I like to get on the child's level and teach that way. I like to ask the children what their best way is to learn and what are some of their favorite things are so I can incorporate them into the lesson. I have been working with Elementary children for over 10 years now. I have helped all ages with homework, sports, and life skills (current job now as EC TA). I also have been coaching for the past five years in cheerleading and soccer, but in different age groups. I have been in the school system for the past year in a half and have worked on phonics, math, science, and life and social skills with AU students.

I try to teach by the style that seems to be the best for that student to learn. I am very patient and realize that each student takes a varied amount of time to grasp material. Hands on materials and fun activities are great ways to keep the student engaged. I have taught school for 29 1/2 years in Special Education . My positions were in Preschool Special Needs, Elementary Special Needs, and High School Occupational Course of Study. I have taught in both SC and NC. I love teaching preschool -elementary students. I have always had a passion for teaching because both of my grandmothers and my mother were teachers. Now my 3 sisters are teachers.

Prior to graduating May 8, 2010, I tutored students in grades K-12 for 2 years at an after school tutoring program called, Operation Homework. From this experience, I was able to initiate and Direct an educational summer camp called, 3-steps Ahead Summer Enrichment Camp. In this program, we aided students to perform on or above grade level in reading, writing and math. Also, prior to graduating I received a teaching position which enabled me to receive more hands-on training. My greatest strength is in teaching reading. I have a passion in aiding students to building the foundational phonics, sytax, and semantic skills. My teaching style is flexible. Since I work with children that have special needs (specifically Autsim), I have to be creative in my approach and adapt to the instructional needs of the student. For example, many of my students require direct and explicit instruction;

I have been given a few opportunities to teach classes at the college level and I have developed a deep passion for teaching. Tutoring is another passion, because I believe some students simply need one-on-one attention that they may not be able to receive in a classroom setting. I am a very patient, laid-back individual who is passionate about English and literature. Through my experience as a tutor, I have come to love the moment of revelation, that instant where a student grasps a concept that was previously elusive to them. I am fully committed, in whatever arena of education I find myself involved in, to fostering moments of revelation and bursts of insight. I am fully committed to helping students realize their own natural intelligence and to instilling in these students a drive to succeed academically and to go out to change their world. This month I graduated from Southeastern Un

My passion is working with youth. My goal is to inspire. As an English teacher, I understand that it is important to teach so that all students can understand the lesson. I teach to reach diverse learners. I have the proper training to differentiate my instructions to meet the different levels of learners. I believe it is the goal of the community to raise each child. My mission is served when a child understands a lesson. As a Mass Communications graduate, I focused primarily on writing radio scripts and commercials. I had a goal to inspire the youth via the media. After several internships in the field, I realized that I could serve the youth better in the classroom. I started my career as a substitute teacher. After substituting on all levels, I then took on an EC Teacher's Assistant position at an elementary school. This position has given me the experience to understand wea
