The C&J Resources Team

Chante Rice

Owner & Founder

I am Chante Myles-Rice, the owner and founder of C&J Resources. As a certified tutor with over 10 years of experience in education, I specialize in working with learners of all ages. I provide one-on-one, group, in-person, and online tutoring. My expertise also includes working with individuals with disabilities, including Autism, learning delays, and students with IEPs.
My passion for education began while volunteering with the youth department at my church. During college, I worked at the Boys & Girls Club in Jacksonville, AL, further deepening my experience with youth development. I later served as a Community Outreach Educator with Alabama A&M University through the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, focusing on youth development and nutrition.
Additionally, I have worked as an Adult Education Instructor at Shelton State Community College and in the Early Head Start Program (Family Childcare) at Auburn University, where I served as both the Family Service Coordinator and Health/Disability Coordinator. In this role, I supported over 222 students statewide across Alabama.
I am deeply passionate about empowering youth and adult learners, helping them overcome challenges, and making a meaningful impact in their educational journeys.
