Experience Summary
With a great passion for knowledge my personal quest was to achieve academic success. I earned my BA degree 2 minors in 3 1/2 years, and a 3 years masters program in 2 years,summa cum laude, with a flawless 4.0 grade point average. Over the years, I realized that learning matriculates in a variety of settings through a myriad of methods. As a corporate traniner, a professional mentor, children's ministry leader, and a parent educator I experienced the joy of sharing achievement with persons of all ages and abilities. In addition to your statistically normal learner, I have instructed children and adults with learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and chronic mental illness.
Teaching Style
While we obtain knowledge in different methods, the role of a successful educator is to ascertain that method and then nourish it. People want to demonstrate success and independence. Learning is achieved in a safe setting with a committment to growth. Teaching is successful through kindness, encouragement, humility and discipline. While some shutter at the word discipline, discipline is not scolding or punishing as it can often be sensationalized. Discipline derives from the Latin word discipuli meaning one who is taught, lead or mentored- a student. It would be my obligation as a tutor to lead an individual to their greatest capacity.
