Hi! I’m Tannessa! I am an Academic Coach for Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I have a bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems from Oral Roberts University and my master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have 18 years in education and experience with many neurodiverse profiles and ages. I believe school is important because it provides students with the foundation and structure that is necessary as they progress through life. School also provides opportunities for students to interact socially and mentally with other individuals. School also helps students to develop and strengthen skills such as organization, critical thinking, communication, and problem solving. I love seeing the growth and development of students over time. It is great to see students’ awesome expression and excitement when they finally connect with or grasp concepts that they view as challenging.
