I believe in an independent learning style, leading the student to discover the right answer; not just supplying it without them having to work. It is important to make sure that students know the background of whatever they are learning so they can grasp the concepts inside and out. I am a student at the University of South Alabama studying to be an elementary school teacher. I will graduate in December of 2014. I have experience with lesson planning, therefore, I am familiar with the curriculum that is used by the public school system. I know what is required for elementary school students and I have had adequate training in the instruction of grades K-6, as well as special education.

Reading is one of my all-time favorite things to do!! I can't get enough of reading! I have been reading all types of material since I learned how to read in Kindergarten! With reading, comes knowledge. With knowledge, comes power! Reading skills only get better the more one practices it! I taught English for a few years and really enjoyed teaching the students about the world of writing. I specialized in the four types of writing: Narrative, Descriptive, Expository, and Persuasive. I also strongly believe in developing strong grammar skills because they comprise well written wrting pieces. Once a student feels confident in his/her writing and speaking skills, the sky becomes the limit.

Curriculum tailored to the specific needs of the client, is successful if interaction is achieved through the use of a learners contract. Goal orientation, achievement and praise allows to student to push beyond the limitations that life circumstances afford. Active involvement in the development of lesson plans that interest the student has proven to be vital. Mainstream education sometimes misses this valuable link. Follow up, focus on the task at hand, and challenging to excel are necessary components of the style that I utilize.

I am very passionate about teaching children. I am patient but firm, and focus on encouraging and building confidence. I am excellent at breaking down difficult concepts in a way that children can easily grasp. I do not approach teaching in a manner that pursues only a rise in grades or grade levels; I seek to impart long-term skills and a love of learning. A child that performs well during tutoring may still have issues in the classroom, which is why I strive to build a child's confidence in themselves first and foremost. Regardless of behavior or background, all children have the ability to become excellent students, and I will bring that excellence out of your child. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Worship Leadership, and am currently working on a Master's in Elementary Education. I am also currently teaching myself Spanish and Mandarin.

My involvement in a Tutor/Mentor program at an international high school was an experience that was invaluable. What I learned is that education becomes a form of symbiosis. While I taught students how to peer review drafts, articulate ideas, pronounce words, read books; they actually taught me little bit about my own customs, values and beliefs, being an ‘American’ student. It is through teaching others that I learned how I taught myself. As a result of this epiphany, I am propelled to make a career out of a similar role, the role I had as a tutor, mentor, role model, and friend. My forte is in volunteer work, teaching and literacy; traits I’ve acquired both in and out of the University. With more than 3 years of experience as an assistant to the Dean of Graduate Psychology at the University of Saint Thomas, as well as my experience working for a Coldwell Banker/Burnet realtor, and my
