I have worked in the education field in some type of capacity for 25 years now. I have worked with children in a variety of settings: child care, my own children in a homeschool setting, Sunday School, being a substitute teacher in elementary and secondary classrooms, preschool teacher, preschool music teacher. I have also been a piano instructor in my home for the last 20 years. Working one on one with students is something I have much experience with and excel in. I have a passion to instill a love for learning, be it music, reading, or other topics. I feel this experience and skill set would be ideal for a reading tutor position within the primary grades.
