I love sharing what I know with my students, from elementary to college levels. I am patient, caring and flexible to work with my students’ individual needs. I believe that reading is the key for the young student to develop a variety of experience and thought. Therefore, I focus on encouraging students to gain exposure through reading a wide range of literature. Reading is also essential to being able to write well, which will open doors to future success. I emphasize practice with spelling, vocabulary, grammar, editing techniques and reading comprehension to prepare students to become good writers. As essays and papers become due, I help students overcome their anxieties to find their creativity and learn to develop their themes.
I teach English as a Second Language in the evenings to adult immigrants in the Wichita area. This is a very rewarding experience; the students are eage ... read more

In the past I have worked as both a teachers aide/paraprofessional and substitute teacher for a total of 4 years.

I currently work as a pre-k teacher. My work day consists of teaching my students their numbers, letters, letter sounds, and basic counting. I am certified to teach Kindergarten through 6th grade in the state of Kansas. My specialties are reading, spelling, phonics, and Kindergarten through 3rd grade math.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching, in some form, has been a part of my life for the last 20 years. During that time I discovered for myself that students learn in different ways. I believe in a positive and encouraging teaching style utlizing varying explanations. I love instructing one on one and seeing the lightbulb turn on when a student gets it. I am reliable, easy going, and eager to make a difference in lives, one at a time.
After obtaining a BA in Business Ad, becoming a CPA, and working ten years as an accountant/auditor, I focused my skills towards teaching. I taught accounting and business math 4 yrs at a business college and community college. In addition I have used extensive grammatical skills in writing audit reports and business letters. I also have many years volunteering in various children's programs. Most recently is five years as Children's Teacher/Supervisor of a weekly prescho ... read more

I am a fun loving person who has always enjoyed life and learning. Given my varied background, I am proof that if you study hard and apply yourself, you can do anything.

A Little Bit About Me...

In conclusion, I think that I can still be successful in teaching. I however, need to find what area that I can be most successful at. I think that with my non-traditional training and experience, that a similar position would give me the opportunity to be most successful. One thing that I have thought a great deal about these past few weeks, is that I am entering middle age and must be a success at something. In the past, I have found the most enjoyment and fulfillment working with special needs and incarcerated students. I hope that this time, t hat I can be more persistent, responsible, and realistic in my teaching and counseling career.
Since my previous experience has been working with fairly non-traditional students, I would like to find a similar position. I have applied for several positions that have opened up in public school ... read more

Being a big sister has always been my favorite job; therefore, I have always sought out opportunities to mentor. I believe that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace, and in her or his own special way. Each person understands concepts differently, and I believe that, to be effective, a teacher must discover from what angle to approach a lesson, for the student's optimum ability to absorb the information. I am very patient with my pupils, and I try to create an environment for the student that is comfortable and friendly, so that they feel safe to learn and apply the things they are learning.
I graduated cum laude from Baylor University, in May 2009, with a bachelor's in Professional Writing. My G.P.A. was 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. During my time at Baylor I discovered a love for history, and graduated one class short of a history minor. I worked as an editing transcripti ... read more

My style is relaxed and informal, but effective. School already provides enough structure, and with a relaxed mind, information can be processed more easily. 1 hour sessions multiple times a week is the best way for the information to sink in.
I have held informal teaching positions throughout my entire life. I have tutored everything from pre-algebra to Calculus to Piano. I'm currently employed as an after school tutor for middle school students, 6th grade to 8th, and independently tutor on Saturdays.

A Little Bit About Me...

My first career was teaching. I always thought it would be a good place to start and a springboard to another career perhaps in business. As it turned out, that's what happened. After 7 years teaching in the public schools, I went back to school for my second masters degree and prepared for my business career. My degree in Communications has lead me to various positions in technical writing, publications, and printing quality control. Now, I'm ready to return to students and teaching.
I believe education is the window to success. There are as many teaching styles as there are learners and the true key to success of any teacher and/or student is finding the partnership that works. I won't do the work for the student, but I'm patient in assisting a student in achieving their own goals and fulfilling their needs. Kids are great! Learning is great! I love to read and write. Now, I'm re ... read more
