Experience Summary
I graduated from McIntosh High School in Fayette County and studied English and Secondary Education at Berry College. I student taught for a year at Rome High School before graduating and becoming a substitute teacher in Fayette County. I have completed three long-term substitute positions, two of which put me in charge of an entire classroom with all the responsibilities of a full-time teacher. Additionally, I worked at Aloha-USA Mind Math with Elementary Students as an English Teacher and occasionally a Math teacher.
Teaching Style
I opt for making the material relatable to my students, which causes it to be more interesting and meaningful. When something is relevant, it is a lot more fun and kids are much more willing to want to learn, which is, of course, ideal.
My Hobbies
I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music and watching movies.
Other Comments
I have a passion for English and Literature that I would love to share with your child. I want to do more than just help your child succeed in school, I want them to enjoy it and therefore want to succeed as well.
