"I am currently a Fifth Grade ELA teacher who has been teaching for 9 years now! I have experience teaching all subjects and have also taught 1st grade for 4 years and 4th grade for 4 years. I've previously won Teacher of the Year at my school. I love teaching reading, writing, math, science, and phonics. I can help you or your child learn to read or strengthen their educational abilities! I love to teach concepts creatively and love to create my own resources and curriculums.

I received my ESL add-on to my Masters degree through the University of Tennessee. As a classroom teacher, one fourth of my students are ESL students so I have learned many different strategies to help ESL students to be successful in their academic endeavors.

I have received training in various Phonics programs and curriculums including: EL Education, Orton Gillingham, 95 Percent, Firstie Phonics, and more.

I will also show up with a positive attitude and a smile! I look forward to getting to work with you or your child. Don't hesitate to reach out!" less...
