Hobbies
Over the past 8 years I have taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, which give me a great handle on what is expected from students at each grade level. I have a very energetic personality, which I use to my advantage when working with kids. Through most of my tutoring I am able to take a skill (whether it be reading or math) and turn it into a fun game. Students don't realize they are learning while we are laughing and having fun!
