Experience Summary
I have a wide variety of educational experience and have recently crossed over into the realm of education as a Special Education/At-Risk teacher with the Edgerton School District. My current position has me utilizing differentiated instruction and modification techniques with nearly 50 students throughout the day which will enhance my ability to tutor others who need help. My particular areas of expertise are Social Studies, Spanish, English and ASVAB/GED test prep. I am weaker in Math and Science.
Teaching Style
I prefer to have materials prepared prior to any tutoring session so communication ahead of time will be essential. If I have an idea of what is expected of me then I am able to help modify the session to fit the learner. I like to use both direct teach as well as discussion to help guide the tutoring session.
My Hobbies
I am a family man so when not working I spend most of my time with my wife and 3 kids. I am a football, basketball and bowlin coach and I enjoy reading (when I find the time).
Other Comments
I don't believe in taking a job in an area that I don't feel I am qualified to help. Prior to any hiring of me I would want to make sure that I am the right person for the job and that would be determined through an open discussion between both parties. I also accept that if I am not doing a good enough job that the person I am working for would be completely within their right to discontinue my servies.
