About Me

I graduated from The memphis">university of Memphis with my BA in History/Political Science/English and my MAT in Education. My BA GPA was 3.64 and my MAT GPA was 3.8. I am a licensed teacher by the State of Tennessee and I plan on pursuing my certification in ESL and My Masters in ESL. I hope to one day teach ESL for a university international program.

While I was working on my BA at the memphis">University of Memphis I tutored international students in ESL, and I volunteered for the memphis">University of Memphis disability services.
While living in Thailand I tutored adult students on improving their conversation skills.
While teaching in Tennessee the past two years, I have tutored students in Science, English, and Social Studies.

I like to engage the students instead of lecturing to them. I have learned the best way to engage students is to make the learning experience student centered. One of the practices I have used to do this is problem based learning. The way problem based learning works is that you present content in the form of a problem, and ask the student to come up with a solution. This style of learning is effective because it provides a dialog for the student-teacher relationship, which in turn leads to increased accountability on the part of the student.
