About
Peace and Blessings. My name is Yalanda and I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I am a Teacher, Writer, and Founder of Konscious Mind Life Coaching. A safe space for BIPOC Queens to educate; UN-l... earn to RE-learn; eliminate, getting rid of negative thoughts and patterns, so they can elevate to their higher selves and life authentically.
I tutor World history, Modern World history, Ancient Civilization, Mindfulness, and African American studies.
My goal as a tutor is teach critical thinking, analyzing the information given to determine its value. Making history personal and relevant to your lives. Making learning fun.
I am passionate about learning. I enjoy learning from those around me. I love diverse people with out of the box mentalities. I enjoy writing, being in nature (but not bugs...LOL). I look forward to learning, and growing with you.read more
