Summary

I enjoyed teaching English for 21 years before I retired. I missed working with students and started tutoring at a local school. I left that when we moved out of the area a few months later. I recently started mentoring at the high school near me and feel like I would like to do more than just that. My neighbor told me how much she enjoys tutoring at DelTech and I am excited about that being a possibility for me. I am reliable and conscientious and would be happy to be part of an education system again.
