I have a great deal of experience with people of all ages, from pre-kindergarten to adult, in all subject areas (except high school/college math and science), including English as a Second Language and Special Education.

Hobbies
I enjoy a wide range of hobbies. I love to do things outdoors such as tennis, horseback riding, sailing, swimming, volleyball, and cycling. For enrichment, I play the piano, sing in the choir, bake, enjoy dog walking or time with my cats. I also love my few moments of quiet time at home when I can read (especially my favorite authors, Agatha Christie, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald). For even more fun, you can find me at a Lions or Tigers game, traveling (especially wonderful when I get the chance to speak French and Spanish). Believe it or not, I am also into Facebook & Skyping (It's the only way I can get a hold of my kids, lol).
