Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children. I have been working with the YMCA for close to three years. I graduated from Manatee Community College with my Associate’s degree in May of 2009. I am currently attending the University of South Florida in Sarasota to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.

I enjoy teaching children of all ages. With the continuous stress on academic achievement it is of great importance to excel at every level. I believe everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and it is up to a teacher/tutor to find the patience to help their student discover not only their strengths but to strengthen their weaknesses as well. Education is the backbone to a well-developed, successful society and everyone should be given the opportunity to succeed in every aspect of it. As a University of Delaware graduate and a current MBA student I pride myself on my education. Throughout my carreer as a competative figure skater, education has been a priority and I feel it is the foundation to a person's successes in every aspect of life. Studying art history in college I was able to gain extensive experience in research and writing as well as a variety of basic college level courses

I look at each student as an individual with specific learning styles that they respond best to. My goal is to identify the learning style or styles of your student and then apply my creative mind to finding ways to present information. Positive reinforcement has given me the best success with students through the years. I believe there are no stupid questions and assess continually until I know that a concept has been grasped. Celebrations of milestones and victories are a large part of what I do as I believe self-esteem and failure can be the biggest obstacle a student must overcome. As a graduate of Humboldt State University with a BA and a 2 year post-graduate certificate to teach, I have been led through an array of opportunities over 28 years. I have dealt with special needs children, teens, preschoolers, elementary children and taught any subject placed in front of me. In ad

Every child is different and must be evaluated in such manner to meet and exceed these expectations. Students given diverse learning experiences find they are more confident and are more willing to strive to meet and exceed these expectations. As an educator, I strive t

In my current job, I feel I am a strong trainer because I am able to determine people's learning styles. By determining their style, I am able to train them in the way that they will learn more quickly. In tutoring, I would have the skills to determine how the child will learn the information. Some children might work better by watching someone else solve the problem while explaining the steps. Some might learn by just reading a complete step-by-step process. Some students may want to try the problem on their own, and then explained where they went wrong. They may also want a combination, by doing the problem themselves while the tutor talks them through. I have trained employees in all of those ways, based on their personal learning styles. I would be able to complete the same process with children. I have been in management for six years. In those six years, I have found the mos

Teachers need to be well versed in being able to teach a lesson in every learning style. A teacher must be able to identify each student’s personality and niche for learning. Research has proven that students learn in a multitude of styles. It is vital for a teacher to take the time and assess how each student learns best. An effective teacher will then apply that information into every lesson to insure quality learning. Teachers must bridge the gap and provide opportunities for every child to be successful. By using Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence a teacher can pinpoint the style in which the child learns best. I have recently graduated from college with the skills and knowledge of how to teach children. I have earned a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. I have been student teaching for the past year. However, I have also completed several practicums within the school
