I love to create learning experiences that help each individual child to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable them to be responsible, contributing, and caring citizens in our world. I have a system that can increase the academic achievement. I do this by evaluating educational baselines, tailoring to interests and learning styles.

“The art of Teaching is the art of assisting discovery.” -Mark Van Doren

I bring a wealth of experience from my 32 years in the teaching field and have come to the conclusion through research and experience that there are eight years of optimization of learning for the basics of knowledge, reading, math and writing. If a person can do those three things proficiently, they can be anything.

“It is the supreme act of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” -Einstein

I strive to create a classroom environment where all learning styles are valued, thinking is encouraged, creativity nurtured, uniqueness respected, and self-responsibility is required.

“Education is the kindling of a FLAME not the filling of a vessel.” -Socrates
