Deena graduated from the University of Georgia in 2012 with a degree in Early Childhood Education.

Always eager to enhance her degree, Deena started taking classes to receive her ESOL endorsement during her first year of teaching. Since then, she has received her Gifted Certification and multiple trainings in the Orton–Gillingham approach. She is currently completing the practicum to become OG certified. Deena has always had a passion for working with children. At a very young age it was clear that teaching was her calling.

She got married in November of 2021 and lives with her husband, two daughters, and two mini golden doodles in West Midtown. Deena created Extra Mile Tutoring in 2018 to help meet the needs of as many students as possible. As a former elementary school teacher, she realized the amount that can be accomplished in a small group and one-on-one environment. Watching her students learn and grow from these small, personalized settings, helped solidify the benefits gained from tutoring. She believes in planning creative, individualized lessons designed to engage each student, promote confidence, and keep students learning. She has grown Extra Mile Tutoring from these ideals, adding other highly qualified, passionate tutors to the team that share her same teaching beliefs and goals. Deena cares about all her students and will continue to go the extra mile to ensure all EMT students are receiving the instruction needed to reach their educational goals, while fostering a love for learning.
