I believe in structured education while leaving plenty of room to facilitate learning through creativity and exploration. I firmly believe in meeting a student where they are academically, socially, and emotionally by adjusting my teaching style to best fit their learning needs. Learning is all about growing, exploring, making connections, and having fun!! I have experience in tutoring and small group instruction in elementary regular ed, inclusion, and special education classrooms (including speech). Throughout my undergraduate, I have had many hours of field in experience in 2nd grade regular ed and inclusion classrooms and elementary special ed and inclusion, including speech.

I sincerely believe that reading is the role to true freedom. Reading opens the doors to knowledge from books and the internet. It is the key to learning. My professional experience has expanded from Bookkeeper, Researcher, to Assistant Crew Leader for Census 2000. At home I have home schooled two daughters. I have helped two grandsons get ready for school and also prepare for their new school year during the summer break. From 2006 until June 30, 2012, I was a work at home professional in customer service and sales.

I am a high school senior in the AP/Honors program at Warner Robins High School. I have two little sisters who I have tutored since they began school. On average, they have scored higher on tests when I have helped, particularly in the area of social studies. I have also helped multiple students at my school. The average that they score on a test is typically ten points higher than when they study by themselves and, in some cases, twenty points if the student does not study at all. The results are typically better in social studies, the subject which I am most proficient in, but all subjects tend to shoe significant improvement. I am hands on. I personally learn best from things like powerpoints and handouts. This is also the way I tend to teach others.

I have a bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education which gave me the knowledge to lead students in succeeding in the classroom. I also have a Masters inn Education with a concentration in Psychology and Counseling. With this degree, I learned how to counsel children in different areas in thier lives. I have taught in early childhood for the past 7 years. I love teaching children. When we see a student struggling, a teacher should go to all ends to the Earth to make sure that student succeeds in the classroom. If students do not feel like they can succeed in the classroom, then they are going to fell like they cannot succeed in life. A teacher’s job does not stop once the school day ends. Whatever we do or say in the classroom stays with those students once they leave the school building. Teachers are planting seeds in these students for them to be able to grow in life. As teachers,

I enjoy teaching, it is part of what I was born to do. I enjoy teaching children and adults. I have always believed that all people can learn but at different levels and in different styles and the teacher just has to discover the "hook" that helps the student best in succeeding. I believe that it takes more than the teacher; it takes the student and the parents also. I do my best to try any tool available to enable my student's success. My track record speaks for itself. Ninety-five percent of my students have reached their goals and the other five percent shown improvement. I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education based on my own families background and my own. Because I was overlooked it gave me the desire to help those that seemed mostlikely to not succeed.

I have taught two years of middle school and home schooled my daughter. I have worked as a substitute teacher on and off for several years. My emphasis in college was English and Math so I feel very comfortable teaching either of these subjects as well as reading. My teaching style is flexible. Students learn in different ways and at different paces. It is my job to discover how the students learn and what they respond best to. For some subjects, repetition is very important and for others a clearer understanding of the concepts involved is more valuable. I like to start with small skills and build on them.

All students learn at different levels. I like to incorporate all the learning styles of students. Some learn by hands-on, others by listening, and some by writing. These are all used by me. Each student has their own learning style and a teacher has to help each find what works for each student and then incorporate this to meet the needs for that particular student. Education cannot be mass-produced. One style does not fit all. Reading is extremely important to the success of a student. Education is the most valuable tool and weapon to get out of poverty; and it is something no one can ever take away from you. I have 17 years in the classroom and 5 years of education to attain this. I still make myself available to help any student who needs it even though I have left the classroom. I have also substituted for 3 years at all grade levels. I have had to write many papers during

I have a passion to work with children. Throughout my teaching career, my relationship with the students has been a great experience. While teaching I received teacher of the month many times. I strive to maintain a status as an expert among students by displaying detailed knowledge and by challenging students to enhance their competence. I also want to guide and direct students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging them to develop criteria to make informed choices. I believe in motivating and educating the welfare of our nations children. Graduating from Fort Valley State University with two degrees in education gave me a sense of direction. I have a sincere desire to help improve the future of our nation's children. I began volunteering in a literacy program that sought to help children and adult improve their reading comprehension skills

As a Georgia Southwestern State University Graduate, I was able to obtain many opportunities to work with students of different grade levels and developmental levels. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and have experience with many different grade levels. I had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of 2nd grade students during student teaching. I also had the opportunity to tutor two elementary students during a summer program through Georgia Southwestern. I know I have the skills needed to be an excellent tutor. I love everything about the teaching profession. I feel it is a very rewarding occupation. I believe that each and every student has the ability to learn, but not all students learn everything in the same way. It is my job as a teacher to find as way that works best for each student. I use the scaffolding method when teaching. I like to begin by giving the students

I am a firm believer that all children are able to gain knowledge by various experiences. I accommodate students’ learning styles through the use of hands-on activities, technology, and audio/visual stimulators. Sometimes things have to be broken down and sometimes they just have to be fun. I also believe that some students do a better job at mastering skills in a one-on-one or small group setting. My education and work experience prepared me for the position of Early Childhood Educator. I received my B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Albany State University. While attending Albany State, I was also able to obtain credentials as a certified tutor. I worked for two years before obtaining my certification as reading and language arts tutor while working with kindergarten through fifth grade. During the last six years I have taught and tutored across the curriculum in subjects s
