Hello hello! You've come to the right place! I love teaching! I have worked with children my entire life, from babysitting to being a camp counselor, to becoming a certified teacher. I have over 24 years of educating students ranging from Kindergarten to adults, in reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, college test prep, etc! I am certified in K-12 English, K-8 General Education, and trained in Orton-Gillingham. I also have much experience tutoring high school and college students with literature and writing, as well as mentoring prospective teachers for many different PRAXIS exams. I have two children of my own, so my teaching style is a mix of nurturing and fun!

Teaching/tutoring English is my specialty. I am familiar with a range of books and genres and have been teaching essay writing for 23 years. I am an expert in grammar/linguistics and improving vocabulary as well. I also have many years teaching/tutoring literary analysis to middle school- through college students, and middle school special ed/ ESL children as well.

Please consider contacting me to schedule a tutoring session. I am a friendly, easy-going, knowledgeable teacher who will always give an honest evaluation. You will not be disappointed!!

Experienced and patient tutor

Sherry is a fantastic tutor. She helped me pass the praxis writing core which I struggled to pass on my own. She is great at identifying weaknesses during lessons and will provide you with extra material for practice. I will continue to use Sherry's services to help me with other exams.

Couldn’t pass until Sherry helped me

I struggled with the Praxis Writing test until I met Sherry, whose exceptional teaching turned my weakness into strength, especially in grammar. Her engaging methods and support not only led me to pass the test but also made me enjoy learning. Highly recommend her transformative guidance.

Wealth of information

I learned so much from Sherry! Honestly, I feel I learned more from her in a handful of lessons than I learned in a whole semester from my college course that was suppose to help me pass my praxis 5205. Sherry is so knowledgeable, kind, and well prepared every session to help me meet my goals to take this test again. I have taken it twice, failing by 9 points and 4 points. With all the information she has gone over and the work she has given me to do outside of the sessions, I feel very well prepared to pass the test next week. Wish I would have found her sooner!

Would Highly Recommend!

I was a student struggling to pass the Teaching Reading-Praxis 5205- Sherry shared a wealth of resources, pointers, and practice strategies to help with this exam. I was even in a time-crunch and she was very accommodating. After having tutoring sessions with her, I felt more prepared than ever before, and passed my exam! All thanks to Sherry! I officially have my teaching license! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Knowledgeable, positive attitude

Ms Sherry is awesome teacher. I am taking praxis 5001 classes from her. She makes the tough topic easy and teaches in a jammer that it sets in your brain. She gives you notes which are highly helpful. She gives you quiz as well so that you get confident that you have grasped the topic. I would highly highly recommend Ms Sherry as tutor.

Praxis writing

She provided excellent coaching and ideas on how to focus on testing. She went through many types of questions and gave examples on what to look for. I am looking forward to our next session.

Great teacher and communicator

Sherry allows me to leverage my process/logic for a multitude of concepts in real time responses and after submitting a response. This allows me to confirm whether I’m on the right track or need to backtrack. She is an excellent communicator and is supportive from start to finish in our discussions.

Great Tutor

Sherry explained the components of a good essay. She took the time to fix the essay with my son and showed him how a strong essay should look.

Caring and loving tutor

Sherry helped me pass my writing praxis after taking it 4 times previous. Not only did I pass, she helped me increase my score by 7 points. Sherry is the most caring tutor I’ve ever had, she created a session that was specifically for me while asking my opinion what I thought was needed. Normally study sessions aren’t exciting, but she made them fun!! She’s such a sweet caring tutor and I couldn’t recommend her more!!!
