It's one thing to read, but it's another thing entirely to understand and retain what you just read. I teach skills that will allow students to absorb information that they read, which helps not only in their daily lives, but in test preparation as well. I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like. I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern M

Students learn best when they are engaged in an environment where they feel confident to express their individual personalities. Creating a community of learners in a classroom from the very first day of school is a key element to a positive learning environment. A mutual respect between the teacher and the students needs to be established and maintained throughout the school year. Learning requires an environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, sharing opinions, expressing areas of confusion, providing assistance to others, and communicating in a positive manner. When children know and feel that the classroom is a safe environment to express ideas and thoughts without fear of negative criticism their learning will flourish.
