Experience Summary
I will be graduating in the spring of 2010 with two bachelor degrees in Secondary Education Mathematics and Russian Language from University of South Florida. I have also studied Political Science abroad for over three years. This experience taught me to appreciate cultural differences and perceive events from different perspectives.During the last seven years I have worked with high school students who experience various learning, mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. I have also tutored students in pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, college algebra, geometry, Russian language. In addition, I have assisted students in development of their organizational skills including time management and goal development.
Teaching Style
It has always been rather easy for me to establish positive relationships with children of different ages, to be able to encourage and motivate them. It comes naturally, perhaps, because I am sincere with and passionate about children. My expectations of them are high yet realistic; and I am always willing to do whatever is in my ability to help them grow academically as well as personally. I truly believe that all students are capable of achieving whatever their hearts desire as long as their put their minds to it. I encourage students’ critical thinking by helping them explore new concepts. I always keep an open mind and take into consideration students’ individualities.
