"I luv teaching English Language Arts and literacy. I currently teach literacy intervention at my local elementary school, and I'm experienced in varied literacy intervention systems. I believe that profiency in all 4 language domains is necessary for lasting successes in life. These domains are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Please note: if you wish to do an instant book, please message me, as I often don't recieve the booking alerts.

I hold a B.S. in Secondary Education, with an emphasis in English. I've had training in English language learning as well as academic, business and creative writing. I publish content on several online platforms, and I write freelance with an international web content firm. I studied for and passed the GED exam with a high score that earned me a full 60 hour college scholarship. I can help walk you through the process of getting your GED as well as getting a successful start in college, while balancing life.

I’m a mom to 7 kids, with 6 grandchildren and many creative hobbies. I like to research and write, and I enjoy being a student myself! I maintained a 4.0 college GPA, while also being enrolled at a university, where I maintained a 3.8 GPA. I was on both the President’s list and the Dean’s list and my work has been published in 2 college publications.

What's my specific intent for my students? It’s to empower them and instill in them a sense of pride, accomplishment and capability. One of the most essential things that a teacher can do is teach her students how to fish, rather than just giving them a fish. In this way, her students will always be able to accomplish and succeed on their own! If I had to explain what my teaching “specialty” is, I’d say that it’s meeting my students where they’re at and moving them forward in their understanding and skills. I firmly believe that no matter the level of comprehension or struggle, every student can move forward and learn. It’s my extreme privilege and honor to have the opportunity to teach others." less...
