Shelby: Santa Barbara tutor

Certified Tutor

ALL CHILDREN CAN LEARN, JUST NOT IN THE SAME WAY!

I am currently a special education teacher in Pensacola, FL. I have been teaching for five years ranging from elementary, middle school math, and special education. In 2018, I received a dual bachelors in elementary and special education from Western Governors University.

I have always had a passion for helping children grow and learn new or existing skills. Growing up, school was important to my family and that helped me see the value in a good education. In today's world, many students are not taught the importance of an education at home. So I strive to instill the value of education in all my students.

I started this journey when I was sixteen years old by giving children horseback riding lessons at my barn. Now I look back and see how much I have learned and grown as a teacher. I have attended professional learning conferences around the US about topics such as classroom management, enriching curriculum, IEPs and differentiating instruction, positive behavior support, and so much more.

I have also hosted tutoring at my elementary school for the last two years. I honestly have to say that math is my all time favorite subject to teach students.
