I have a bachelors degree in Biology and am passionate about education. I have experience in Montessori approach with toddlers. I have tutored in a traditional learning style elementary school. I have two kids, and currently tutor my tenth grader. I have also tutored calculus and physics while in college. After working with me, I truly hope you walk away knowing what you need to focus on. I like to approach the problem in a way that is easier for you to understand.
"Helps me in a fun and cool way she helped me in decimals. And is the reason I am so smart but some times I don’t understand and she tries to help in different ways to make sure I understand.

She’s been teaching for a long time she’s been teaching me for almost 5 years.
