About Sherri

Bio

My experience with teaching & tutoring started in 1972. Teaching 5th grade was my first assignment & then I pursued my degree in deaf education and taught deaf students and Sign Language for many years. I can also help adults who are preparing for state tests.
Music can also be incorporated into my lessons. I can teach UKULELE and have also incorporated my music skills into my lessons using my guitar and banjo. (I am not able to teach guitar and banjo).

My experience with teaching & tutoring started in 1972. Teaching 5th grade was my first assignment & then I pursued my degree in deaf education and taught deaf students and Sign Language for many years. I can also help adults who are preparing for state tests.
Music can also be incorporated into my lessons. I can teach UKULELE and have also incorporated my music skills into my lessons using my guitar and banjo. (I am not able to teach guitar and banjo).
My teaching techniques are creative, flexible and include personal attention to detail. I LOVE teaching and will assess each student and then proceed with an INDIVIDUALIZED lesson planner. The INDIVIDUALIZED lesson planners have proven to assist students in passing tests. I have been successful teaching/tutoring preschool children all the way to adults. (There's no limits on the ages of my students).
Lastly, I am a licensed LPN. I received my license while in the US Army Reserves. This enables me to offer help with the TEAS, HESI A2 and ASVAB. Presently, I am doing online teaching with an emphasis on all three tests. I have focused my last 10 years on preparing students for the TEAS, HESI A2 and ASVAB.
I'm looking forward to "meeting" you online or in-person. Thank you for reading my free response.

Such a passionate tutor

Sherri made me feel like I was in safe learning environment. She made it easy for me to grasp the concepts of what we were going over and made sure I was comfortable with the pace we were going in. I really appreciate the passion she puts into teaching and admire the way she uplifts me when I have accomplished something. It helps me feel reassured and on the right track. She is the nicest, most understanding person ever. Even just after one session with her I felt comfortable with her as if I have been working with her for a long time. You really wont find better than her. Sherri will really attend to your needs and even give you resources to really make sure you have all you need to study and understand the material. She pays a lot of attention to what YOU need and gives you exactly that plus more. 10/10 !!!!!!

Excellent tutor, very knowledgeable.

Sherri is an excellent tutor, I take my teas test next week and just with two days of tutoring I already felt I learned so much! She is so patient and doesn’t make you feel like you are dumb but rather helps you look at it in a different perspective which makes me feel confident to take my test next week. Anyone who is anyone should book Sherri because she has years of personal experience and knowledge that will help you pass any exam or class.
