About
I live in the beautiful and vast mountains of Colorado. Snowboarding, reading, hiking, and camping are some of my hobbies. Teaching and exploring in the wilderness is a huge passion of mine. Tutoring ... is great because I get to help students learn in a way that makes the most sense to them. Tutoring is most helpful when the student has control over what their goals are and when our tutoring schedule includes time for brain breaks or mini-lessons when needed. Tutoring is fun for me because I want to make it engaging and fun for you! I am very kind, a great-listener, and love to joke around :)read more
