I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young minds to achieve greatness. I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be promoted t

My degree in Psychology has a strong basis in Behavior Analysis. This is what I will be getting my Master’s degree in starting in the Fall. My teaching style mainly focuses on positive reinforcement. I use positive reinforcement in order to increase a behavior of choice. The behaviors we want to increase can range from working more math problems, reading more, increase doing home work, increase studying, etc. An instructional method will be used as well in order increase their knowledge of the subject and then positive reinforcement will increase their confidence and motivation which is necessary for success. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Mississippi. I am dedicated and plan to further my education at the Master’s level.

As a person with much patients and a broad understanding of general knowledge, I have attained the ability to help others learn as well. Being blessed with excellent teachers in my past, I have grasped all the subjects well enough to help other students achieve high marks as well. I received an AA degree in General Education and a BFA in Interior Design. It was me the other students would come to when they needed help understanding math problems, writing essays or developing design skills. Arousing a desire within the student has always been the key for my success as a tutor. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways.

I am an educator both by heart and by trade. It is my desire to extend my love of learning to students. This love includes both reading and writing.

As an educator for seven years, I have worked in several different environments and have worn several different hats. I have a BA in English with a concentration in Mass Communications, an MA in Secondary Education with a concentration in Language Arts, and an MA in Educational Leadership and Administration.

Learning should be interesting; an exploration of their world. I am patient, kind and enjoy encouraging children in their potential.
