Julie: East Orange tutor
Certified Tutor
I received my Bachelor of Science degree and Elementary School [K-8] certification from Eastern Michigan University in 1999. I earned a Master of Public Administration degree with a focus on Educational Leadership [K-12] from the University of Michigan in 2011. I'm certified to teach in Maryland, grades K-6 with an endorsement in reading. In Michigan, my certification is for grades K-8 with an endorsement in science.
During my 20+ years as an educator, I have been fortunate to serve in a variety of roles. I have been a teacher, academic/assistant principal, reading specialist, curriculum writer, education consultant, and a manager of curriculum at the government level.
My classes encourage a love of reading, writing and science. They are tailored to address individual student needs. I meet my students at their level and move them forward in an engaging, innovative and supportive manner.
I often use the socratic method of education which results in higher-level thinking skills, active student participation, and thoughtfulness.
My expectations for each child are high. Every child has unlimited potential and is capable of greatness!
I can't wait to see you in the classroom!

On a personal note, I love traveling and experiencing new places and cultures. I have traveled to several countries around the world. I have lived in abroad in three different countries, two in Central America and one across the Atlantic Ocean.
