Experience Summary
I have alwasy enjoyed the one-on-one tutoring experience. I have found memories of volunteering as a peer tutor while in high school.At the college level,within study groups for various courses I consistently find myself as the facilitator. The opportunity to be involved in the learning process is extremely rewarding personally. My love for the learning process is what drove me to pursue my AA in elementary education. However, now while pursuing my bachelor degree I have changed my major to psychology. The human cognitive process regarding memory and recall is quite fascinating. Advancements within this field will benefit countless students in comprehending and retaining material.
Teaching Style
Helping others "get it". I love the challenge of turning a frustrated student into one to hungers and proactively seeks out knowledge. My approach to teaching is very student-oriented. I impress on the student that they must take an active role in their learning process. Techniques that have proved successfull involve relating the course material to everyday life. Students are more likely to understand and appreciate concepts if they can see how it relates to them.
