My concentration is in Middle School Education with a K-6 licensure and endorsements in Social Studies and English. I am passionate about improving ESL and EFL education. During my time as a Graduate Research Assistant, I contributed to the development of a "Teaching with Primary Sources" professional development course, and I have co-published and co-presented a lesson plan and article with Mississippi History now. My notable recognitions include winning 1st place at the Graduate Student Research Symposium as well as becoming a Fulbright semi-finalist.

English classes overview
My tutoring sessions incorporates a dynamic ESL teaching methodology that prioritizes engagement, integrating communicative approaches prompting cultural awareness. I first assess my students' needs to tailor engaging and interactive lessons accordingly. These lessons will promote differentiated instruction that supports diverse learners and ongoing assessment to provide feedback for improvement. I will strive to incorporate task-based learning techniques, so students can practice real-life language skills while also integrating reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This learner-centered approach fosters collaboration and autonomy. Regular reflection ensures teaching efficacy. Ultimately, my English lessons will not only cultivate language proficiency but also promote cross-cultural understanding and confidence in communication!

Epps has been an incredible support system for me. Whenever I had some trouble, I would always seek her help and she is always so ready to help anyone who needs her. She really is able to break down complex writings into simpler easy terms but still helps you in increasing your vocabulary by teaching you new words everyday. Anybody looking for English tutoring should sign up with her classes!
