"After retiring from teaching I was employed by my local church as Coordinator of Children's and Family Ministries where I worked extensively with the children and families of the congregation both one on one and in groups. I am currently a professional organizer specializing in coaching students in organizational and study skills, working with families on organizational skills, and tutoring children in a variety of subjects. I have 6+ years experience working with students Grades K--9 in face to face situations. I have been tutoring groups of students in China in reading and speaking English using children's literature and ESL techniques for the past 2 years using which is similar to Skype. I am quite comfortable with online face to face instruction. Working with students and watching each one succeed is my passion.

I love spending time with our children and grandchildren. It is so wonderful to not only play with the grandchildren, but to see their eyes light up when we make special discoveries together. COSI and the zoo are 2 of our favorite places. I am still very active in my church and enjoy traveling, sewing, reading, and renovating our home." less...
