I try to teach by the style that seems to be the best for that student to learn. I am very patient and realize that each student takes a varied amount of time to grasp material. Hands on materials and fun activities are great ways to keep the student engaged. I have taught school for 29 1/2 years in Special Education . My positions were in Preschool Special Needs, Elementary Special Needs, and High School Occupational Course of Study. I have taught in both SC and NC. I love teaching preschool -elementary students. I have always had a passion for teaching because both of my grandmothers and my mother were teachers. Now my 3 sisters are teachers.

I am a hands on instructor. I believe all children can learn through experience and relevance. I like to take topics and subjects and make them interesting and relevant to the students. I am a very open person, and like to talk and make relationships with my students to better understand how students learn and perceive information. My goals are to always provide the best education for each student so that learning new material and subjects are exciting and fun and not troublesome, and to make all students feel comfortable with themselves and their capabilities. I am finishing my final requirements, and will be completing my undergraduate career with a BS in Elementary Education, second course of study in Sociology this December.

Anyone can understand a difficult topic or answer challenging problem with the proper coaching, practice, and persistence. I am patient and understanding but resilient and dedicated. The challenges of tutoring a child with autism have reinforced these qualities and helped me learn to come up with alternate approaches and be patient at apparent roadblocks. I wish to use the knowledge that I have worked hard to gain helping other students comprehend difficult yet important ideas. I recently graduated from Wake Forest University with a biology major and minors in economics and philosophy. In completing the premedical requirements

I love working with children and had around 9 different children for a two year period while working at the mental health agency. They ranged from 3 years old to 16 years old. I am patient when teaching new subjects and very empathetic to different situations and needs. I have always worked to do the best and be the best and make a positive impact along the way. I believe with a positive mentality and hard work the possibilities are unlimited and through helping guide individuals with subjects they struggle and promoting good ethics they too can follow this mentality. I graduated high school in 2003 as the valedictorian of my class. I maintained my high level of academics in college but didn't know what I wanted to do for a career.
