About Syreeta Moore, Founder
My Story
My first true experience as an educator was with my daughter. As her mother, I am charged with the responsibility of being her first teacher of everything. When my daughter was one year old, I heard her singing a Jay Z song, Izzo. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is a song in which he spells his name HOVA. I immediately recognized my daughter melodically spelling HOVA, so I used the same melody to teach her how to spell her own name. She got it instantly. I realized her brain is a sponge, so I started teaching her all types of things even Spanish. The ability to recite things came first, understanding and connection came later. Each summer, I held summer educational camps at the kitchen table, always working ahead on the skills needed for future grades. It was this dedication to creating a strong foundation of knowledge that lead her on her successful educational journey. In seventh grade, she received a 20 on her pre-ACT, then as a junior she received a 29 on her first try. She graduated from Whitney Young High School with honors, and attended my alma mater the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a full scholarship. Recently, she graduated from UIUC earning high honors with a 3.7 gpa, and was selected as the graduation speaker. She is currently the CEO of her own business, and a graduate student seeking a MBA at the University of Illinois Chicago. She is truly my very first success story as an educator, and it is with my daughter that Moore Learning was first created. I use the same focus to target foundational cracks and create positive learning experiences for all of my students as a teacher.
