Experience Summary
Hello, all. My name is Stacie. I have over 10 years of experience in Education. I started my career at Sylvan Learning Center. I began as a Program Manager, but also have experience as the Director of Education. My job duties included giving students Diagnostic Assessments, updating each student notebook, tutoring math, reading and writing in the evenings, attending ongoing trainings, contributing to teacher trainings, and meeting with both parents and teachers at schools.
From there I was employed as a tutor for University Instructors. For the past six years I worked as a second grade teacher and Resource Specialist at a Charter School. I accomplished all teaching duties, plus worked as a test proctor, computer lab monitor, curriculum developer, and office helper.
It has been awhile since I have been a teacher/tutor, but I feel like I would still be a good choice to tutor your children. I have lots of subject knowledge and life experiences now.
Teaching Style
It definitely is important to combine styles. I use direct instruction, as well as guided instruction, and groupwork. It is also important to get to know your students and their specific learning styles. It is helpful to tap into their multiple intelligences and to present information in multiple ways.
My Hobbies
I am a life-long learner myself. I like to read a variety of materials, including magazines, newspapers, and books. I also feel it is important to live healthfully, so I exercise regularly. I like to travel, listen to music, watch movies, and spend time with family and friends.
