Are you looking for someone who can connect well with middle and high school students? Are you looking for someone with previous experience as both a teacher and a tutor? Is your child looking for someone hip and fun to work with? If so, then you've met your gal.

I love the kids who need the most help. I am an experienced, credentialed teacher, taking a break from the classroom. I have succeeded with children where often others have not been able to, and have successfully reached the ''difficult'' children, or the children who have different learning styles, as well as the children who do well in academic settings. I have helped children and teenagers who absolutely hate school! I can provide testimonials from other parents. I'm happy to email you my resume and a description of my services if you'd like. I will say up front that I charge more than some tutors but I am a trained, credentialed teacher and can be more helpful in less time than many. The best compliment I have ever gotten from a parent was that the change in her son was ''miraculous.'' That's why I do it!
