General Info

My name is Sammy Bohannon. I spent 6 years in the public school classroom and saw so many kids struggle. My classes were 28+ and I was just one person. There was no way I could sit down with all 28 of them and help them to learn the way they needed to learn. I felt inadequate as an educator and knew I needed to make a change for myself and my beliefs in education. I began Growing Literacy Tutoring (formerly Bohannon English Learning Academy) as a way to reach students who are not getting the one-on-one attention they need in schools and help them to take pride and ownership over their learning. I now work with students who would otherwise struggle and I now know that I am making a difference in my students' lives.
