I love mentoring and working with musicians of all ages. I believe all people can grow musically, but each in different ways. My encouraging attitude can help students achieve musical and academic success. I am patient, easy going, considerate and sensitive to the artistic temperament. My goal is to provide the best education possible at whatever level desired. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructive approach to learning. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education, and I strive to make that difference happen in all of my students' lives. As a classically trained musician with a BA in theory and composition, and a Masters in conducting, I have a high degree of diverse expertise to offer all

I find it thoroughly enjoyable to work with children. My time teaching in Peru has definitely confirmed that for me! I am patient, responsible, and easy going. I think that knowledge can be gained in many ways, and it doesn't have to just be from a book or someone lecturing to you. Through getting to know the students, I try to find creative ways, such as games, songs, and crafts to help the student gain an even better understanding of the subject. Most of all, I want this to be a worthwhile experience for my students, so I will strive to be the best I can be for them! As a graduate from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, I have been well prepared in my chosen fields. I have bachelor degrees in both Exercise & Sport Science: Fitness, and Spanish, through which I have acquired a vast knowledge of health and fitness. I have also studied abroad in Spain, and lived and worked in Li

My passion for giving children the encouragement they need to succeed is paramount for me. I believe that because children are our future, it is a necessity that they have every resource to achieve their dreams. I am the oldest of six children and have a two year old myself, and that alone has put me in a position to be a leader, a good example, and a mentor. I can easily relate to people from diverse backgrounds, and believe that regardless of set-backs or frustrations, every child has the ability to succeed both in school and in life. I'm currently a mentor/employee for a Museum, and am involved with science learning activities, exhibit planning and other activities/programs. My experience volunteering for the Special Education program at Duluth East High School helped broaden my abilities to mentor children. I speak fluent Spanish. I've taken college courses in history, political sc

Attending a private liberal arts college taught me to push myself to be the very best I could be. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with an emphasis on Greek, and a minor in English. I tutored for a January term Beginning Greek class, as well as whenever students stopped in the office and needed help with Greek or Latin. I have proficient language and mnemonic skills, since I studied the roots of language for 7 semesters. I enjoy proofreading and editing, and consider myself to be a "word nerd." I worked as a camp counselor for 3 summers, and understand that everyone has different learning styles. Personally, I am a visual learner, and I understand that when teaching lessons it is important to incorporate all aspects of learning: touch, sound, visuals, etc. I am energetic and creative and would rather do hands-on activities to drive the lesson home than to sit and memorize lists fo

I believe all students can learn and use my training and experience to adapt my teaching strategies to individual learning styles. Using student interests can help direct teaching that improves students’ enjoyment of learning. For instance, when teaching reading to boys I have found that they often like to read more factual reading material about sports, science, history, mechanics, etc. Student interests change as they get older and reading material needs to be age appropriate. Students thrive on positive re-enforcements, but the best motivation is personal success. Finding ways for students to feel needed and appreciated, helps to find learning more relevant and worthwhile. I have been teaching for over twenty years, primarily Middle School Language Arts. I have also taught Head Start, fourth grade, third through eighth grade science, and kindergarten through eighth grade music.
