About Me

I vividly remember the stress and strain I experienced while preparing for the ACT and SAT respectively. I had a tutor - but I never felt comfortable asking questions or informing him that I did not understand. My mission since becoming an educator has always been to provide students with a safe space to express their challenges and academic shortcomings with the assurance that they would not be judged. Furthermore, I wanted them to know that we would work to find a viable solution to the challenge before us. This mission has proved be quite successful. I have worked with students in grades K-12 on writing, reading, and occasionally math instruction. Far more often than not, the outcome has been successful. It has been successful because I worked to create an atmosphere of complete transparency, and I learned to pay careful attention to each of my students. Therefore, I could identify academic challenges or misunderstanding that in some cases they were not aware of themselves. Creating an open space that leads to transformative work is my special gift. I would be honored to share it with students through this platform.

Q&A with Terrence

Every student can learn. Every student can excel beyond their wildest belief. They can do this when they believe in themselves and have a teacher and community that believes in and supports them. How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in? I set smart goals. I meet with the student and we talk about our goal for the week. (i.e., 1st Grader: By the end of the week, I will know 2 additional sight words.) When students know what is expected of them and when, they rise to the challenge.
