Bio
📚 Hi, my name is Ms. Joy. I am excited to start this learning journey with you! ✏️As far as virtual teaching/tutoring goes: When it comes to making virtual learning fun & engaging, I like to get to know my students!! Their interests are important, & it helps keep them motivated & excited to learn. I also make sure to incorporate interactive elements into my lessons whenever possible, making learning enjoyable & effective. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, dogs, being outdoors, & listening to music. These interests influence my teaching style & methodology, helping to keep my lessons interactive & fun!🤩
Teacher Specialization
🍎Here’s some background on me: I have been teaching for 19 years, & have had the privilege of working with a wide range of learners, from PreK-12th graders-adult learners. As well as working in special education as an assistant for a few years, prior to being a classroom teacher, I was also a children’s librarian. My specialty areas include ELA//Writing, Technology, and Reading Intervention. I have taught in-person in Tennessee, and have also taught online in Delaware, Massachusetts, & Tennessee. I hold a 402 K-8 Professional Teaching degree, as well as, a Masters in Education for Curriculum & Instruction. I am passionate about education, & am always looking for new & effective teaching strategies to help my learners succeed. In addition, I utilize scaffolding, modeling, remediation & enrichment opportunities to ensure that online learning is effective for all of diverse learning styles.
