Fun Facts

One passion people quickly learn about me is that I LOVE riding horses and reading! Any time I have a chance, you will find me riding or studying.

About Me

My name is J'Niya Waddell, and I am a proud alumni of Livingstone College with a degree in psychology. Currently, I teach kindergarten at Charlotte Mecklenburg School.

Experience

I have a total of 6 years of experience working with children.My journey in education began with tutoring my family members, and from there, I expanded my tutoring services to various age groups in the community, ranging from Kindergarten to 2nd grade.

Approach

As a child, I faced challenges in school, especially with reading, and found learning to be quite difficult and demoralizing. However, I was fortunate to have a teacher in elementary school who believed in me, provided positive encouragement, and never gave up on me. Their persistence and support made a significant impact on my life and inspired me to become an educator. I am passionate about helping children with learning disabilities and shaping their minds to believe in themselves.
