I am currently in my 4th year of professional teaching experience and had 2 years of field experience while in college. In this time, I have worked with students across grade levels from elementary, middle, and high school in both classroom and one one tutoring settings. As a special education teacher, I have worked with students with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, emotional impairments, Austism spectrum disorder, and cognitive impairments. I have also spent a great deal of time working with general education students. I am a high energy teacher who likes students to get hands on with their learning. My special education background has given me many remedial techniques and strategies to get students up to grade level.

I have been a certified special education teacher for 10 years. I have had the fortune to teach in various environments in a handful of different states. I have taught elementary students for a majority of my career, but have also managed to squeeze in high school and middle students for three years. The flexibility of my certification has allowed me to teach students with varying needs in the classroom and to teach Core Curriculum state standards, an alternative curriculum, and functional skills. I believe that all students are successful. Each child needs to be given the correct tools for him or her to learn properly. I teach to the child's needs in all situations and adapt and modify the lesson.

I believe strongly in providing not only educational support but in providing emotional stability and consistency for each child that I work with. I have worked with some of the most profoundly behaviorally impaired students in Michigan and have been able to help them learn to cope with their disabilities while becoming successful academically. I believe that by being highly structured, yet providing for individual differences, each student has the capacity to learn. I graduated with honors from Grand Valley State University with my Bachelors in Psychology/Special Education in 1997. My areas of expertise include emotional impairments and cognitive impairments. In 2001, I graduated with a 4.0 in my Masters of Special Education Administration program. I also received my Special Education Supervisor approval certification at this time. I have taught in for 9 years in programs for stud

I very much enjoy helping children with their studies. I believe all children have the capability to learn, but each in special ways. I am available to help your child find academic achievement. I am caring, pleasant, and even-tempered. My objective is to provide the most successful learning environment possible. I believe in teaching through developement in providing a direct approach to learning. I try to make a lasting impression on all students I am fortunate enough to work with. As a college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in all phases of study. I have earned a BS in Business Administration, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of finance and English. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing papers and reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. As a parent, I have tu

I am very positive in my approach to teaching. Being a Special Education major has taught me that all students can learn, but they all learning differently. My teaching style is very adaptable to the needs of the student I am working with. I am passionate about education and developing in young people a love of learning, patient, friendly, and determined. I have been tutoring elementary age students since my senior year of high school. My focus in college was teaching elementary age students and students with special needs. I am well versed in all subjects at the elementary level and am most strong in the language arts area. While in college, I student taught at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels and most recently taught third grade for half of the school year.

My teaching style is simply to provide an environment that is conducive to learning – one which supports collaboration and teamwork, student-centricity, personalization, fun, and humor. I am committed to providing the highest quality education for my students. Each individual learns differently, and I have come to accept that I can't entirely please each and every individual in the classroom (especially when I have over 200 students). I have also come to accept that not every student will "like me". As an instructor, it is my role to present information in a way so students learn. I have realized that students learn, not because they think I am "cool", but rather because the information was presented to accommodate each and every learning style. Therefore, I try to use a variety of different mediums (e.g., visual, audio, etc.) when presenting the class material. As the eldest daughter

My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve them. In the classroom setting, I employ many forms of teaching, including lecture, memorization, demonstration and the Socratic Method when appropriate. I have worked with students from all backgrounds and age levels, and enjoy each student for their own unique personality and potential. I believe that all children can be successful when surrounded by people who care and tools to get them there. As a tutor, I strive to be the most valuable asset in developing the student’s learning skills and their mastery of the subject matter. As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also currently

I enjoy working with students of all ages and at whatever level of learning they are at. I believe that every child is capable of learning, it just depends on his/her style of learning. Having had a child with a learning style that was not the norm I understand the difficulty a student can have at school. I would enjoy working with and helping your child learn some skills that would help him/her exceed. A student who is willing to learn should not be deprived because of a different style of learning. Let me help your student learn. After having been a stay at home mother for many years I decided to go back to school and get a degree in education. I wanted to be able to teach children and use my knowledge and experience to help further their education and life skills. Although I did graduate with a degree in Language Arts I have not been able to gain employment in a school setting. During

It is difficult for me to say which age of student I love working with because each student I have worked with from age 6 - 25 has been very rewarding. I am very patient and work diligently to find creative strategies and approaches to teaching. I believe that all children should be encouraged to meet their potential by gentle encouragement and opportunities for self-discovery. As an educator, I have had many opportunities to work with various different students. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education and a master's degree in teaching with an emphasis in learning disabilities. I have taught secondary special education for 5 years, focusing on math, reading, and writing. I have also privately tutored students of all ages and abilities in math, reading, and writing. I have excellent success in helping students improve their skills,

Academic background and professional experience are the first important considerations for an early childhood education teacher. Having undergraduate work geared toward early childhood is a must. Post graduate work in early childhood can only enhance an early childhood educator. Professional experience in the field of early childhood will show the teacher and the school system if working with young children is where the teacher really belongs. A teacher looking good on paper should not be all the considerations given for an early childhood teacher. I know if my students are learning if I am first using high quality researched based instruction and then progress monitoring my students on a regular basis to see how efficient my instruction was. To break it down more specifically I would pre-test my students, find out what they already know on the subject or concept, because why waste

I was a Missionary in Panama for fourteen years. Learned Spanish through a two-year course in the country. As a missionary, I went on to teach Literacy and Bible to indigenous peoples there. After coming home stateside, although not certified, I earned extra income by giving classes in English to Hispanics in my home. I also taught English to monolingual Hispanics through an Afterschool program in Northeast Elementary, Jackson, MI. I worked as a Paraeducator in Northeast Elementary, as a General Education Paraeducator, but I often subbed for regular ESL teacher aides in the classroom. In General Ed, I often got to tutor reading groups with Hispanic children at the teacher's request. I enjoy helping people learn English.

I graduated from Hope College in 2008 with my Bachelors in Social Work. My senior year internship was working within the Grand Rapids Public Schools teaching life skills and abstinence to both high school and middle school students. I then became a Youth Treatment Specialist at Wedgwood Christian Services. In my first year at Wedgwood, I had the opportunity to work as an education specialist within the on-campus school where I was with students through all of their classes for one day a week. I have had plenty of experience working with teens in individual as well as group settings in my different employment opportunities. I am currently working on my MA in Counseling through Liberty University. I understand that one teaching style is not a "one size fit all" solution for all students. I am a very patient, laid back, and understanding individual. This has come through my work experience
