TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Initially, the founder worked in a Title I tutoring program with at-risk youth, especially those with academic struggles. Since January 2020, she has focused primarily on semester-long ELA and summer reading programs for students in 6th to 8th grades.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Through teaching excellent fiction and nonfiction, students can build character traits including empathy, compassion, and tolerance. Therefore, most classes are heavily centered on guided discussions. Classes also build technical and creative writing skills, and knowledge of grammar, usage, and mechanics.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

When teaching on Outschool, the founder received a 98% satisfaction rating with 184 reviews. She has also received praise from parents and colleagues.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

The founder earned her B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies with a dual concentration in Early Childhood Education and Children and Families. She was in the top 5% of her graduating class. In 2020, she earned a graduate diploma in Applied Neuroscience, earning a 3.9 GPA.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
