I don't sugarcoat history but I truthfully tell it in an age-appropriate manner. I like my classes to be interactive, so there will be many opportunities to participate in class discussions. Each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Participation is encouraged but not required. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, American Figures, Racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being biased. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges, which heavily focused on Afro and African American studies.
