Bio

Here to help!

I was a teacher for over 16 years and specialized in Cross Categorical Special Education, History, GED, HSED, Basic Skills, Reading, Political Science, Social Studies, and Geography. I worked with a group of young women who were often victims of trauma and were many years behind their same-aged peers. I loved seeing growth and improvement in my students.

Here to help!

I was a teacher for over 16 years and specialized in Cross Categorical Special Education, History, GED, HSED, Basic Skills, Reading, Political Science, Social Studies, and Geography. I worked with a group of young women who were often victims of trauma and were many years behind their same-aged peers. I loved seeing growth and improvement in my students. I worked with girls who read far below grade level and was able to help them succeed in getting their HSED or high school diploma.

One of my strengths as a teacher is the ability to develop positive relationships with my students and help them become motivated to achieve academic success. I believe in working with students as individuals and challenging them to go as far as they are capable. Many times this involves more than tutoring. Lending an ear, hearing out problems and challenges are all parts of helping a student succeed.

I believe in open communication and flexibility.

I am able to tutor in math up to Algebra I. I have very strong basic math skills, understand Common Core math, and am able to not only teach the mechanics of how something is solved, but why it is that way as well.

I have a personal love of history and politics and over 40 college credits in history and political science. I just helped my son work through AP US History. He scored a 4 on the exam.

In tutoring history, discussions will take place to gain understanding, I have a variety of supplemental materials, a knowledge of a huge grade level span of materials, and a way to make it interesting because I love it and understand that not everyone does.

I also have great English, Reading, and Grammar skills. I think that comes from all of the papers I wrote when studying Social Sciences and History! I am effective in helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the ACT in the areas of English and Reading.

I currently am a trainer for the Department of Corrections. Not only do I train, but I also train others to become trainers. This is helpi

Career Development

Career Development

When I was teaching one of my responsibilities was working with a caseload of students in developing their "Career Portfolio." We worked on resume building, career exploration based on interest and skill levels, interviewing skills, researching the education or qualifications needed for the desired career, soft skills, and then building academic skills to be able to obtain their career goals. That portfolio also contained examples of exemplary work that was created by the student.

I have worked for the Department of Corrections for over 22 years. First, I was a teacher in a juvenile correctional facility where I also taught criminal justice and political science.

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am a trainer for the Department of Corrections and one of the subjects that I train is getting folks prepared to give effective presentations. This, of course, utilizes, effective public speaking skills. I have been doing this training for 5 years now and it always gets high evaluations and praise. I have had the privilege of seeing some of my students then take what they learned from me and deliver excellent presentations. Part of the training includes practice and videotaping to analyze one's performance. After the analysis, skills are taught to work on any deficits and more practice takes place. It is one of my favorite training.

The Amazing Tracie R.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tracie tutoring my son Corey for his Civic Literacy Test so that he can graduate college. She has been knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and breaking down the complexities of American Governement and its history into bite-size rememorable morsels so he can remember them. I highly recommend Tracie R.

We just had our first spelling bee lesson, and it was fantastic! Tracie is very relatable, easy to work with, and made the session enjoyable for my son. He also mentioned how smart and engaging she is, which is high praise coming from him! We’re looking forward to more lessons.
