I am a graduate of Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a focus on psychology and counselling, and a Masters of Arts in Reading Intervention. Before graduation, I worked with the Webster University Literacy Corp tutoring children in underserved schools in literacy techniques for better comprehension, and adults looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL tutor). I have also worked as a Reading Specialist for Normandy School District for four years, and I spent previous years as a school teacher in Missouri's public and gifted schools. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. While teaching Elementary School curriculum, I helped struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, Benchmark Tests, and Teacher-produced Tests. I have seen remarkable advances in Reading, Math, and Science through prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, exercising, puzzles, song writing, authoring books, and preaching and teaching in my local church.
