I build bridges between learners and learning opportunities. If you’re struggling with your computer or software, writing, preparing for a test, looking for tutoring for your young student, look no further. I work on computer literacy skills from standard operating systems operation to Office products, desktop publishing, and personal finance. I work with students on K-12 reading and math skills. Past and present students feel comfortable and build self esteem under my tutelage. I learn about the student’s needs and learning style, then provide materials and encouragement designed to build foundations and skills that will last a lifetime.

In addition, I have a 30-year combination of administrative management, education, and instruction in the workforce and higher education environments. I am a uniquely well-rounded tutor with degrees in occupational education and adult education with a minor in English. I tutored students in common core to pass GED/TASC testing. I taught at a community college as an adjunct instructor for Critical Reading and German. I also worked as a functional academic skills instructor for military members reviewing for ASVAB and promotion testing, as well as leadership training. Functional academic skills are those needed to pass standardized tests, such as, basic math, reading, and writing skills. Also included were graphical, mechanical, and organization skills.

I have a background in Educational Technology, Information Systems and earned my Doctorate in Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Educational technology. Other educational areas include, English, Information Systems, and Occupational Education. I present at conferences, write for publication, and am the technology director for the Adult Higher Education Alliance. I recently completed my doctorate degree in Educational Leadership with specialization in Educational Technology. My dissertation research helped me create a basic list of best practices for designing and developing massive open online courses. This followed a Masters in Adult Education with a technology specialization and a Bachelors in Occupational Education specializing in computer information systems and English.

I started tutoring in software programs in 1989 in the USAF as Software skills became more and more in demand. I started my own business in 1991 to meet the growing needs of individuals who wanted to learn how to use the new software being developed.
