Bachelors, English Rhodes College

I have elementary and middle certifications, as well as certifications to teach history and English at the high school level.

About Me

After graduating college in 2013 with an honors degree in English, I joined Teach for America in Memphis where I taught in public schools for two years. I have also undergone numerous trainings in teaching both common core math and Language arts. Passionate about educating kids, I understand the individuality of every child and structure sessions based on skill level and personal interest. Students leave tutoring sessions with renewed confidence and heightened engagement in their subject matter. My greatest strength as a teacher is being able to recognize prior knowledge, and then individualize my instruction to grow the child without any gaps in understanding.

Q&A with Juan

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that all kids have the capacity to learn at high levels. It is the teacher that must recognize their current level and then differentiate instruction to help the child grow. Through individualized instruction, a teacher can instill a passion for learning that leads to academic success.
