Experience Summary
While studying in college to become an elementary teacher I sought out many opportunities to practice my new skills and found them in all levels of academia from helping first graders learn to read to assisting my peers with their college papers. Since graduating, I have continued to find diverse ways to build upon my experience to become proficient in many areas. I have worked in settings in which children and adults know very little English as well as a classroom geared toward the gifted and talented students and finally overseas tutoring homeschooled children. Through my different experiences I have gained insight into how to motivate students to learn as well as strategies to help them reach success.
Teaching Style
Teaching is a joy to me and privilege I am grateful to have. I am a creative, patient, and caring person and I love to incorporate games and fun into learning while maintaining the seriousness of the subject. I seek to know each student’s personality in order that we may build a trusting environment where they feel safe to try their best. Each student has a different learning style and I tailor everything to fit the unique needs of each student. As a guide to their learning I believe in the constructivist approach where students do not just learn how to do something but understand why it works. With time and encouragement everyone can reach their educational goals and gain confidence. It is my honor to be a part of the success.
