SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

Patient, Results-Oriented, and Dedicated!

I use effective practices, strategies, and resources to inspire and enrich each student's learning. Direct instruction, workbooks, visual aids, computers, math manipulative, hands-on activities, mini-labs, student-centered discussions, one-on-one tutoring and small-group instruction are used to honor various learning styles, students' needs and goals, as well as to ensure they are active learners. Students participate in small-group instruction, hands-on activities, mini-labs; may use computers for further enrichment and technology-integration; analyze words and stories; make real-life applications to concepts being presented; and customize their own learning environment through student-centered and teacher-led discussions and enrichment activities while receiving caring and effective support and guidance from me!
As a person who works with various groups of people, I continuou ... read more

Spreading knowledge across the world

I am a 17 year old female who has so much talent to share with the people around me. I'm apart of a community service club, I play a variety of instruments, and from my experiences I've gained a lot of wisdom. I may not be certified with a piece of paper to show, but who said that in order to spread knowledge you had to have graduated and attended college? All in all I aim to please and I give 100% because 99 1/2 won't do.
I'm more of a hands on and visual teacher. I prefer to show than to read because many ideas can come from one sentence. I learn more by drawing out or actually seeing what my teacher is trying to convey.

I have always had the desire to help people, and have truly embraced any opportunity to work with and help children. While many children learn in various ways, I believe all children have the ability to learn and grasp necessary skills needed to be successful in today's world. My goal is to give back to the community and to be a role model for our youth today. I have been told on many occassions that I have a talent for positively affecting poeple's lives. I believe this is a talent that I need to expose, and put this to good use. Children are our future, and our children need young professionals in thier lives to motivate them and ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed. I vow to do this, and would find it a proviledge to be able to work with these children.
Recently, I completed my Masters of Business Administration from the University of Maryland University College. I ... read more

I am actually in the process with my students, their victories are my victories. I want my students to be proud of the work that they have done and the achievements that they have made. I give my students the information, I show them how to apply the information through modeling, I practice with them and then I release them to apply the technique themselves. Afterward I assign an project for an artifact that allows them through written words to translate their knowledge to another person. It is my goal to prepare them for life outside of the classroom, failure is not an option.
I have a proven success rate in assisting my students in excelling on standardized tests. In the 2007-2008 school year my students achieved double digit gains on the MSAs (Middle School Assessments). Also during my experience I have moved basic and proficient students to advanced levels on the standa ... read more

All of my work experience and higher education has been based around my passion for education. My educational successes showcase an MS in Adult and Technical Education: Teaching English as a Foreign Language and a BA in Elementary Education:K-6. My early work in day cares led me to pursue my BA and has allowed me the opportunity to work with students with every learning level and style. My time as a student-athlete tutor at the college level gave me extensive experience in private, one on one, and small group tutoring. During that time, I worked predominantly in English, including Speech/Communications, Composition, essay writing, grammar, essay, paragraph, and sentence structure, research, study skills, and organization.
I truly enjoy working with all ages of students. I feel that one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Most of my lessons are built around the central idea of ... read more

I am passionate about working with children."Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value". I believe every child is an achiever and needs a facilitator or a model on what he/she has to do.I believe that if I teach according to each child's learning style, we will have a good outcome.I have always loved to make a difference in students' lives.
With my Bachelor degree in English, I decided to further my education to the Master's level, so that I could gain more knowledge and experience to serve students well. I had the opportunty as a teacher and student teacher to gain an insight into how students learn and to adapt my teaching techiques to meet their needs in reading and writing.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a wide variety of experience in mentoring and teaching. As a graduate with a degree in journalism, I have excellent oral and written communication skills including spelling, grammar, and analytical writing. As a science teacher to a group of English language learners, I mastered the art of differential teaching to reach several different levels of learners. I've taught students performing several grade levels below where they should be, as well as students that were exceptionally gifted. I've taught: reading strategies, literacy development, middle-school science, writing, character building, leadership principals, organization/planning skills, and journalism.
My specialty is developing creative strategies to get students to develop a desire to learn. In my experience, I've found that tapping into students interests and finding a way to tie that into the lesson not only g ... read more
