I am a passionate educator with 16 years of teaching experience working with elementary students in both general education and small-group settings. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Specialist degree in Administration from the University of Mississippi. I am also National Board Certified and have extensive experience helping students build confidence and improve academic performance in math, reading, science, and test preparation.
Throughout my career, I have taught students in grades 3 through 5, including both general education and special education learners. My classroom experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of learning styles and ability levels. I specialize in making difficult concepts easier to understand by breaking skills into manageable steps and using engaging, hands-on strategies that keep students motivated and involved in the learning process. I believe every child can succeed when given encouragement, patience, and instruction tailored to their needs.
In addition to classroom teaching, I have experience mentoring student teachers, analyzing student performance data, and creating individualized learning plans to help students reach their goals. My tutoring approach focuses on building strong foundational skills while also increasing student confidence and independence. I strive to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and celebrating progress. Whether a student needs help catching up, preparing for a test, or gaining extra practice, I am committed to helping them succeed.
