"Hi, I'm Naomi! I'm an Education major with a Commercial Music minor going into my second year at the University of North Texas Honors College. I graduated from Greenville Christian School in 2024 ranking 3rd in my class with a 4.3 GPA and started college with 32 dual credit hours. I earned the full-ride Terry Scholarship, which is given to students with strong academics and leadership skills.

I first got interested in teaching while babysitting a few years back, where I didn't want to just "watch" the child, but teach them as well. I found I had a natural way of connecting with children and making learning fun, and I taught the 3-year-old child basic reading and math, just as I was taught by my father when I was 3 years old. This led me to volunteer with elementary schools and children's museums through church, community programs, and the Terry Scholar Organization at UNT.

I understand that all students learn in their own way, and I adjust my teaching style to fit each student's needs. My teaching experience includes:

- Tutoring high school math in-person

- Working with Teach for America's Ignite Fellowship teaching 3rd grade reading and phonics

- Helping 3 students at once, 4 days a week, 45 minutes each day

- Creating lesson plans that are both effective and fun

I can help with any elementary or middle school subject! I'll be tutoring with Ignite again this fall, but I'm looking for more tutoring opportunities because I enjoy it and it gives me valuable experience for my future teaching career. I'm patient, enthusiastic, and organized, creating a learning space where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence.

I'm committed to helping students succeed, so please share any resources or ideas you have. I respond quickly and am easy to reach. Feel free to contact me with questions or to set up a lesson!" less...
