Bio

I have had the honor of earning 18 years experience teaching both middle and high school sciences in VA public schools. I basically have taught all secondary sciences grades 6 - 12 (Bio, Chem, Env Sci, Eco, A&P, Physical, Life, 6th grade Gen Sci). I also have been a Varsity and JV Head Football Coach as well as an assistant. I also have coached T&F, wrestling, and baseball. I also have served as a strength and conditioning coordinator.

I have had the honor of earning 18 years experience teaching both middle and high school sciences in VA public schools. I basically have taught all secondary sciences grades 6 - 12 (Bio, Chem, Env Sci, Eco, A&P, Physical, Life, 6th grade Gen Sci). I also have been a Varsity and JV Head Football Coach as well as an assistant. I also have coached T&F, wrestling, and baseball. I also have served as a strength and conditioning coordinator. I have two children and am currently working on a double masters degrees in Administration & Supervision as well as Biology Education.

What helps me stand out as a tutor is the fact that I have many years of experience teaching multiple subjects to multiple age groups. In VA all students must take an EOC SOL (Standardized test name in VA). Throughout the year I devote half my planning period or more to remediation for students who haven’t mastered various topics. At the end of the year I set aside numerous days for review with my classes doing what I call SOL Blitzes. I am very familiar with what topics students struggle with and have devised many “plans of attack” to assist students in those areas in fun, engaging, and effective lessons!!

I look forward to helping you become successful!!

Fitness

I have had the honor of participating as a football player in strength and conditioning for 5 years in HS and 5 in Div III college. I have served as a S&C Coordinator at the HS level for 18 years mainly for football but also designed plans for all athletes and sports as well as general fitness. During my tenure, I have participated in many work shops and clinics discussing various programs at other HS’s and colleges. As coaches we often share and borrow/steal various methods deemed successful at other programs. I also have maintained my own personal fitness program to meet my individual goals for over 25 years.

In HS, I was a two-time state champion in VA at Powell Valley HS as an I-form FB and Split 4 OLB/DB. Played Div III football at Emory & Henry College as an I-form fullback and ST participant (We always went a min of 8-2, made Div III playoffs 2x). My position speciality is the RB, but have knowledge of all positions in multiple formations and special teams. Coaching assignments include: Varsity HC, JV HC, Defensive Coordinator, Special Teams Coordinator, Offensive Run Game Coordinator
