Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am teacher Tammy Sullivan Vaughn!
I have a Master's degree in Psychology with an education focus. I also have a license as a counselor (LPC) and TESOL 140 hour certification to teach English as a 2nd language.
I love learning and teaching. Interactive learning with a conversational style might best describe my teaching style. I have taught for the last 5 years in a public school environment, private tutoring and online teaching. I also have experience teaching at the university level.
My professional experience also includes having a private counseling practice, managing a very large behavioral health center, managing a large foster care agency and directing a large literacy (ESL and tutoring of youth) for the county where I currently live.
I hope you or your child enjoy my classes!Reviews
