About Me

I am a graduate of Indiana University, Bloomington. I received my Bachelor's of Science Degree in Elementary Education in 2006. I am continuing my graduate degree in Special Education through Ball State University, and have completed 15 hours towards my Master's Degree. I have 10 years of classroom teaching experience at the elementary level, and experience working with children aged 5 to 15. I've also taken on many tutoring opportunities throughout my ten years of teaching, mostly centered around reading and math. It is my strong belief as an educator, as well as a stakeholder in the public school system, that every child can learn. It is my job to facilitate that learning and to help each child reach their optimum potential by differentiating my instruction and inspiring students to get excited about the content they are studying. I take education very seriously, as it a very valuable key that opens the door to so many opportunities later in life. I am here to create life-long learners. I am available to tutor Elementary level Reading, Writing, and Math. I am also able to help students prepare for standardized tests. When I am not working with my "kids" in the classroom, I am home with my own two children, 4 years and 8 weeks old. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, reading, traveling, and singing. I am so happy to be working with Varsity Tutors and I look forward to working with your family!

Q&A with Megan

All children can learn. The appropriate instructional match between educator and student is a vital step in that learning process. As educators, we are charged with finding the methods and strategies that work best for each individual child, so that all students can master the content and reach their optimum potential. Organization and study habits are a critical piece of the puzzle when trying to achieve success, both in the classroom and in other environments. I implore my students to take ownership over their learning, and to continue asking questions, long after the lesson or novel is over. One way this can be accomplished is through activating prior knowledge. Learning takes place each and every day through our experiences, and it's important not to disregard those experiences, but to bring them to the classroom or learning environment to be used as tools. Lastly, in order for mastery to be reached, both teacher and student must be held accountable, and understand that giving up is just not an option.
