As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education from East Carolina University, I have over 30 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom settings. I specialize in Reading Intervention, Elementary School English, spelling, and Phonics, and am certified to teach in North Carolina. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to explore and engage with the material. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their academic goals, and I take pride in tailoring my approach to meet individual needs. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources to enhance my teaching methods.
