"Ms. Groody is a standout teaching professional. In addition to her warmth, empathic demeanor, and authenticity, she always projected compassion, care, and a strong desire towards her students' success. Ms. Groody also offered flexibility within important structure, balancing the importance of accountability with an emphasis on open communication. I highly recommend Ms. Groody for all students. Any student who works with Ms. Groody will not only have an opportunity to learn a lot, but to do so with the utmost encouragement to reach their fullest potential. Ms. Groody made herself accessible, where parents would not feel rushed or pressured. She provided consistent communication and encouraged the same. She is very open to different students' circumstances, and truly takes the time to help her students excel and thrive. I would highly recommend Ms. Groody as a mentor and a student success coach for others because of her knowledge, experience, and willingness to work through any challenge. Your student will undoubtedly feel very cared about throughout the process of working with Ms. Groody, and will learn about the subject at hand while also learning about themselves as well."

"As a former student of Ms. Groody's, I can confirm how helpful her teaching strategies were, which helped me achieve success in my English 2 class. Her skills are outstanding and her teaching style is very easy to understand, which makes school a lot less stressful. She is very patient and supportive with each student, which shows her true self and dedication to helping us students succeed in school. Rather than just questioning, Ms. Groody makes sure we understand the lessons to the fullest, 100%. I personally would not completely understand narrative techniques and found them complicated, but she quickly saw that and helped me. Ms. Groody truly provides helpful information and feedback. I also love her personality and how she treats every student with care and respect. Overall, her mentorship is remarkable and very effective. I would definitely recommend her to other students!"

"Ms. Groody is not only a gifted teacher, but she makes learning fun. Her assignments and feedback took my son’s writing to the next level and he really enjoyed her class. He works independently, so I really appreciated how clear she was in setting expectations and how encouraging she was, as writing can be intimidating and vulnerable. Ms. Groody's passion for helping students reach their potential is evident. We wholeheartedly recommend her!"

Diane H. - Parent of 10th grade student (English 2)

“Ms. Groody was one of my first teachers when I started taking classes with Florida Virtual School, and I can assuredly say that she was an amazing teacher through and through. From providing clarifying and instructive feedback quickly on my assignments to always being there in case I had a question about something, Ms. Groody was exemplary. Even after finishing the class, she occasionally has kept in contact with me to catch up. I would absolutely recommend Ms. Groody to anyone.”
