Experience Summary
After graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Marketing, I began a career in retail. I developed good listening skills as well as being able to effectively communicate information to clients. After 23 years in this field , I returned to the classroom and obtained my professional teaching certification in Social Science.
I was able to put these skills to work as an ESOL Social Studies teacher I used my listening and communication skills to work with students with language and other academic deficiencies.I currently work with my students to improve their reading ,comprehension and writing proficiency.
Teaching Style
I have taught in the public school system for the past three years.Seeing as class size has increased, it has become more and more difficult for teachers to provide the individualized attention students' require. Being aware of different learning styles will also allow me to customize my approach that is best suited for each students situation. Working with a tutor can help bridge the learning gap and make a lasting impact on students and their future education.It is personally rewarding to know that you have made a difference in the students life. Flexibility, time management, a sense of humor and most of all, patience are all qualities that I would incorporate into my tutoring sessions.
