As an enthusiastic educator with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Northwest Missouri State University, I have over three years of tutoring experience and more than 18 years of classroom teaching. My expertise spans literacy, English grammar, literature, and High School Writing. I take pride in building strong relationships with my students. I believe that understanding each student's unique challenges is crucial for their success, and my teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive environment that encourages open communication. I utilize direct feedback, engaging activities, and tailored lesson plans to ensure that every student feels confident in their abilities. My passion for literature and writing drives me to help struggling learners not only catch up but also to develop a deeper appreciation for the subjects. I am dedicated to making a meaningful impact on each student's learning journey.
