Fun Facts

I have a brown freckle in my left eye. I love to sing (but am shy) and play the piano. My reason for being an educator is because I had an undiagnosed learning difference that was only diagnosed with the summer before my senior year of high school. The assistance I was provided help me to be a better student and in turn a better teacher!

About Me

I have been tutoring people of all ages starting at age 13. I knew I wanted to be an educator at 12 and a education/georgia/atlanta">special education teacher at 13. I have a BA in education/georgia/atlanta">Special Education from Goucher College and an M.Ed in Early Childhood Intervention and Family Support at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Teaching is one of my life's passions because as I struggled, I came to learn that others that struggling with learning disabilities can reach their highest potential with my help.

Experience

As stated above, I have been tutoring children, teens, and adults since I was 13. It is my goal and passion to help those that feel helpless be able to reach their full potential. Throughout college, I had internships in various elementary level classrooms using differential learning. I have a lot of experience working with people with significant developmental delays through a camp program and teaching.

Approach

In school, I was the "good girl." I had decent grades, always wanted to please the teachers by shy about asking for help. With my students, I provide them with a comfortable and safe environment in which they feel comfortable asking for help. I am kind but firm, yet am able to use my differentiated skills to help teach each child at their level.
