Experience Summary
I have been tutoring and teaching children since high school in my Teacher's Academy class at Lakota East High School. I then went on to study Education at the University of Dayton and graduated in May of 2013 with a degree and teaching lisence. In the fall I will be employed with Dayton Public Schools. I have had experience with both elementary school children and middle school children both in and outside of the classroom. I did my student teaching in a 7th grade Social Studies classroom. I have also volunteered in South Dakota on a Native American Reservation as a week long tutor for Native American children.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is one that is student centered. When I first meet a child, my priority becomes to learn what teaching style best fits them. I do this through the use of Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligences. I hold high expectations for all students and reward effort. I am strict, but also fair and kind. I believe that every child is different and should be treated as such.
