In my experience with teaching, I find that the best way to connect and convey the information is to provide aural, visual and experiential exposure to the material. Everyone does not learn at the same pace or through the same exposure to material. It is also important to be perceptive to the possibility of student frustration as this is almost always a road block that will arise and if not identified can lead to lower absorption of the material or complete lack of understanding and drive altogether.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a H.S. student, I was a volunteer tutor with A Better Chance program and I continued to tutor and mentor students throughout my college and professional career. I tutored students in math and english/reading. My greatest sources of satisfaction have been spending 3 summers on loan to Purdue University to teach in their Minority Science program for H.S. School students. Additionally, I feel fortunate to have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 12 years and a youth soccer club coach for 25+ years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA. Both degrees placed a heavy emphasis on mathematics, a subject I have been comfortable with my entire life. Also, my 30 year professional career allowed me to hone my oral and verbal communication skills.
I love working with and teaching children and I recognize that every child is different and each has his/her own capacity for learning. Being able ... read more

As a teacher I believe that students learn best by doing, so I plan my lessons to engage students with meaningful activities that are mastered with hands on activity rather than teacher lead discussion.

I firmly believe that the right combination of hard work and innate talent will help a child learn and grow. I set high expectations for my students, and I create a learning environment for each child to achieve at their own pace and in their own way. I have learned that a smile and a nudge in the right direction can create for a young learner a path towards empowerment and success. I believe that establishing and securing a firm foundation in basic skills is essential for developing higher-order knowledge. Each child will flourish with the right structures in place, and among the most important of these is the right teacher.

My teaching style is focused on student achievement. Many parents complain that their child does poorly on tests. This is often a result of inadequate teaching practices which fail to recognize individual learning differences in students. My goal in teaching is to individualize the learning process for each student, so that the student understands and retains knowledge and is able to explain what they learned. This process increases their test scores and confidence. Students often require that educational materials be modified or accommodated to meet their particular needs. My experience in special education has shown that all students can achieve if knowledge is properly presented and goals well defined.

Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading and writing very much and would love an opportunity to spread my passion of knowledge through reading. Ie have recently been thinking of getting certified in teaching to be a substitute or tutor. I just needed a reason to complete the task. Throughout my years in school I wrote and read everything necessary and I believe I would have no problem helping others achieve their goals of learning how to read and write to the best of their ability.
