Scribes And Scholars English Tutoring
About
The best part of teaching is watching students' make connections between the words they are reading and the life they are living. To work closely with young minds and watch them grow, discern, and create is the greatest privilege a teacher can have. Private tutoring has allowed me to give one-on-one attention and guidance to scholars to help them further their critical thinking, writing, and reading prowess in a way that traditional classroom teaching has not.
I have worked for five years as a teacher, with most of my experience being in Hamilton County, Tennessee. I have a current teaching license for English Language Arts 6-12. My positions have included work as a high school English teacher (9th, 10th, and 11th grade), a Guided Reading Specialist (6th, 7th, and 8th grade), a Creative Writing teacher (6th, 7th, and 8th grade), and an English teacher for middle grades. I have experience working with diverse populations and diverse needs, and I know a variety of strategies to unlock an individual's potential and modify material for their needs.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Watching my last 8th grade class at Orchard Knob Middle School work to succeed and be ready to graduate to high school brought me to tears. It was a pleasure working with them.
