About Me

I attended Tennessee State University, Florida A&M University, University of Memphis (BLS) and Christian Brothers University (MAT and MSEL). I started as a teacher in the Memphis City Schools (now Shelby county Schools) and have taught math for 12 years. What do I tutor? Math, of course! I have tutored math for my classes (6th through 12 grade), ACT tutoring for the WIN Program of the local YWCA, and have been the coach of our schools MathCounts team for three years. I like to tutor high school subjects better because that is where I was challenged in school and overcoming those challenges means the most to high school students. I also have experience with tutoring English. My philosophy of education starts with making students comfortable, then confident. Students learn best by being exposed to theory, instructional models, and hands on experiences. Students should also have high expectations of themselves, or at least decide how they want to live their lives. Outside of math, I sing with my church choir and play the piano and organ. I am a recommended black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and I hope to become a decided black belt soon. I try to sandwich in a little TV and reading when I'm not involved in those activities.
