Debbie

Certified Tutor

i am currently working on my doctorate of Philosophy with a focus in psychology in cognition and instruction at Grand Canyon University. I currently work at GCU as an adjunct faculty part time. I earned my Masters in English and Creative Writing with a focus in Fiction from Southern New Hampshire University. I attended Walla Walla University for my BSN and was a CNA2 for sixteen years prior. I also have a Bachelors in Human Development and family Sciences with a specialty in Gerontology and a minor in psychology. I travel and move around a lot so tutoring students online has really helped me to continue doing what I love which is teaching. I have taught children and adults in Asia English. I have home schooled middle school and high school students online in a variety of subjects including English, math, history, and art. I was also a tutor while in nursing school for various nursing courses including pharmacology and physiology, as well as, preparing for standardized tests like Kaplan, HESI, and state board exams (NCLEX). I have worked in the medical field for over 16 years (Hospice, home health, med surge, emergency, ICU, NCCU, maternity, psych and behavioral- adult and child, and so on). I currently have worked as a Special education teacher in moderate to severe autism classrooms.

I think that anything can be accomplished with hard work and dedication. It's never too early to learn and it's never too late to get an education. I love to learn and I love to teach even more. My favorite subjects to teach are English, composition, creative writing, fiction, medicine, and math. When I am not teaching I love animals, singing, playing guitar, writing, reading, art, and spending time with my family. I look forward to meeting new students!
