Certified Teacher, 1-5th, Special Ed. endorsement, ESL, Editing.

I am certified to teach k-5th grade. I retired from classroom teaching and currently tutor.
I home schooled my daughters over a 12 year span and then decided to complete my teaching certification with an endorsement in special education through University of Mississippi's TMI program. I hold a level 2 teaching certification in grades 1-5 for the state of Louisiana. I taught first grade at a local private school. For the past two years I have worked as an elementary school tutor at this school. I have certification in ESL. One of my children was learning delayed, which is why my interest in special education developed. My eldest daughter graduated from Belhaven University in 2010, and the middle daughter graduated in 2014. Both daughters graduated at age 20 with a GPA of 3.7-3.9. This to example how I value the importance of education.

If given the opportunity to tutor your child, I commit to invest the time and energy I gave to my daughters and to the students I teach in my classroom. I feel each person can improve their performance with the right guidance and tools. I believe it is invaluable to study daily and to practice new skills in order to master them. Repetition, oral reading and "teaching the teacher" are tools which enhance learning.

I enjoy editing documents and currently work with an international adult on articles she publishes in a professional magazine. I have worked with a local author editing stories. I meet students in public libraries, at school or on line.

Each person can learn and it is a rewarding experience to see their progress.
