Equipped with more than 7 years of experience working with children, combined with a bachelor's degree (B.A.) in psychology, from Wake Forest University, and masters of education (M.Ed.) and education specialist (Ed.S.) degree in school psychology, from University of Cincinnati, I have a strong foundation in effective learning and motivation strategies.
For the past year, I have provided high-quality private tutoring services for students in the Cincinnati area. In June, my husband and I moved to Atlanta for his job at CHOA-Egleston. Currently, I provide tutoring for families in the Virginia-Highland, Candler Park, and Downtown Atlanta communities. I am excited to continue building relationships with families throughout the Atlanta area, in order to help more students become successful and confident learners. Read more
