Hello Parents and Students, I'm a certified teacher and experienced tutor hoping to help you or your student meet and exceed academic goals. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Economics and a Master's degree in Language & Literacy Education from Texas Tech University in 2004 and 2007. I have eight years of experience in education, including six years as a classroom teacher, grades k-7, plus experience in private tutoring at all levels and subjects.

I have six years of experience in the public school system and 1 1/2 years in the private school system teaching and tutoring children/young adults with diagnosed ADD/ADHD. In working closely with parents/administrators and co-teachers to implement and carry out modifications and accommodations to instruction, we were able to greatly increase success factors for these learners. Examples of modifications and accommodations I use include checking with the student from time to time for understanding, increased one-on-one instructional time (or small group), providing multiple approaches to instruction (i.e. manipulatives, the use of technology in lessons, learn and teach a lesson to small group or class), eliminating distractions and external noises, and removing one answer choice for multiple choice response. Finally, touching on areas of high interest to the student tends to increase motivation and success with school work/learning.

Courtney has been tutoring our 5 year old with reading and we have seen an amazing improvement! Courtney is patient and has a great ability for keeping our daughter focused. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to give that little extra help.

We love having her on my child's education team. She is always on time, very patient, and knows how to get the best out of my son. Thank you.

Courtney has been working with my son preparing for the ACT test for about 3 months. She has really helped him with strategies, timing and content. I recommend Courtney for college testing preparation. She's great!

Courtney was wonderful teaching Spanish to my 3 year old. She was very patient and energetic. She brought games and songs for them to play and always made learning fun. Although she is not a native speaker, she worked very hard at making sure she was teaching our child correctly. She even reviewed her lessons with me the day before to make sure I agreed with everything she would be covering the next day. We will miss seeing her smile every week. I highly recommend her to all families of little ones.

I was so worried about my nine-year-old son coming to a new town in a new school. He was a little bit behind as the school year started so I went looking for a tutor. I found Courtney and then a new concern arrived… How my son wouldn't respond to having a tutor. He came out of the first lesson got in the car and said "that was so much fun…! Do I get to go again? " that is all I needed to hear. ????

She is giving my daughter the foundation to learn the math she needs to know. She helps Michaella understand the "how" and the rest seems to be coming easy. We both are crazy about Courtney, she has great knowledge to go along with her great personality.
