I earned my undergraduate degree in **English from Auburn University**, with a concentration in **Creative Writing**, and later earned my **Master’s degree in English Education from Columbus State University**. I was also previously a certified teacher in the state of Georgia.
I have **more than 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience** working with students at both the high school and college levels. My experience includes traditional classroom instruction as well as small-group and one-on-one learning environments. Throughout my career, I have taught a variety of English courses, including composition, literature, writing, and developmental English.
My teaching philosophy is primarily **student-centered and discussion-based**. I believe students learn best when they are active participants in the learning process rather than simply receiving information. I use discussion, guided questioning, individualized instruction, and project-based learning to help students develop stronger reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills. When working one-on-one, I tailor instruction to the individual student's needs, learning style, strengths, and areas for growth.
My goal as an educator is not simply to help students complete an assignment or earn a better grade, but to help them understand the skills behind the work so they can become more confident and independent readers, writers, and thinkers.
