Tutoring

I was an English teacher for 15 years and a private English tutor for 2 years. Whether your child needs remediation, maintenance, test prep, enrichment, or homework help, I am available to help them reach their goals.

While I am licensed in all subjects PreK-6 and English and social studies for 6-8 grade, I was an 8th grade English teacher in Virginia for 15 years. During that time, I also tutored hundreds of students in small group or one-on-one settings, providing tailored instruction to match their learning styles and abilities. I decided to take some time off from the classroom, but I soon realized how much I missed teaching the students. I have been tutoring online and substitute teaching ever since.

While I have taught only middle school, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college students. I have worked with students of all abilities, and regardless of their initial ability level, I am confident that I can challenge and teach them. Although I personally excel in all subject areas, I specialize in tutoring grammar, writing, vocabulary, study skills/organization, and test prep. I have a unique approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure, which makes it easy for everyone to follow.

I have had students of all abilities in the past 15 years and have an excellent pass rate on standardized tests.

I began taking college classes (University of Kentucky) when I was in the 8th grade. I understand what it takes to balance study with athletics and family responsibilities because I have done it. I strive to teach in ways that maximize our time together and prepare students for what lies ahead. Teaching is my passion, and it's what I excel at.
