Experience Summary
Stay at home mom with experience in helping my own children to read, and write, along with other elementary school subjects. I have volunteered at my children's school in the classroom, helping children to read, and write, and completing basic classroom duties. I have worked with children in kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades mostly, but feel comfortable working with any grade level K - 5 child, helping them to learn to read and write, and looking forward to giving them the confidence they need to succeed. I have helped in other subject's, but I have specifically chosen to tutor in reading and writing, because they are my most enjoyable subjects to teach! I have been a volunteer off and on at my children's school since 2008.
Teaching Style
I believe in a patient, understanding way of teaching. In order for the child to learn to read and write, a person must have a great deal of patience and understanding. Never make the child feel uncomfortable or frustrated. Reading and writing takes time, and with patience and understanding, along with encouragement, and praise, a child can learn to read and write with confidence.
My Hobbies
Cooking! Outdoor sports with my children, such as: soccer, and throwing a football, which are favorite's! Of course, reading! It's relaxing, and can only make you smarter, and exercises your brain! Family outing's with my husband and children; fishing, and four - wheeling!
