Tutor Spotlights
Meet Maureen, 2022 Tutor of the Year
Spotlight on Maureen
Maureen's can-do attitude inspired LVSC to adopt virtual programming in the early days of the pandemic.
LVSC Journey: I became an LVSC volunteer in Feb 2020, right before Covid lockdown! My motivation was due to the fact that I would be retiring from my job as a school nurse, and I was looking for a path where I could continue helping people.
Memorable LVSC Moment: The most memorable moment was when my first student's young son wrote a message during a Zoom session to thank me for teaching his dad to speak English!
Day Job: Although I am retired, I am exploring the possibility of returning as a school nurse on a part-time basis. Currently, my "day job" involves playing pickleball, reading, and visiting homebound parishioners from St. Ann Church.
Favorite Quote: "Smile! And smile generously. It's amazing how a generous smile can literally lift people's spirits!" by Matthew Kelly
Favorite Food: Thai cuisine. I truly enjoy the interesting blend of flavors and ingredients.
Favorite Book: A Simple Path, by Mother Teresa and Lucinda Vardey.
R&R Spot: Anywhere with my husband, Jim! The setting would likely be Cabo San Lucas in Mexico or Ocean City, NJ.
