Having decades of teaching experience since 1984, Mrs. Connie McKinney seeks to make learning enjoyable. Her educational career consists of teaching middle school and high school English, including ESL to new residents in the USA, homeschooling her own two children from kindergarten through high school, teaching English in various Homeschool co-op groups, tutoring students in India, assisting American students seeking to improve their SAT scores, and since 2012 educating with DreyerCoaching, where she is one of the most senior-level teachers.<\/p>\n

Her other interests include doing family activities and hiking with friends. Interestingly, Mrs. McKinney now works with people from other Asian countries\u2014Nepal and Thailand. Immersed in helping these refugees, many with their school studies and social skills, she feels honored to have this opportunity.<\/p>\n

Mrs. McKinney recalls that as a young girl she would line her baby dolls up and teach them, mimicking her own endeared teachers. Teaching has been her life. She is a dedicated teacher who not only enjoys the teaching materials but also delights in her students.<\/p>\n
