I created a tutoring company catering to 6th grade and up in 2004 and still have clients to this day. I taught in private school for 2 years and have been in the public sector since 2017!

Additional biographical information

I have templates for EVERYTHING, but don't always have time to upload or even remember to upload. I am beyond happy to help any teacher looking for resources. If I don't have something posted, feel free to reach out and ask if I have it (if I don't, I can usually make it to your specifications pretty easily).
