Family is everything to me, and I cherish mine as I will yours! I've been in the field of education most of my working career. I have a Master's Degree in Education. I'm great at connecting with children and developing lasting relationships. (Without establishing rapport, we won't get very far.) For the past three and a half years, I worked as a tutor in a local public school, but with Covid 19, I have decided not to return. Needless to say, I'm very comfortable assisting with schoolwork and have a lot of experience teaching challenged learners. I like having fun, I am reliable, I'm trustworthy, I'm active, and I almost never get sick! In fact, I don't remember the last time I even had a cold! I understand the importance to establishing routines. I'm a self starter and don't need much direction. I'm a team player and feel like I Read more always have something to learn! I have a lot to bring to the table and look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank you for this opportunity.
