Experience Summary
I love working and learning with students of all ages. I enjoyed working in a magnet high school that concentrates on leadership, career development, and breaks the mold teaching methods. I earned a Masters degree in Library Information Science and now work as a School Librarian and Technology Coordinator. Elementary school libraries/tech labs are a happening place! During these years, I also worked as an in home tutor through Get Smart, tutored with Sylvan Learning Center, and shared a classroom with another high school English teacher at Night School. I find it very satisfying to work with students as they supplement their education.
Teaching Style
A positive environment and methodology is very important in the learning experience - especially if that learning experience is rooted in frustration. I do my best to connect the concept to a student's personal experience so they may relate and build confidence. Humor can be critical too. I work hard to create buy in from the students so they have a genuine stake in their learning and a true partnership in discovering how to master concepts. I want to learn how they learn best so we can increase success and apply those methods when we are experiencing a learning block. All students can learn and be successful, we all have different ways of reaching that success.
