Teacher expertise and credentials
Tennessee Teaching Certificate in Special Education

I have taught for over 36 years, and have the confidence of teaching students at any age, especially elementary students. In special education, I continually taught students how to read and identify letters, letter sounds, and numbers. Secondly, I taught all four of my children from K-12th grade how to read, write and excel in all subject matter. For the past three years, I have taught students in English how to read as their second language and I find this exciting to hear them become very successful.
