"I love to teach! I began my teaching career in 1989; at that moment, I knew that teaching and mentoring students was the fit for me. I was certified to teach the Abeka curriculum; many private schools use Abeka as their primary curriculum. I began teaching this curriculum as a 5th-grade teacher and later taught 6th grade at an Academy. I taught all subjects and continued my education by attending teaching seminars.

If your child is confident in basic math facts, advanced math subjects should be less challenging. I will help your child master the fundamentals of math; I will also work along with them, so they can see and understand step-by-step examples. The Abeka English curriculum is exceptional; I excelled in this subject during my career. I taught 5th- and 6th-grade English at private schools. I can tutor your child in English, phonics, reading, and grammar. Once they've grasped phonics, reading, and comprehension, I will help them understa" less...
