About Deanna
With over seven years of experience as a college-level instructor and academic advisor, I bring a deep understanding of how to support learners at every stage of their educational journey. I have taught a diverse range of students—from high school dual enrollment participants to adult learners—in subjects such as Sociology, U.S. History, Government, and English Composition. My approach is professional, student-centered, and rooted in academic integrity. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and achieve their academic goals through personalized, engaging, and inclusive instruction. You can count on me for consistent support, respectful communication, and high-quality lessons tailored to your unique needs.

As a tutor, my approach is centered on individualized learning and real-world application. I aim to meet students where they are academically, emotionally, and personally, helping them build confidence while mastering the subject matter. I believe in interactive and collaborative instruction that encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and curiosity. Whether I’m teaching Sociology, writing skills, U.S. History, or test preparation, I create a respectful, supportive learning environment that promotes both academic success and personal growth.
I use a combination of:
Socratic questioning to encourage deeper thinking
Scaffolded instruction to break complex topics into manageable steps
Visual aids and real-life analogies to enhance understanding
Formative assessments like exit tickets and informal quizzes to monitor progress
Culturally responsive pedagogy, integrating students’ lived experiences into learning
I also leverage technology such as LMS platforms (e.g., Blackboard, Google Classroom) and tools like Kahoot or Quizlet to make lessons engaging and interactive.
A Typical Lesson Plan Includes:
Warm-Up / Review – Quick check-in or prior knowledge review
Learning Objective – What we’ll cover and why it matters
Instruction – Explanation of new material, often using real-life examples or visual tools
Guided Practice – Activities we work through together
Independent Practice – You try it, I support as needed
Exit Ticket / Wrap-Up – Summary, reflection, and preview of what’s next
I also build in time for questions, discussions, and reinforcement of learning strategies like note-taking or outlining.
