About Doretha
I hold a Georgia Reading Endorsement, Gifted In-Field certification, and certifications in Language Arts and Social Science, alongside a Teacher Support and Coaching Endorsement. Over 20+ years in the classroom, I've consistently driven 20%+ student growth on district benchmark exams, earning a performance bonus for exceptional results. As a former English Department Chair, I also coached fellow teachers on effective instruction — meaning the strategies I bring to your sessions are the same ones I've trained other professional educators to use. Background-checked and fully credentialed, I bring both deep expertise and a genuine investment in your success.

My lessons start with figuring out where a student actually gets stuck — not assuming it's the same thing that trips up every reader or test-taker. As a certified Reading Specialist with over 20 years in the classroom, I've learned that comprehension problems are rarely about intelligence; they're about missing a specific tool or strategy nobody ever explicitly taught. I build that tool with you, live, in real examples pulled from your own material or practice tests.
For SAT/ACT prep specifically, I focus on teaching you how to break down a passage or question under time pressure — not memorizing tricks that fall apart the moment a test throws something unfamiliar at you. Sessions are patient, practical, and paced to you. Some students need to talk through their thinking out loud; others need a quieter, more structured approach. I adjust to how you actually learn, not the other way around.
If you've felt stuck, discouraged, or like test prep is just more homework, I'd like to change that. Let's find what's actually getting in your way — and fix it.
