As an adjunct faculty instructor at the University of North Alabama, I teach students in a public speaking course through a series of class lectures, individual and group activities, live performances, examinations, and out of class assignments. I work on skills such as audience and situational analysis, research, organization, delivery, body language, and listening. My goal is to make my students more at ease with public speaking by teaching them how to be successful at it in a variety of situations. My activities and assignments are meant to challenge their critical thinking skills while improving their performance skills and help me to offer more individualized instruction. While teaching 9th grade world history in Haleyville, I covered the time period from roughly 1500 to present. I taught them about the rise out of the “dark ages” and world exploration, the Renaissance and

In school I took a class that taught us that everyone learns in a different way. Just like how everyone sees things from different perspectives. After taking that class I realized that there is not just one way to teach or learn. I feel learning should be educational but fun. Repetition is also important. These aspects should all be combined in order to successfully help children learn. I am friendly, easy going, and like to have a good time. Learning does not have to be a chore but can be an exciting experience that a child can enjoy and appreciate. I worry that children think learning is boring and not worth their effort. One good experience can open a child's eyes to the opportunities around them. As a graduate of the University of Louisville I feel I have developed a knowledge base to further my career. I earned a BA in a subject that I greatly enjoy to study, History. Within the art

While tutoring at my college, I received specialized training on identifying and adjusting to different learning styles. I use this knowledge to tailor each session to the needs of the individual student. To track progress, I like to set both short-term and long-term goals and create manageable steps toward reaching these goals. I also think it is important to teach students to establish general study skills so that they can make their own study plans for future courses. For many years, education has been one of my top priorities. I graduated salutatorian of my high school class and summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences. In high school, I tutored in a local elementary school, focusing on developing students' grammar and composition skills. While in college, I tutored chemistry, biology, physics and math courses up to graduate levels.

Children are so important and shouldn't be overlooked or neglected. I have a heart for children, and that heart has grown larger now having three of my own. I believed we have to cultivate their minds with positive influences and make learning fun and interactive. I am understanding and patient;I also know that (from the experience with my oldest child) sometimes it takes a little one on one, teacher to student for them to grasp rules or principles.I enjoy and love tutoring, and it gives me great joy to see children and young adults succeed. There are times when we need someone else to show us our potential and the talents we have. I was blessed to have someone who showed me my abilities in relation to my character and became a tutor for peers and children younger than me starting at the age 11.Prior to graduating High School I completed Algebra 2/ Trig.

My love for working with children is evident in my academic accomplishments and commitment to learning. During undergraduate school I worked for three years as a substitute teacher. In 2005 I graduated Cum Laude with a BS in Elementary Education. I then worked as a classroom teacher for three years in Florida and Alabama. My desire to improve my craft and my ability to serve my students lead me to complete a Masters Degree in Elementary Reading and Literacy. As a teacher it is my privilege to create a safe learning environment in which children are free to learn and explore. I believe that it is my responsibility to create lifelong learners by transferring my love of learning to students through a variety of activities and learning techniques. I strive to create child centered learning environments where adults serve as facilitators rather than dictators. It has been by experience th

My desire has always been to be a teacher. I enjoy working with children to reach their greatest potential. Everyone can learn but we may not all get there the same way or at the same time. Some children are not able to reach their potential in the classroom for many different reasons, they may need more individualized attention, they may be more visual, hands on, etc. Some children may just need more time. I have a BA degree in Communications;Journalism. I have been substitute teaching for over 13 years. I have completed a Teacher Certification program and 2nd grade student teaching. As a substitute teacher I have held long term teaching assignments in 2nd grade, middle school reading, elementary special education, and high school. I have held Preferred Substitute Teacher List status in Michigan and Ohio.

My teaching style changes based on the learning style of my students. Some are more concrete and others are more abstract. I am comfortable teaching at all levels of both the cognitive and affective domains. I enjoy working one on one with students and tailoring lesson plans to help the student get the most out of a class. I typically introduce a concept or principle, describe why the principle is important, provide a variety of illustrations, then let the student try some exercises. I then have the student walk through each of these four categories to make sure they have a thorough understanding of the topic and how it relates to what we have learned in previous lessons. I have 10 years of accounting, external/internal audit and operations experience with KPMG, Overhead Door Corp, and PepsiCo, Inc. In addition I have an additional 15 years of overall business leadership experience

I have always wanted to be a teacher. I began tutoring while I was still in high school. I earned my BS in Elementary Education in 1980. I have tutored students of all ages in different subjects. Most of my tutoring experience has been in math and reading. I have tutored students for all sections of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. I have been a homebound and home-school teacher, as well as a classroom teacher. I love to help children learn! It is so rewarding to see the reaction of a child who suddenly understands what he has been trying to learn. I try to help my students build confidence in themselves by helping them realize that they do have the ability to learn. I want every child to know he is loved and special.

As both salutitorian of my high school graduating class, and a Chancellor Scholar at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, I have the drive, determination, and know how to succeed on any academic playing field and compete with the best of the best. I have a BS in Elementary Education with an emphasis in music. After ten years of teaching experience, I consider myself an excellent candidate to tutor in many subjects, including but not limited to Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Music (both vocal and instrumental), and Music Theory. Being that I have spent the majority of my teaching career in a high needs environment, I can honestly say that I teach to the student. However a child best learns is the way in which I teach a subject. No child learns exactly the same, and as a highly qualified educator, it's my responsibility to discover the mode in which a student best learns.

I hold a BS degree in elementary education. I have taught kindergarten, first grade and fifth grade. I have been a tutor for Sylvan Learning Centers. Since having children, I have worked part-time as a homebound teacher and as assistant director and curriculum coordinator at the Mother’s Day Out where my children attend. As a homebound teacher, I traveled throughout the county to work with students that were homebound for various reasons. I worked with students from K - 12th grade. I acted as a liaison between school and home. I would pick up the student’s assignments for his/her teachers and take it to the student’s home. It was a very rewarding job. I became close to many of my students and their families. I have always loved working with children. I believe that children have different learning styles and it is an educators job to discover what learning style each student has
