"Hi there! I'm Demi, and I'm excited to embark on this educational journey with you. With a Bachelor's in Sociology from Virginia State University and a Master's in Education from Colorado State University, I've gained a solid foundation in understanding both the social aspects of learning and the effective teaching strategies that make a difference. For over six years as a classroom instructional assistant, I've had the privilege of guiding K-5 students through subjects like reading, writing, math, and science. My passion lies in providing personalized support, whether it's one-on-one attention or fostering collaboration in small groups, ensuring every student feels valued and capable of achieving their goals.

Outside the classroom, I've dedicated myself to tutoring K-8 students, tailoring lesson plans to meet their unique learning needs. This includes adapting approaches for various learning styles and supporting students on the autism spectrum. My ultimate aim is to inspire a love for learning and create an environment where each student feels encouraged to explore their full potential. I believe in celebrating every milestone and fostering a sense of accomplishment in each student's educational journey.

Accessibility and communication are fundamental to my teaching philosophy. I strive to maintain an open and supportive dialogue with both students and parents, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued. I'm committed to providing timely feedback and support, understanding that each student's progress is unique and deserves personalized attention. Together, let's make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience where curiosity thrives and success is within reach for every student." less...
