FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always appreciate it when a new customer wants to contact me before tutoring begins. It helps me to identify areas of support for the student, and to become acquainted. Students in 3rd grade and above are given an assessment to determine where each student needs assistance.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taught in the elementary classroom for over 10 years. As the primary teacher in grades 1-5, I was responsible for teaching reading, math, history, and computer skills. In addition, I have worked for the Kumon Reading & Math Center in Longmont for 5 years.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Becoming a teacher was a childhood decision. After I raised my children and they were in school I went back to college to make that a real decision. After graduation, I began working in Boulder Valley schools. I receive great joy from watching children, and adults, learn and develop into successful people. Children are teachers, too, because of their innocence and candor.
