Fun Facts

One thing you will quickly learn about me is that I love animals and I spend most of my free time riding my horse and competing in show jumping. I also love to write and play music and spend my time outdoors with my dogs. As a tutor, I am animated, and energetic, and love to get students involved in hands-on learning. I love to learn new things and am always looking to grow as a teacher. You can always find me browsing Barnes & Noble looking for the next great nonfiction read.

About Me

I am a newly appointed certified reading-intensive high school teacher who loves all things to do with literacy and academics. I graduated from Nova Southeastern with an Ed.D in reading education in 2017. I also have several other degrees in education, criminal justice, and communications. Currently, I am working on completing credentials to add on an ESE or exceptional student education endorsement and ESOL endorsement.

Experience

I have been a tutor for over 10 years and have been able to work in all types of capacities in education to truly understand the importance of individualizing tutor sessions for clients. I have tutored all the main subjects for elementary, middle, and high school. I have also worked as a substitute at all levels and this has given me better insights into teaching content and differentiating lessons for different student populations.

Approach

I use visuals, modelling, close and repeated reading, reading strategies, time management and study skills, inquiry, and problem-based solving to help students conquer core content areas and prepare for tests. As a child, I was confident and never had test anxiety. However, I had severe test anxiety over math and math portions of the SAT and PSAT when I was in high school. When I got into my undergraduate year, I had several great advanced math teachers that helped me to overcome my fear of math
