Pamela
Certified Tutor
I received both a Master of Arts (English) and a Ph.D. (Textual Studies/Literature) from the University of Memphis, as well as a Bachelor of Arts (English) from Middle Tennessee State University. I have had the good fortune to teach at the University of Memphis, Florida A&M University, and Keiser University and one summer tutoring for Lindamood Bell. My investment in student success is a direct outgrowth of my convictions regarding equality and social justice; my undergraduate minor is in psychology and social work.
For almost eight years I taught literature and composition at a historically black college and those years were among the most rewarding of my career. I am most passionate about literature and composition, and I believe that to better serve our students, teachers must learn to better utilize technology in teaching those subjects. Some of the best times I have had in the classroom have been teaching poetry since it gives me a chance to engage with students through mediums they enjoy, music and images. My teaching style tends toward relaxed and conversational since I believe it is important for students to feel
like their teachers are human and approachable.
In my spare time, I am an avid nature photographer, a more than frequent reader, and a passable
bowler.
