Education and learning are so important, and I relish the opportunity to be able to assist young people in their journey, I was socially passed in early elementary school. For whatever reason, I had difficulty with reading. Fortunately, my 3rd grade teacher was really gifted and helped me finally learn to read. After that, reading and learning became enjoyable. Being able to help someone else enjoy reading and learning is exciting to me. If I am able to help someone the way I was helped, life will be wonderful!

These include Anatomy and Physiology, CPR, and Life Support. Training paramedics is something that I've found to be very rewarding.Outside of this technical field, I have taught ESL and a variety of other academic subjects.

I am a graduate of Appalachian State University in North Carolina. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Middle School Education and a Master's Degree in K-12 reading. I have 23 years of experience teaching in the public schools. Most of those years were as a Title I teacher and Literacy Specialist for small groups and one-on-one learning. I tutor a variety of subjects but am passionate about reading. I believe once someone learns to read well, then they can learn anything else and a world of possibilities opens up to them!
I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Secondary English Education. I am pursuing my MFA at New York University in Musical Theatre Writing. As an educator in the field of secondary English education for the past four years, I have learned that students first need a support system in order to achieve their own greatness. I hope to be at least a small part of that support system as well as a source of guidance for students who are in need.
I am a graduate from Appalachian State University with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and a concentration in science. I am also a Masters degree candidate in reading education with a certificate in teaching emergent bilinguals. I've been tutoring an emergent bilingual student for several months and I hope to continue more students of different backgrounds. While I am well prepared to tutor any subject, I am most passionate to teach math since I've always liked solving for word problems and working with numbers. In my spare of time I enjoy hiking, and spending time with my family. I enjoy helping students, especially those who struggle in a subject and want more guidance because this allows a more one on time with students in the areas they might be falling behind and it gives us an opportunity to guide and help that student achieve their goal.
I am an experienced educator with 28 years in public education, specializing in reading and literacy instruction. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Elementary Education (K-6) from Western Carolina University, with Reading certification (K-12), and a Master's degree in Reading Education from Appalachian State University. I am also certified in the Orton-Gillingham approach for teaching students with dyslexia. I have worked as a public school elementary teacher, Reading Specialist, Academic Facilitator, and Adult Literacy instructor at the community college level. I have tutored students of all ages and abilities, with a strong focus on reading development from phonemic awareness through comprehension. Helping struggling readers gain confidence and success is my greatest passion. I believe education is essential to improving quality of life, and I am committed to helping students reach their full potential.
I have a passion for helping students (children and adults) accomplish their goals with learning Spanish. I have several years of experience teaching all ages (as young as 1st grade through the corporate level). I enjoy learning the challenges that individuals face and helping them overcome those challenges, having gone through the same journey to Spanish fluency myself.
I am a public elementary school teacher from western North Carolina in the United States. I have been teaching for 7 years (1 year in 4th grade, 5 years in kindergarten, and 1 year in 2nd grade) and I absolutely love instilling the love of learning in my students! I particularly love teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, literacy skills, print awareness, cardinality, numeracy skills, subitizing, base ten, and place value. Teaching students how to read and fostering a beginning understanding of numbers and how they are used are areas I excel in teaching. Working with a vast amount of students from differing backgrounds and learning styles has helped me acquire multiple teaching methods and strategies. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2016 with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education with a concentration in English. I am planning to apply within the next few years to graduate school for a dual masters degree in library science and educational media.
I have about 3 years of experience tutoring college-level math. I work well with all ages, so I can tutor K-12 math topics like Arithmetic, Fractions, Functions, Algebra, Geometry; advanced high-school/college topics like Pre-Calculus, Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra; and some more advanced topics like Techniques of Proof, Differential Equations, Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, etc. In 2024, I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Mathematics. Whenever I tutor someone, I ask them what goal they have for the session, and I help them achieve it. I explain concepts clearly and thoroughly, and I do not mind going back and re-explaining something. I love learning math, and a great way to learn math is to teach it. I also love helping others, so tutoring is a perfect fit!
