Darcie

Certified Tutor

Hello future students and families !
My name is Teacher Darcie, and I can't wait to meet you! I have been a teacher for quite some time and hold a master's in reading as well as National Board as a reading interventionist, and I am both TESOL and TEFL certified. I strive to create a positive, nurturing, loving environment in which a strong bond develops between myself and the child. These two steps are critical in continuing to build a child's self-esteem which will eventually lead to risk-taking, critical thinking, and independence. I am enthusiastic, dedicated, positive, can "think outside the box", and teach to those "teachable moments." I am creative, patient, flexible, dependable, experienced, committed, and have a wealth of innovative ideas in my bag of "teacher tricks." Most of all, I am a teacher who loves her children . I will be here to guide your unique, special child in an engaging manner that matches your child's learning style, personality, and interests ! I am looking forward to meeting with you soon ! All my love and blessings, Teacher Darcie

Hobbies

It is teaching that is my passion. As a very young child, school intimidated me. I came from a poor family, therefore, both other children and even teachers ignored me or made fun of me. At a very young age, I knew that I would become a primary teacher so that NO other child would ever feel the fear, anxiety, and distrust that I did. I love decorating, gardening, writing poetry, baking, and of course, reading books!
