I have a bachelor's degree at a four-year university. I graduated with honors. I hold a Psychology major and a Sociology minor which qualifies me to tutor ALL of the Social Studie's courses. I am currently a certified teacher who teaches U.S. History in high school. I have taught for 13 years. My scores for the U.S. History MAAP State Test averaged 85-90 percent proficient over a 7-year period of time before the test was dropped by the state department. I have taught 9-12th grades, but I also have tutored younger students. Most of my experience is in the classroom but have had one-on-one and small group settings within the school environment. Prior to my full-time teaching position, I worked as a certified long-term substitute. I am patient and flexible with my students.

My first year of teaching I received the award of NEW TEACHER OF THE YEAR. I have received since then TEACHER OF THE YEAR twice. Teaching for me is a passion and a calling. I put everything I have into the task at hand for the betterment of my students. I will carry this philosophy into my tutoring sessions.

I desire to widen my scope of assisting more students in this different platform setting as I work one on one with students. I am ready to venture out from the classroom and start working with you to reach your goals. Your success is my SUCCESS!

My students love to come to my class because it is always an adventure as they learn about the past. I will pass this mindset on into my tutoring sessions. As we learn about the past, it helps us to navigate and understand our future.

Prior to entering the educational world, I spend 20 years in business as an entrepreneur and a television advertising sales agent. I find having academia and business in my background propels me in being the best tutor for my students as I feed off of my past experiences. This allows me to have a well-rounded view of the information that we are studying and I delight myself in being able to pass this on and pay it forward.

Reading

Reading

Teaching at the high school level in Social Studies requires a teacher to work with students on their reading skills. Often times students come to us with deficits in the reading area. Before we are able to teach our subject, we have to bring them to a point of reading the material successfully. Students find that my encouragement and understanding of where they are and where they need to be are advantageous to bring them to the place of success in the social studies class. I would love to share these skills with you and bring you to the place of not only sharpening your skills but enjoying the journey of reading. Let's get started!

Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Are you ready to increase your vocabulary and become a more avid reader and conversationalist? I am able to help you with this! In the school system we teach vocabulary words of our subjects, and academic terms of the educational system. There must be more as we develop our vocabularies, we must grow our terminology not only in the classroom but outside of educational arena. We must open up our world and grow our knowledge of various words and terms to become more savvy in our interactions with people. One needs a full vocabulary to succeed in a world that is so competitive. Let's get you to the top of your game by increasing your vocabulary!
