✨️ We are pleased to introduce our newest tutor, Amy Hollyfield, who will be leading our K-1 Pod on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Amy Hollyfield earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and later her Master’s degree in Elementary Education from University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She began her teaching career in Sevier County schools, where she taught elementary students from 2010–2016. During her years in the classroom, Amy developed a passion for helping young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a strong academic foundation during their earliest years of education.

After leaving the classroom to become a stay-at-home mom, Amy continued investing in education and her local community through substitute teaching and active involvement in her child’s school PTO. Since 2023, her family has also embraced the homeschooling journey, giving her additional experience supporting individualized learning and helping children thrive in a home education environment.

Amy especially enjoys working with early elementary students in the K–1 age group. She believes early education is about equipping children with the tools and building blocks they need to become successful, independent learners. Amy strives to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore, ask questions, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Amy and her family live in Sevier County, Tennessee, where they enjoy spending time together exploring the mountains and lake, playing tourist around town, and relaxing at home as a family.

Amy looks forward to partnering with families through Home & School Tutoring Pods and helping each child grow academically, socially, and confidently throughout their learning journey.

✨️ Meet our new tutor, Carrie Thompson...

Carrie Thompson received her Bachelor’s degree at Tennessee Tech in Elementary Education in 2005 and a Master’s degree from Trevecca University in English Language Learning in 2010. She spent 18 years teaching in Metro Nashville Public Schools, where she developed a strong foundation in supporting diverse learners and creating engaging, student-centered classrooms.

After relocating to White Pine three years ago, Carrie transitioned to homeschooling her three children—a role she has embraced with enthusiasm and joy. This experience has deepened her appreciation for individualized instruction and the importance of meeting each learner’s unique needs.

Outside of her work in education, Carrie treasures time with her family. She and her husband, Cliff, have been married for 22 years and are raising their three children—Parker (15), Annalee (13), and Adeline (8). Together, they enjoy playing games and working puzzles, reading, kayaking, cooking, and caring for their many dogs, cats, and chickens.

Carrie is passionate about helping students build confidence, develop strong academic skills, and foster a lifelong love of learning. She is excited to be part of the team at Home and School Tutoring Pods.

✨️ Meet our new tutor, Mrs. Jamie Smith...

I graduated Tusculum University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Growth and Learning, K-6. I spent the next eight years in the Hamblen County school system, the last six years of which were spent teaching first grade. In 2022, the Lord called me to homeschool. That has been the best decision for our family, and I am so thankful I trusted in His plan!

I was born and raised in Morristown, TN. I am married to my husband of almost 16 years. We have two children, a daughter, 13, and a son, 8. We live on a farm in Russellville. We are very active in our church, where I serve as the Primary Sunday School Teacher (ages 6-8) and Women’s Group President.

Outside of teaching and church activities, I enjoy just spending time with family and friends. We love going to Dollywood. We buy and resell miscellaneous items for fun. There is never a dull moment with the Smith Family!

I look forward to this new chapter the Lord has led me to! I am excited to be able to support the homeschooling community by tutoring the age group I love to teach! I believe every child learns differently and at different paces, so I strive to meet all kids where they are in their learning.
