Each child is different. Each child has his/her own way of learning. I have learned that no two children learns alike and requires specific instruction. Many teachers stand in the front of the classroom and lecture, passes tons of paperwork out and call it teaching. Yes, in his/her own way she has taught, but has learning taken place. In most cases, NO. I will provide your child with the opportunity to thrive in whatever environment works for him/her. If it is pencil and paper, conversing, or with audio-visual(powerpoint,etc)..we will determine the medium that your child thrives in and allow he/she to blossom! My goal is to meet your child where he/she is and challenge he/she to maximize their potentials.

More About This Tutor...

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 earned a bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education while working full time and being a full ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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, we have to make sure we are a positive role model for these students.
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 a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
