About Me

I am honored to have the opportunity to help young students expand their minds. I have a Bachelors Degree in English writing from Limestone College in Gaffney, SC, where I also played four years of NCAA Division 2 Men's Indoor Volleyball. Despite spending my college years there, I was born and raised in the town of Longwood in the lovely state of Florida. I spent the 2014-2015 school year teaching English 3 at Oak Ridge High School. I am an extremely effective overall English teacher, and am also able to offer a great deal in SAT/ACT preparation. Being a former student-athlete, as well as continuing my passion for playing, I understand the unique struggles that may cause, and am more than willing to give advise on how to effectively balance school and sports. I am not jut interested in teaching young students how to pass tests, but rather how to actually learn, expand the mind, and think critically for themselves. It is my personal goal not just to help you achieve the grade or mark goals that you want, but also to help create bright young adults.

Q&A with Charles

My philosophy is to guide through new materials, allow the student to attempt it, then help where need be. I do not simply give answers, but help students understand how to work through a problem to find the right answer. How can you help a student become an independent learner? Instead of simply giving them answers or providing "blocked learning," allow them to freely think and work through problems in their own way, while ensuring that it draws the same conclusions. This way, they understand the content better and are more inclined to push to learn on their own. How would you help a student stay motivated?
