"Hello! I began as a licensed high school teacher at one of Minnesota's public school districts and I have taught social studies, mathematics and writing. Since 2012 I have tutored students and have done so on a full time basis for several years. I am experienced in working one on one with students as a special education teacher. I enjoy working with student's who struggle with academics and also with those who excel and are looking for new challenges. I tailor my tutoring styles to the particular needs each student and subject area; for example, with mathematics, I often will focus on strengthening foundation skills and mental math. I believe in helping students gain lifelong skills and knowledge in concert with specific course work and exam preparation. I love to inspire curiosity in students, to not only make them ask questions but want to find the answer on their own." less...
