Hello!

Hello! My name is Chandra. I am natural-born American. I live in the mountains in the southeastern part of the US. I graduated from University in 1995 with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I have a current teaching certificate. I taught in a formal school for 7 years in math and English. I am currently homeschooling as well as teaching English online. So in all, I have been teaching over 25 years. I love to help people improve their pronunciation, comprehension, and overall usage of the English language. I am married and have five children, one with disabilities. Our daughter got married April of 2024, so we have a son-in-law! AND she had a baby in December 2025 - a premature baby, so we are Grandparents!!! I live on a small farm. I enjoy exercising. learning about healthy living, reading, taking pictures, watching movies, and scrapbooking. Recently, I did it! I completed my Master's degree!! I now have an MA in TESOL!! And one more thing...my daughter and I have written and are in the process of publishing our first book! I hope these added experience help me be a better tutor for YOU! I am looking forward to seeing you and chatting about interesting topics! Take care!!

I live in South Carolina which is in the southeastern part of the United States. I live on a farm with my husband and five children. One of them is married. Three of them have graduated high school. They are all working and enjoying being young adults. The animals we have are ducks, chickens, and honey bees as well as a big garden! We also have an Australian Shepherd and three hunting dogs. I love to read and watch movies as well as be outside and take walks or hikes. Being a teacher has been a big part of my life, too. I enjoy it because I can learn about others and help them. I also love teaching because I like imparting my knowledge or experience to another person. I also like being able to help others achieve their goals. I hope to be able to help students in their journey.

Specialties

Teaching Style

I am a very relaxed and patient teacher. I have also had students say that I was fun. I enjoy learning about my students and their interests. I want to fashion conversation around those interests unless the student asks about my thoughts or information. I love interaction and talking! I am good with looking up pictures and information quickly, so if we have a topic that I'm unfamiliar with, I can look it up. I am also gentle with correction. I want to make sure that I do right by students so they have the correct pronunciation or wording.
