I have an extensive background in teaching and tutoring people of all ages and subject areas. I am extremely patient and empathetic. I also am a hard worker and understand the complexity of learning. I believe that each learner is unique and therefore teaching must be based on the style of the learner. I believe that I have an intuition into how to help people reach their maximum potential in learning. I value education and am eager to share it with others. I am also extremely enthusiastic and inspirational in my methods of teaching. I am a dedicated woman, who values education. I am also a well rounded person.

Teaching has been an integral part of my life from graduate school to today. I taught English 1 and 2 as a graduate student at both WVU and Franciscan University of Steubenville. From 1991-1999, I was Director of Religious Education at two different churches. My responsibilites included developing programs and teaching students of all ages as well as adults. For the past three years, I have been teaching in the English department at Butler County Community College. I have taught mainly writing and reading courses at this level. Teaching has always been a passion for me, but I have learned over the years that each individual has a unique way of learning. The job of a teacher is to find the channel into that learning style. Tutoring proides the perfect opportunity to focus on one student at a time and asses his or her personal needs and style. I would enjoy the one-on-one aspect of

I have volunteered teaching grade-school age children in theater at Sweetwater Center for the Arts in Sewickley, PA and teaching creative writing to fifth-grade students at the William H. Ray School in Chicago, IL. I have had paid positions teaching a workshop in comics to middle-school students at Sewickley Academy and teaching drawing and basic self-publishing at an after-school program in West Lebanon, NH. My education at CCS has included not only art, graphic design and digital production, but also the basics of teaching and self-promotion. I have taken classes in German language from middle school through college, advanced English classes all the way through college, and up to college-level calculus. Teaching art is one of my favorite ways to apply my abilities. I am particularly passionate about comics and giving children the tools to express themselves through art and self-publish

I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens.

As a young college graduate, my own school days are not far behind me, and I remember academic pressure and strain. Education is part of the foundation of each person, and a thorough education is vital for success in this fast-paced world. I believe in utilizing teaching methods catered to each student's strength: some learn by doing, some learn by hearing, others learn by seeing. A student's learning struggles indicate that the proper path to understanding a concept has not been found, and as a creative thinker, I will continue experimenting with different methods until the student achieves academic success. And learning should be fun! My goal is to create an enjoyable and sometimes entertaining experience for the student while broadening their horizons. As a high school German exchange student and subsequent German major, I have more than textbook knowledge of the German language.

My favorite aspect of coaching, teaching, and tutoring is the personal connection I build with my students. As a student, I did not adapt well to traditional educational settings, and so I seek to create a nontraditional environment for my students that involves kinetic, visual, and auditory stimulation. Finding my student's motivation to learn is key to my success as a teacher. I strive to make each learning experience new and meaningful. However, perfect practice makes perfect, and repetition is an important aspect of turning new material into "old hat." I began my study of American Sign Language (ASL) at the tender age of 12, then studied Latin in high school with Mrs. Ellen Conrad. When I reached college, I continued my study of ASL while tutoring friends in Latin. I have studied Arabic and Irish Gaelic at the college level, and dabbled in Spanish, Hawaiian Creole, and various

I have worked with children for over ten years. I specialize in helping children who struggle with comprehending math and English. I understand that all children cannot learn in the same manner. As a tutor, I use several different curriculum materials to help students who do not learn with just paper and pencil alone. Math and English can be abstract to young students; and very difficult when one does not understand how to reach students. I believe I have the skills required to reach any child who struggles with learning. Once a child grasps the basic skills, they can learn anything! During my freshman and sophomore year at Augusta State University, I tutored children at the Kid's Restart Center. The center is designed to assist foster children in their school studies. I specialize in elementary school children who are struggling with learning mathematics and reading. I have taken severa

Through my independent studies, and the theories of teaching that I've learned, I know that students learn in different ways. I am a staunch believer in the teacher making any and all necessary adaptations to help students reach their and my maximal expectations. Beyond the skills that a student must possess to attain their goals and succeed, the teacher must first instill a sense of worth and inspiration to drive the student. Whether it is a better grade or just the intrinsic value of learning something, all students must be given something to strive for. I hope to truly teach all of the students that I will encounter in my lifetime some sort of skill that will be of true value to them. I've been an avid, life-long reader and writer. I never intended to become a teacher until I began to work with children who have autism. My passion to work with kids, and teach, started in those first f
