Hobbies
Happy outdoorsy person who loves to teach and likes to spend time with children and pets; I am experienced and professional and very enthusiastic! I am a voracious reader (to the point of addiction!) and also a part-time actor. Therefore, I am also a big movie and theater buff. I also volunteer with children and animals; I read to young children and volunteer at an animal shelter. I will tailor lessons especially for you and your learning style. I will make learning fun!
