Experience Summary
In summation, my experience spans a large range of age groups, beginning from toddlers through the Elementary grade levels. I am currently working as a pre-school teacher in a 3-4 year old room for Chiltime Learning Centers. I have also taught toddlers and pre-school, as well as kindergarten as an assistant teacher at U of M Dearborn's ECEC,and participated in a student teaching experience with 3rd graders in Birmingham Public Schools.
In addition, I tutored several children I babysat growing up and into my college years, and successfully improved their academic performance by fostering their sense of self-esteem and creating an individualized lesson structure for each child.
Teaching Style
To begin with, my teaching style focuses on educating the child based on his or her learning style and infusing curriculum into contexts that make sense to the learner. It is crucial for the instructor to be able to curtail instruction based on attentive listening and observation.
In addition, I enjoy the excitement of the "aha" moments the learner has when the material "clicks." It is truly a reward to pass on knowledge in a meaningful way - as much to the learner as to the teacher.
