Welcome to Smart at Heart Tutoring with Mrs. Johnson! I am originally from Long Island, New York where I received my Bachelor's degree in elementary and special education. After graduating, I began virtually studying to obtain my Master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Concordia University of Portland, Oregon. I then moved to the Raleigh area of North Carolina to continue my teaching career. I have taught full time in person and virtually in Palm Beach and Wake County public school districts. I am now starting Smart at Heart Tutoring after teaching in classrooms since 2011.

My favorite part of teaching is building trusting relationships with my students while also meeting and understanding their academic needs to help them learn and grow. Tutoring allows me to target a child's needs in a small group setting with more accuracy.
