Greetings!I tutor a variety of subjects, but I specialize in helping students with mathematics and economics. I have experience tutoring a wide variety of students, including students of all ages and even those with learning disabilities. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Economics from Spelman College, and even wrote a Thesis. I am currently earning my Master's of Business Administration Degree in Marketing and Management at Howard University.When students are not interested or bored, I think that they just lack the proper motivation and a way to integrate creativity into tutoring methods. I strive to help students pursue their studies with excellence and except nothing less. I believe that talent can be cultivated and is not simply something a person must be born with. When not tutoring, I enjoy dancing, volunteering with my church, going out with friends, kickboxing, travelling, and trying a new activity.

As a proud Spelman College graduate, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, complemented by a minor in Spanish.

I have a Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center.I fell in love with reading when I was two years old; more than two decades later, books continue to be my greatest passion and purest joy.My goal as a tutor is to be the bridge between my students Nd their learning/academic goals.I designed my own LSAT curriculum from a diverse body of prep materials, that I continuously update and improve/adjust based on my actual students' responses and feedback during our sessions. Ultimately, I want to be a facial for; to foster and sustain a collaborative educational environment that provides each and every student with the knowledge, confidence, and motivation to become a self-directed, self-regulated learner.

This is my 20th year teaching. I have a B.A. in Child Development from Spelman College and a M.A in Educational Leadership from Central Michigan University.

I bring my love of reading and traveling into the classroom and so we can learn so many new things. I can't wait to meet you and your child!
You can learn so much about a person by examining what he or she reads. My favorite book is entitled, "Mindset" by Carol S. Dweck and it is unequivocally phenomenal. In order to provide you with a brief synopsis, I will simply say that it addresses two different mindsets, one is a "fixed" mindset and the other is a "growth" mindset. As a tutor, I am a firm believer in the "growth" mindset because I know that a person can increase their achievement, in virtually any arena, if he or she decides to put more effort towards growth in that particular arena. As a tutor, I will encourage each and every student to carefully examine what he or she thinks and says in regards to his or her ability in that area. I will share stories of people who are famous for their accomplishments, not because they are exceptionally gifted, but because they chose to invest the time to work towards growth and excellence. That, I believe, makes success attainable for everyone.
I am a graduate of Spelman College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a minor in Public Health. Since graduation, I've worked as both an after-school tutor and an in-classroom teacher, working with students in grades 6-12. While I tutor many different STEM-based subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics. In my experience, math tends to be a subject that many students shy away from, and as an educator, my goal is to develop an appreciation for the subject by creating diverse learning tactics to ensure that all students are progressing. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, gardening, and spending time with my two cats.
As a Spelman College graduate earning a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology, I have extensive knowledge in STEM areas. As a student at Spelman College, I had the opportunity to serve as a reading guide for students needing assistance with reading comprehension in the Metro-Atlanta.
I recently graduated with a Masters of Science Degree in Neuroscience from Tulane University and I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Spelman College in Biochemistry. I tutored several math and science classes while attending undergrad and worked as a Chemistry Teaching Assistant. While in graduate school, in addition to being a research assistant, I was a teaching assistant for three years in several science course (including neuroscience, biochemistry, and psychology). I specialize in tutoring math courses leading up to Calculus II and many biological science courses. I believe every student can learn complex material, just sometimes needs it explained and broken down in a different way that meets the students need of understanding, which is where I come in to help. I oftentimes think differently due to having a scientific background. Therefore I have had to formulate different ways of viewing similar material which has equipped me with the ability to teach the same material in multiple ways with several teaching styles that is geared towards those I tutor.
