"We all can achieve if we put our minds to our dreams."

I am 23 years old and strive for excellence constantly. I currently have two jobs and a child. I work hard for my family and make sure that I do my best in everything that is put in front of me. I have made it through high school and college. I have worked with younger children as well as older children. I like to be challenged and will learn with anyone and everyone I work with.
I have many ways of teaching. I like to make the experience rewarding, fun and educational. As I continue to work with others I find their strengths and weaknesses and do the best I can to make the experience fun and as stress free as possible. I know that it can be tough learning new subjects, however, if you put your mind to it, there is always a way. I use games, activities and also outside projects to learn as much as possible.

"Every child can learn."

My passion is education and I have more than thirty successful years of teaching students with diverse learning abilities and learning styles. As an educator, I am most rewarded when I can witness with the student that "Ah,ha" moment when they understand a concept or have mastered a problem solving activity.
Individual and focus of student's specific learning modalities.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Watching a student light up after learning how to do something is the greatest thing for me. I believe children can learn and be successful but each in different ways. I believe we as teachers must use differentiated instruction to help all students learn. My students learn immediately that I care about them and desire for them to be successful learners. I ask them to do their best in everything they do and believe in themselves. We celebrate even the smallest achievements in my class. Learning can and should be fun with just a little imagination on my part. I believe we can help all students achieve if given the appropriate environment, tools, and experiences.
After graduating with an Early Childhood/Elementary degree, I took the 3-6 year old Montessori training. I began teaching in a private Montessori school for 5 years. I the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with many different types of learners so it is not difficult for me to pinpoint what learning styles they have. As a teacher, it is my job to communicate effectively and conform to a student's unique qualities in achieving academic successes.
I enjoy every aspect of teaching. I began in 1987 as a teacher's aide in Georgia. I was later able to return to college to complete my degree in Elementary Education. I have worked as a preschool teacher, elementary teacher, middle school and high school teacher, and I have tutored in Reading, Math, and Science. Much of my methods are based on what I have experienced through the years.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children, and over my many years of being in school I have witnessed all types of teaching styles. When I began teaching myself, I developed a style that allows the children to think for themselves in order to gain academic success. My goals are to provide the student with the critical thinking skills necessary to solve problems and reach their true potential.
Throughout my education, English and writing have always been my best subjects. I am currently a junior at Rockhurst University studying children's speech therapy, and I have 2 years experience teaching English as a second language in Thailand. I have tutored many students of all ages while working abroad, and my experiences have developed into a passion for helping others become better in all subjects.

I like diversity when teaching and incorporating the use of technology to help the diverse learner. The teaching style I like to relate to is that of Maria Montessori, because I like to set up scenarios and encourage the child to problem solve and be creative at their own pace. I do believe that a prepared environment can motivate a child.
My summary of experience is that as a mother and big sister I have had all types of situations presented before me,and I have had to problem solve quickly while considering the choices that I may have make may not be pleasant but choices that were not made without thinking of how the choice may affect others. While earning my BA I have learned about several types of adult and children behaviors, from mental development to disabilities. I had a home day care ,and really enjoyed challenging and watching babies grow into toddlers and on to presc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although it has taken me a long time to find my true calling, I can honestly say that I have. I simply love teaching and working with children. I have a desire to help all students learn to their abilities in a supportive and constructive environment. All students have their own unique style of learning and it is the educator’s responsibility to determine that style and work to bring a student's hidden skills to the surface. Learning is about discovery and discovery proceeds from asking the right questions. It is my ultimate goal for each student to gain academic independence and develop an inner confidence through knowledge.
While I had to put my studies on hold for close to a decade because of family concerns, it was during that time that I was able to establish a tutoring business based out of Seattle, WA. I gained valuable experience working with children having many unique lea ... read more
