Fun. We'll talk about things in a way you understand, pursue strategies that are both silly and make sense, and use metaphors that are so ridiculous that you'll never forget them. I get very excited about things. It's very exciting. We'll have fun. Tutored my way through high school, college, and have spent the years after graduation part-time tutoring high school students to get into whichever schools they set their sights on. My biggest pet peeve was boring classes with strategies that didn't make sense to me, and I'm here to fix that by offering a personalized style with in-depth analysis of your strengths, areas for improvement, and desired learning styles!

I prefer to see what the learning style of the student is and then adapt my teaching style to the student.

Previously to becoming a teacher I worked in industry as a project manager or assistant for different companies, using Spanish occasionally.

Teach child as a whole person understanding we need trust and confidence to truly reach our potential. STUDENTS HAVE TROUBLE LEARNING WHEN TRUST BREAKS DOWN AND THEY ARE AFRAID TO EXPOSE WEAKNESSES OR ASK QUESTIONS. To me, this is the key to success--trust in a safe and challenging and FUN learning environment wheee mistakes are treated as paramount to learning, not as hindrances.

I love teaching and working with young people of all ages and abilities. It is my belief that all students have the ability to learn, so they can succeed and gain the confidence in their abilities. In order to help children reach their highest potential, I believe that each one should be given personalized and individualized instruction that is based on their given abilities and skills. I am a patient, helpful, and kind person. Over the years, I have become flexible in the way I teach as each child learns differently and deserves the needed respect to help them reach their dreams and goals.

The opportunity to teach is really the opportunity to work with kids to make them stronger academically. I enjoy stretching a students learning abilities to levels that they are not aware they have. Given the correct instruction in the proper environment, students can accomplish anything and everything and that is my goal as a teacher. Learning about the student is also a very important part of instruction that can lead to academic growth and I feel observation and the ability to listen to students are two of my strengths as a teacher. I have earned my Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University, which combined with my Bachelors of Science Degree in Communications gives me, a strong combination to understand and relate to the needs of students. Since receiving my teaching license that has me certified to teach grades 1-8, I have worked as a tutor for middle s

I like teaching through differentiation methods. I believe all children learn differently and teachers need to offer different options to facilitate those students' learning and enhance their multiple intelligences. I was a volunteer to teach Religion in a At Risk school. Also since starting my program at Cardinal Stritch University, I've been placed in a couple of schools and have taught along with the regular teacher. My goal is to be a teacher that can motivate students in their learning and to become sucessful students.
