"I am a board certified teacher in Louisiana and Georgia with 25 years of experience. I'm proud to have achieved an AA of Teacher Education, Bachelor's in Early Childhood, 2 Masters degrees ( Early Childhood and Educational Leadership), and anEducational Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am Gifted Endorsed as well. I've spent the majority of my career working as an intervention teacher, providing remediation and enrichment instruction for students in K - 6th grade. That role led me to fall in love with the role of "coaching" and leading learners in their academic quest. I use the term coaching instead of tutoring because coaching is a term kids are more familiar with and it's more relatable to them. A coach is seen as an ally, a supporter, an encourager, and a valued resource, and that is what I feel my role is for all students I encounter. I find fun ways to engage and connect with my learners, while also tapping into the learning style of the student. To provide the best instruction, I continue to partake in professional development, stay current and proficient in trends in education, state standards and curriculum, as well as instructional practices. I'd love the chance to further discuss how I can "coach" your child to victorious wins of improved academic skills." less...
