My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, and 5th Grade. I am certified K-6th grade. I also taught advanced and Intermediate math and language arts in a GED/HiSet program. I currently teach ESOL/CIVICS for an Adult School.

I have taught 5th Grade Math and Science, 3rd Grade, 2nd Grade as an Interventionist, Kindergarten, and most recently Advanced Math and Language Arts / ESOL/CIVICS in and Adult GED/HiSet program. I have the ability to motivate and light the fire of interest in my students by incorporating in my teaching full emersion projects. Using an approach that fully immerses my students in the subject they are learning gives them the opportunity to learn firsthand instead of being merely a receiver of information. I call this approach “Walk a mile”. I have used this approach in many of my student teaching as well as substituting experiences. For example, in a second grade class that was learning about reading maps I became Pirate Scary Sherry and took the students on a treasure hunt. I dressed like a pirate and told the students that I buried a treasure somewhere in the classroom. I made s ... read more

Hands on learning with a lot of learning activities.
I have done a lot of tutoring. I have tutored people for the past 4 years. I tutored a little boy with special needs and have taken a class back in high school called "peer tutoring". In this class I would go around and help students in the classes I was assigned to. I took this class for about two years.

My foremost goal as a teacher is to leave students with both the desire and the ability to analyze real phenomena in the world around them. To do this, I believe you need to first make students have a stake in subject matter beyond the grade they earn. Second, you must present the material in a clear, organized, and engaging way. In my teaching experience, I have found that both of these features need to be present to have a successful class. I am a public school teacher entering my fifth year in teaching. I am certified K-6 and K-12 for ESOL.

While teaching at Maryville Children's Academy in Maryville, Tennessee, I created learning activities for the Kindergarten Readiness and Four Year Old students. I also created the 2012 Space Curriculum for the preschool system. During my Internship/Student Teaching experience at Donald Yates Primary School and Ocooe Middle School I taught various subjects in the second grade, and I also taught Social Studies and Science in the sixth grade. My teaching experience in the Ocoee Middle School sixth grade Social Studies class inspired me to create my Master's thesis Gate Trippin': An Unorthodox Curriculum Guide to an Ancient World. While designing the guide, I created learning strategies based on ideas from Stargate SG-1 to teach sixth graders about Ancient Egypt. While I attended Mount Olive East Church of God, I tutored children of various grade levels. As an Education Assistant and Substi ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with children. I do believe that all children can learn - some differently than others. I try my best to be patient, easygoing, and encouraging. My goal is to open a child's world to new adventures, possibilities, and opportunities. It is exciting to see a child learn and discover new ideas or ways of processing information. A good educator provides discipline and can make a difference in a person's education. I believe I make a difference of the lives of my students.

For the past four years, I have taught first grade students who are struggling with reading, utilizing the Reading Recovery framework. Working one-on-one with each student, I am able to observe their reading behaviors and plan lessons to address reading and writing confusions. During this same time period, I have worked in the Early Intervention Program with first, third, and fourth grade students. This program enables students who are not on grade level to receive small group instruction in the areas of reading and math. I have also been a classroom teacher for third and fifth grade students, as well as a computer teacher for students in grades PreK-6.
All students can learn. It is important for the teacher to begin with what the student knows and build on his/her strengths to accelerate learning. Acute observation and data collected through assessments should be used by the ... read more
