Experience Summary
Teaching is my passion, and I very much enjoy working with students of all ages. I am currently pursuing certification and a Masters degree to work with students in an English Language Arts classroom, but I have taught and tutored in math, science, vocabulary, reading, writing, and phonics. I am especially adept at teaching ESOL learners and improving reading comprehension. I have tutored and worked with students from ages 3-21, helping with everything from acquisition of language at the phonemic level to complex college-level writing.
Teaching Style
I think it is important to give students successful experiences so that they understand learning can be positive and fun and so that they develop a sense of confidence. I am patient, reliable, and great at showing children their individual strengths and abilities, as well as helping them understand the way that they learn best. This means I seek to not only instill an understanding of the material, but I try to help students get better at learning in general and adapting the material for themselves. I really care about teaching and the children I work with, and I want them to become the best learners they can be.
