Experience Summary
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism from the University of Georgia. I have worked as a freelance writer for many years with local newspapers and various companies and have considerable experience writing. I successfully home-schooled each of my 3 children in all required subjects through middle school (English, science, math through Algebra 2, history, etc.). My son scored a 1590 on the SAT and is now a sophomore in college with a full academic scholarship; my daughters maintain a 4.0 average and excel in their current school. I have also taught classes in grammar, literature and public speaking. In addition, I work weekly with my church youth group and love young people.
Teaching Style
I seek to discover the unique interests, personalities, and learning styles of each student; I discover what motivates them and use that understanding towards academic success. I am committed to teaching the material your child needs to know but also want to awaken a desire to learn in your child. While I seek to make learning fascinating and fun, I also expect children to be responsible. I am kind and encouraging, but unafraid to hold your child accountable when necessary. I believe all children can enjoy learning. I love working with children - from elementary students to high school.
