Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach. After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education.

My teaching style is one that is more interactive than instructional. I continue to be amazed while I observe the thought process and problem solving techniques, of the many different and varying individuals and personalities. I am at my best in one on one situations, where I can troubleshoot and identify learning challenges in their early stages. I believe we retain 30% of what we hear and 50% of what we do. The remainder is acquired through repetition, which is a byproduct of a passion waiting to be discovered. My experiences involve the teaching and performance of music education. I am a skilled performer on the trombone, keyboards, drums and percussion. I am qualified to teach brass instruments at levels k-12 and stringed instruments at k-5.

I have recently graduated from the University of South Florida where I earned my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have taught and helped forty students in activities for General Chemistry as a Peer Leader employed by the university. I have also learned other sciences in my degree such as Physics, Biology, Microbiology, and Organic Chemistry. My strongest area was in the laboratories involving the laboratory reports, data collection, and application of what was learned in the lectures. The best way I learned to study was to see the information visually in a repetitive manner and practice many problems. However, I know that children are different in the ways they study; some may need an auditory or hands on approach and not just visual. I believe all students can learn and apply the information well if given the time and appropriate style for them. Thus, I use patience and encouragement whe

In the years that have followed, I have had the pleasure of teaching/tutoring children and young people in the core academic subjects as well as diverse areas such as dance, language arts, etiquette, personal hygiene, self-esteem, and job skills. My strengths are English grammar, social studies, Spanish, and performing arts. I believe in every child or person's ability to learn no matter what the challenge presented. I believe everyone has a unique way of learning and the key lies in capitalizing on the appropriate learning style.
