While my area of expertise is physical education, I have gained great experience in other areas of education while searving as an in house substitute for Highland Elementary.

This experience also provided me with the wonderful opportunity to work with students with special needs. I have also served 2 years as a full time physical education teacher, which gave me an opportunity to interact with students and further understand the learning process. I believe the biggest key to learning is finding a way for students to relate to the information. Getting to know the student and relating thier interests to the material at hand is key to making a connection. I also believe it is critical to remain positive and supportive with students.

I believe that all students can find success in mathematics. I truly have a gift at teaching mathematics. Many students who have never found success at understanding mathematics, have always found success in my class. This is because I have a very traditional style of teaching that is enjoyed and favored by my students and parents. I believe students best understand mathematics by learning with a step by step approach, but I also firmly believe that students best understand mathematics by being more confident with their skills. This is why I also work on raising the confidence of all of my students in the area of mathematics ... this approach can make a world of a difference! While receiving my bachelor degree from SIUE, I tutored local grade school, high school, and college students. After graduating from SIUE with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education, I was employed by Cen

I like to teach by using examples (as many as it takes) and by breaking down difficult concepts into relevant, manageable information for the person I'm assisting. Positive reinforcement is a major part of how I teach. I am a fun, patient person that enjoys helping others, and I am confident that I can help your child meet and exceed his/her education goals. I am a recent graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a BS in Business Administration - International Business and a focus in Chinese. Because this program is relatively new, a degree in International Business required multiple Finance courses, which allowed me to learn many advanced statistical and mathematical concepts. In these classes, I often assumed an informal tutor role and helped my fellow students understand difficult points. In addition, I trained new employees during my tenure as Lab Manager of

I consider myself to exert a demonstrator model of teaching, meaning that I help children learn through demonstrating skills and then coaching students to apply these skills. I also focus on fostering self-confidence which can encourage any child to learn new and difficult skills.

I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Speech Communication. I was recently accepted into a Master's of Psychology program, specializing in Research, Evaluation, and Measurement. I have superb communication skills, both in oral and written form.

I believe that all students have a different learning ability and learning style. I am patient and caring about my students, and I find the best way to teach each student so that they will succeed and perform to their highest potential. I believe that student-centered learning is a great way for students to understand material. This teaching approach allows the students to investigate topics and create conjectures about material. Student-centered learning gives students a deeper understanding of knowledge. I believe that after I work closely with students, they will have the knowledge and study skills to succeed. I recently graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Education degree. My subject area is high school mathematics.
