Educator, Mother, Passionate Reader and Writer

My name is Ashley and I have a diverse professional and educational background to help your student achieve his or her goals. I have a B.A. in Psychology from The University of Kentucky and an Alt. MEd from Auburn University in Montgomery in Secondary English Education. I was a Training Manager for an international restaurant company before deciding to go back to school at 27 to become a teacher.

Since returning to school I've had my own children and my passion for helping students achieve their academic goals has only grown. I see my own child in the face of each of my students and desire to help them build confidence in their own academic ability. I utilize my professional background and education to provide a unique and tailored tutoring experience for each student.

My educational background is in Social Science and English. I've also helped students prepare for the English, Reading and Writing portions of the ACT. I use my experience in corporate training and sound educational practices to engage and challenge each student. Because I have gone through the teacher certification process and taught common core curriculum I can effectively supplement your student's school experience. My goal is always to increase understanding and/or improve grades.

As a teacher and tutor I especially like helping students through the writing process. I've taught high school students how to write their first persuasive essay and helped undergraduate students write final research papers. The writing process allows me to identify areas of weakness and build upon old and new skills as the student's paper comes to life. It's an exhilarating and rewarding experience to watch a student grow as a writer throughout the various stages of their work!
