A little about me . . . I grew up in Columbia but went to UNC for college (Go Heels!) and then moved to Atlanta where I taught for 13 years. Three years ago we decided to move back so here I am ! My husband and I have three wonderful children ages 8, 5, and 1 who keep us busy and entertained.

Need help? I am available to tutor students mornings (except Wednesdays) beginning at 8:15. There is also after school tutoring in the library Monday-Thursday from 4-5.
