At Inspired Instruction I make learning fun. Tutoring uses arts integration to support engagement and learning. With a focus on foundational skills, I offer tutoring in English or Spanish twice per week in person in North Portland, Oregon or virtually worldwide. A second location in Sellwood is coming soon.
