I am a certified public high school teacher specializing in removing barriers to learning in order to provide equity for all learners. I have helped countless students being served by 504 or Special Education develop the executive functioning needed to be successful on their path to graduation. I help struggling learners develop practical study skills, social emotional learning (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision making) and executive functioning (time management, note-taking, organization, metacognition). Today's students also need assistance with engaging in online platforms in order to be successful in the digital classroom, and the development of college/career awareness as they plan for post-secondary transition. I earned a M. Ed in Curriculum and Instruction at UT where I focused on teaching counter narrative history, digital literacy, holistic approaches to student support, and 21st century student skills.
I have always known "Tuff Tiff" as a leader, a teacher, and a business owner. She does more with her flexible hours than I ever did with mine when I worked for myself, so I admire her discipline and strive to imitate her example that makes the most of every moment. The way Tiff teaches her son and his peers tells me what a fantastic tutor she will be: making historical and artistic and technological and social connections to every topic. Her knowledge is vast, and her manner is relational -- full of stories and wonder. She'll make anyone curious and thirsty to know more about pretty much any subject. Go, Tiff!
