Summary

Dynamic educator with extensive experience at CPSB, excelling in curriculum development and classroom management. Proven ability to foster positive relationships and enhance student engagement through effective communication and behavioral intervention strategies. Recognized for mentoring young athletes and leading collaborative projects that drive academic success and team performance. I received custody of my son in 2007 and raised him as a single father. As I coached my son's basketball and football teams, I saw that most athletes were struggling in English and math, so I created my tutoring program called Athletes with Brains Tutoring, where we specialize in tutoring only athletes to create better student-athletes. I hire students with a 3.5 to 4.0 GPA. To come in as a tutor for the students.
