Hello! My name is Dr. Bethany McClure. I attended Auburn University where I received my B.S. and M.Ed. in Elementary Education and my M.S. in Early Childhood Education. War Eagle! I received my EdS and PhD in Curriculum & Instruction: Early Childhood from Louisiana State University. Geaux Tigers! I have 15 years of experience in the education field. I have taught preschool (ages 3 and 4), Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade. My experience includes teaching gifted learners, as well as students who need remediation. I am also an experienced ESL teacher and a National Board Certified Teacher - Early Childhood Generalist. Currently, I work full-time as an Assistant Professor of Elementary Education and I enjoy mentoring preservice and first year teachers.

Teaching is my passion and I love working especially with young children. I believe that "Learning is a journey... not a race!" Learning should be fun and it should be based on student interest. I hope your child will find my sessions to be fun, engaging, and a meaningful stepping stone on their own journey through early childhood education. I am also available to work with college students to help with writing papers, studying for the PRAXIS exam (Elementary Education), and/or any other Elementary Education or Early Childhood assignments.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching Auburn Football and Basketball, as well as Atlanta Braves Baseball. I love spending time with my boyfriend, Will and I have two children - Sarah (12) and Sophie (9). I love running and am proud to have completed my first marathon, the St. Jude Memphis Marathon! I look forward to learning more about you and hope I can help with your learning needs. Hope to see you soon!
