Experience Summary
I have been in management for six years. In those six years, I have found the most rewarding part of my job is training new employees. In the past year, I have decided to change my career to teaching. I have passed the temporary certification exam for Middle Grade Mathematics, and have applied for the Hillsborough County Teacher's Job Fair in June. In my current job, I am a Peer Trainer, so I not only train my employees, but I train employees at and above my level.
Teaching Style
In my current job, I feel I am a strong trainer because I am able to determine people's learning styles. By determining their style, I am able to train them in the way that they will learn more quickly. In tutoring, I would have the skills to determine how the child will learn the information. Some children might work better by watching someone else solve the problem while explaining the steps. Some might learn by just reading a complete step-by-step process. Some students may want to try the problem on their own, and then explained where they went wrong. They may also want a combination, by doing the problem themselves while the tutor talks them through. I have trained employees in all of those ways, based on their personal learning styles. I would be able to complete the same process with children.
