Greetings & Salutations,
I have been teaching English Language Arts in a Middle School setting for the past 4 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a focus on Special Needs Students. Currently, I am certified to teach grades K-8. With a plethora of teaching strategies, I have been able to assist and teach my students the necessary skills they need to be successful.

For several years during my academic studies to become a teacher, I volunteered for the America Reads Program which enabled me to do colorful and innovative read aloud to inspire and demonstrate what good reading sounds like. It was during this time that I was inspired to join the volunteer team at the Greater Columbia Literacy Council to assist young adults and grown-ups to prepare for their GED exams.

Over the years I have tutored with several tutoring organizations and I am confident that I can assist any child that is having trouble in the areas of reading, comprehension, and writing skills.

It is to this end that I have dedicated myself to the teaching profession using my knowledge and caring personality to assist, mentor, tutor, and educate not only children, but also adults to develop a “can do” attitude towards themselves, their goals, and their schoolwork.

American History

I have experience teaching 4th, 5th and 6th grade Social Studies.

Vocabulary

Learning new words and their meaning are essential to becoming a good reader.

Grammar

I can help your child improve reading, writing and comprehension skills by learning and using proper grammar.

Reading

Teaching reading skills and strategies are my specialty. If you or your child are having difficulty understanding what you read, I can help.

Writing

I have experience in writing thesis papers for degrees, and am familiar with most required writing styles. I teach K-College.

Spelling

Phonological awareness is critical for learning to read any alphabetic writing system. Did you know that research shows that difficulty with phonics and homological skills is an indicator of poor reading and spelling development?

I have a Master's Degree in Elementary Education, and a teaching certificate on file with the S.C Dept of Education, valid until 07/2015.

Study Skills

Study skills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning. They are generally critical to success in school. Study skills are essential for acquiring good grades, and are useful for learning throughout one's life.

There are several methods of study skills, which can tackle the process of organising and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with test and exams. There is memorization, which helps with the retention of lists of information such as spelling... Read More

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows is a blend of microcomputer and software such as Microsoft Word, Publisher, Excel, Notepad, etc. It is used to create documents, spreadsheets, publishing creative works, note taking, and has a plethora of other uses.

I have been using Microsoft Windows for the past 20 years in both teaching and the business office setting. I have become proficient in using each upgrade of this software and as an educator I have created lesson plans requiring the use of Microsoft software... Read More

Social Studies

Social Studies is a subject in elementary school that often gets pushed off the schedule when there's not enough time in the school day. But it is an important and interesting subject. Social Studies lessons can teach students how to use a map, to read critically, to learn from historical events and to understand the country they live in. Social Studies can be taught in combination with other subjects or by itself.


Microsoft Publisher

Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is an entry-level application, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing. This software is used mostly to create flyers, informational brochures, business cards and creative cards for everyday events. The current application being used is Microsoft Publisher 2000.

I have been using Microsoft Publisher since its inception. I... Read More
