Experience Summary
During my coursework as an undergraduate student, I completed several hours devoted to art education, educational leadership and educational psychcology. I also completed the on-the-field teaching of art lessons to a mildly autistic elementary student for several weekly visits. In addition to my undergraduate experience, I was a teaching assistant for four college classes and I served as an instructor for a beginnning metalsmith course during my graduate studies. It was also at this time that I assisted international students in the writing and editing processes of written theses, necessary to complete their graduation requirements of their degree programs. More recently, I've been an in-home tutor for the past year, working with students in reading and mathematics. This summer I became an SES tutor, working one-on-one with a student here in Lehigh through the NCLB program.
Teaching Style
Every student can learn. It is my responsibility as a tutor to approach teaching with an open mind and explore various teaching methods in ways that make sense to the child. Every child is different and one method of learning does not work for every, single child. Learning needs to be made relevant to the child's life and worldview.
