Hello! My name is TeKalyn J., and I bring over four years of teaching experience to my role as a tutor, specializing in English Language Arts (ELA), writing skills, phonics, and standardized test preparation including ACT and SAT English sections. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Mercer University, holding a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in education and a Master of Arts in Teaching in Secondary Education. My academic background, paired with my classroom experience, has equipped me with the tools and strategies needed to support a wide range of learners in developing stronger literacy and communication skills.
In my current role as a classroom teacher, I have had the privilege of supporting students beyond the standard school day by offering after school tutoring sessions. These personalized sessions have allowed me to reinforce classroom instruction, address individual learning gaps, and build student confidence. I believe in creating engaging and responsive learning environments, whether in a classroom or one on one setting, and I work hard to meet students where they are academically while challenging them to grow.
Tutoring is an extension of my passion for education and student success. I am especially driven to reach students outside of my classroom, those who may need extra support, enrichment opportunities, or targeted preparation for important assessments. Whether it is mastering reading comprehension, strengthening essay writing, building foundational phonics skills, or preparing for college entrance exams, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my students. I look forward to partnering with families and learners to help them achieve their academic goals and grow into confident, capable readers and writers.
