Certified Tutor

As a dedicated educator with over five years of classroom experience, I am passionate about helping students grasp complex concepts in subjects like science and social studies. I hold a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from Tennessee State University and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Vanderbilt University. My teaching philosophy centers on tailoring lessons to meet individual needs, utilizing various methods such as hands-on activities and visual aids to enhance comprehension. I thrive in a middle school environment, where I can engage students through inquiry and exploration. I find immense joy in connecting historical events to present-day scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy tinkering with science projects and woodworking, which enriches my ability to make learning engaging and relevant.
