the high school and middle school level. I feel that a student is a student, regardless of the age. Therefore, I am willing to tutor students of all ages and learning abilities, and will do my best to maximize their learning abilities.

As a tutor, I will adapt to your child's learning ability and strengths, and will strive to help them achieve their goals. I am personable, caring, and confident. I strive in being diligent and maintaining a structured work schedule. I can help your child learn, and look forward to working with you." less...
