My husband and I, along with our three elementary-aged children, live in western Oregon. Of all my experience with teaching and tutoring over the years, I have come to enjoy online teaching and learning the best! One of the most important aspects of teaching for me is the ability to get to know my students and personalize the learning experience in ways that make sense to individual learning needs and styles. My instruction style involves breaking concepts down into steps, finding and using helpful resources, holding important discussions, and seeking out connections between various concepts or subject matter. Real-world connections are very important in every subject, and I enjoy helping students to make those connections in their learning. I also enjoy creating a fun, safe, supportive, and inclusive environment in which students can learn. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, oil painting, photography, reading, and hiking with my dog. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-title\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M5 10.0001V16.0112C5 16.3702 5 16.5496 5.05465 16.7081C5.10299 16.8482 5.18187 16.9759 5.28558 17.0817C5.40287 17.2015 5.5634 17.2818 5.88446 17.4423L11.2845 20.1423C11.5468 20.2735 11.678 20.3391 11.8156 20.3649C11.9375 20.3877 12.0625 20.3877 12.1844 20.3649C12.322 20.3391 12.4532 20.2735 12.7155 20.1423L18.1155 17.4423C18.4366 17.2818 18.5971 17.2015 18.7144 17.0817C18.8181 16.9759 18.897 16.8482 18.9453 16.7081C19 16.5496 19 16.3702 19 16.0112V10.0001M2 8.50006L11.6422 3.67895C11.7734 3.61336 11.839 3.58056 11.9078 3.56766C11.9687 3.55622 12.0313 3.55622 12.0922 3.56766C12.161 3.58056 12.2266 3.61336 12.3578 3.67895L22 8.50006L12.3578 13.3212C12.2266 13.3868 12.161 13.4196 12.0922 13.4325C12.0313 13.4439 11.9687 13.4439 11.9078 13.4325C11.839 13.4196 11.7734 13.3868 11.6422 13.3212L2 8.50006Z\" stroke=\"#002A94\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003eTeaching Specialization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"desc-desc\"\u003eI have been teaching since 2004 and hold a masters degree in education (M.Ed) from Oregon State University.
