Working with different age groups, have shown me that every child is their own individual. I get to know the children I work with to understand the best approach to take with them.

I was determined to be the first to attend and graduate from college out of a big family. I have learned different aspects of Psychology to apply to everyday life.

I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BA in English Literature.

I believe in inspiring children to be intrinsically motivated to learn. By learning who a child is we, in turn, learn how to teach them.

Assuming that most students would rather be anywhere than an English class, I listen to their interests of the moment and then relate them to my goals. I explore their previous knowledge and build on that, avoiding either boring them or talking over their heads. I listen, we laugh, and then I reel them in, constantly showing them how my goals are relevant to their ultimate desires. Fast, if not immediate, feedback is essential to keeping students motivated, as is elaborate explanation of why they scored what they score. Therefore, students see themselves as in control of their own learning, with a benevolent and knowledgeable mentor easing them along. I have taught English to students at levels from seventh graders through college freshmen. My M.A. in English Literature equipped me to inspire both eager and reluctant students to write and read with confidence and capability. As a reporte
