About Me

I graduated magna cum laude with a GPA of 3.72 from Georgia State University with my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2012. I have been an elementary school teacher for nine years! I have taught every grade except second and kindergarten. I was even a education/georgia/atlanta">special education teacher for two years.

In January, I will be enrolled in graduate school to get my master's degree in Reading and Literacy. After that, I will get my specialist degree in Educational Leadership. My goal is to open my own school.

When I taught first grade I stayed after school to atlanta">tutor my students that were struggling. I was able to increase their abilities in phonics by playing games and reviewing letter sounds. With my third and fifth grade students I was able to help them master concepts such as multiplying and dividing fractions, finding area and perimeter, learning multiplication facts, and so much more. I believe that taking the time to get to know my students really helped me to connect with them and enable their learn of learning.

In order to effectively teach my students I get to know them on a personal level. This enables me to use what they like in order to teach them. I teach my students tricks to master difficult concepts as well as relate things to real life so that they can relate to the topic.

Experience

As an elementary school teacher, I encourage and inspire students to learn daily. During the summer children tend to lose information and I want to help prevent that. Working for Frog atlanta">Tutoring allows me to keep students inspired to learn during the summer.

Approach

I always help students reach their potential by integrating their interest in their learning. I encourage students to discover the answers instead of giving then the answers.
