Working with children has always been my passion and goal, as I love teaching and helping children of all ages. I believe that the childhood is one of the most important factors in an individual's life, where growth in learning and understanding is a critical building block for their life. Children, being diverse and unique in various ways, each have an individual learning method. If found and applied to the manner of teaching, then the child has a higher chance of reaching their full potential as an individual. I am very patient, loving, considerate, and easy going. One of my joys in teaching is being able to broaden a child's foundation of understanding and opening their eyes in order to facilitate their own skills and manner of learning in the real-world. I strive to not only make a difference in my student's lives, but to encourage and motivate their own understanding and love of the

As a new teacher in Arizona I just finished my first year in teaching in schools around the Yuma area. I was privileged enough to teach many different grades, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses as well as numerous learning levels. I have developed many skills and taken a particular interest in tutoring English and Reading as well as Math and Social Studies. I have gathered much knowledge about all subject areas at the elementary and high school levels. My knowledge, passion, and dedication has helped many students overcome trouble areas and encouraged them to progress farther than they felt they were able to before. My teaching style is vary diverse when it comes to my students. I do not believe in one teaching style because there will never be just one learning style present with any child. Every child learns a different way in different subjects and I believe in discovering the

I recently moved to Arizona and received my substitute teaching certificate. I am a new college Graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Ag Leadership and Development. My degree helped me understand how individuals learn and process information. It also helped me understand and respect people of different cultures, religions and races.

I worked closely with children on leadership and educational projects. I feel that I am more than qualified for this position. I greatly enjoy working with children.

I love teaching because it allows me to connect with youth. I find them very humorous. Some work hard, while others not so much, but either way, a teacher can learn so much from their student. Working in educatuion is a challenge I enjoy, especially when I see how well a student progresses. I hope to be able to continue to make a differnce in a young person's life and be a positive influence on them. In May of 2004 I graduated from a small liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington. I majored in English with an emphasis in writing. The writing curriculum I followed consisted of writing personal essays, articles, short fiction and even writing for children. Additionally, I wrote several research reports. Research for my Masters Degree required a lengthy detailed dissertation which turned out to consist of four chapters and about forty pages. I have had to practice my grammar,

I believe that each child is capable of learning. I want my students to know that I will not give up on them, and that I believe they are all capable of learning and making progress. I believe that students succeed when they are actively involved in their own learning. For this reason, I will use plenty of hands-on activities and manipulatives that will reinforce concepts to students. I have always loved learning new things, and would love to share and instill my joy of learning to each child I teach. I currently have a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and hold an Arizona teaching certificate. I have spent many years volunteering in both my parent's classrooms. I have also spent the last school year substituting in elementary schools in Tennessee where I am living now. I have thoroughly enjoyed substituting in different grades and subjects.

I am in my second year in Northern Arizona University with junior credits.

I am an extremely patient person and will not stop until my student has learned every subject problem area. I am dedicate to the student one hundred percent.

I am firm and structured but do this in a way that warrants respect and self awareness on the part of the student. I am proud to say that I am a favorite among students, and a first choice among principals that often call on me for long term assignments. I strive for diversity of skill set.

I have an English as a Second Language endorsement and have worked with adults in improving the English level. I excell in creative writing and am currently assisting friends in obtaining their GED. I believe in Howard Garner's theory of teaching to the student style of learning. They are as follows: Visual, Auditory, Musical, Kinesthetic, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal. As I work with the student and get to understand their abilities and limitations I develop a style that will work the best for that particular student.

I sit with students and ask them what they are having trouble with. I will then explain to them and make it as clear as possible so they can understand better the subject they are having trouble with. Once done with my explanation, I will have them work out problems to show me they really understand the subject. It is very important to be patient with every student because some are fast learners and some are slow learners. Depending how much the student is struggling, I will dedicate my time and make sure students fully understand everything they are required to learn. During my senior year in high school, I tutored and mentored at a program named AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). This program is designed to prepare students for college. My job was to help students with any subject they were having trouble with. Math was the most common subject that students needed help wi
