"Although I am not a "teacher," I do have an educator's certification for speech-language pathology. I work for West Ada School District as a speech therapist. Since I have to stay home from work due to the Corona Virus, I am looking to help kids with their learning online. I was a substitute teacher for a year, when I discovered I loved teaching kids. I also tutored (math) as a volunteer at an after-school program in the past. I love seeing students feel proud of themselves when I can show them that things aren't "too hard" for them after all.

I have a bachelor's in accounting. Math was my first love as a student. I went as high as pre-calculus in high school. Algebra was my favorite. I like helping people with math any chance I can get know.

English is my strength. I had an outstanding grammar teacher in high school, who helped me later to earn A's on college papers. As a speech-language pathologist now, I teach grammar and vocabulary every day. I would enjoy going more in depth to help students with writing as well. I can give examples to bring words to life and help kids make connections with previous knowledge. I always try to give just enough support, so that students can figure out a little more on their own each try. I included Bible Studies under my subjects because I study the Bible weekly as a Christian, and I have taken college courses on the Old and New Testaments.

I can't wait to meet you! Please contact me soon, so I can help you become a star with your learning adventures!" less...
