Private tutor in Raleigh, NC
Education
I majored in English at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC and completed my Bachelor of Arts degree with a 3.5 GPA. I then began teaching in rural Eastern NC and headed the English Dept at both the middle school and high school level. My students excelled in End of Course tests, particularly in the writing component. I completed a Masters in Education degree in both English and Curriculum/Instruction at East Carolina University and also earned reading and gifted education certification. Upon completion of my two master's programs, I returned to my school district as Director of Curriculum, Testing, and Digital Learning.
