Introduction: In high school, I excelled in math and was always asked to tutor any student who either didn't understand or missed the assignment. This was as much a skill as my patience.
I then went on to UCLA as an English major and received my BA. I ended my education with an MA in Counseling Psychology. I opened a practice but closed it once I had my kids. I have been a mother for 10 years now and an aide or volunteer at their school for the last six.
I have decided to start tutoring elementary-aged kids in math and reading. That is where I have found the need to be of the most assistance and of the most help.
