Right now I am in school to be an English High School Teacher at LSU. I have a year left of school and am very excited to start my career. I have worked in preschools and daycares since I was 16. I worked my way up through the classroom and became a lead teacher of a 3-4 year old class. This allowed me to create lesson plans and help the students.

The relationship that I and your child will have will be based on mutual respect, and I will ensure that your child's academic specific needs will be my focus. Each child has a different way to learn. As a trained and certified teacher I find ways that my students can grasp the concepts and learn. I believe that concepts should be learned first on a concrete level, using hands on strategies. Once they "get it", we can move on to more abstract ways to understand. I taught Early Childhood and Elementary school, grades Pre-K through 5th, in the Houston Independent School District for 10 years. I mostly taught 1st grade. It is amazing to see them progress and learn, from non readers to readers, from non writers to story writers. Since I moved to Baton Rouge I continued tutoring children struggling academically in the areas of Math, Reading, Language Arts, Spanish, and Social Studies.

In high school I graduated 3rd in my class. Tutored last summer at big buddy for volunteer and did a little this summer so I'm still getting the hang of it, but my passion is helping students to excel in their reading skills. I remember what it used to be like for me as a student in high school and other facilities. I also volunteered at LSU for 3 weeks at Gear Up. I'm a very auditory type of person meaning I like to explain, but I understand sometimes that gets boring so I can come up with different strategies to get my point across.

I help students to build their confidence in reading by using a specific genre that appeals to them; therefore, they want to read as opposed to being reluctant readers. Thirty-three hours toward a Master's Degree in Urban Education, Four-year degree in General Studies with the majority of classes in Math and Education.

I have taught Spanish and ESL at the collegiate, upper/high, and middle school levels. I earned my B.A. in Spanish with a history minor from Baylor University in 3.5 years and graduated Magna cum Laude. I earned my M.A. in Spanish at Baylor University in May of 2010. I have tutored extensively both during and after my studies. I look forward to working with you. I believe that anyone can learn. I approach history as a story (albeit a very detailed one) and languages as a skill set. I don't do rote memorization, but instead emphasize the patterns, causes, and effects of concepts. If you can begin to understand the why and the patterns behind concepts, the material becomes more meaningful and a lot of the need for rote memorization is removed. Mistakes are learning opportunities, and learning should be meaningful, not stressful. I take whatever approach necessary to give you the t

The thought of reading an entire book can be a daunting task for a child, but I strive to teach students that once you start using your imagination, reading can become one of your favorite things to do! I'm very laid back, but I know how to get results. I have always been a very disciplined student, but I realized pretty early in my academic career that unless I make the subject interesting for me, I'll never grasp the material. I make it a point to get to know every student so that I can personalize their learning style. The only way they'll learn and understand something is if they WANT to do so. I offer a different approach to things that students may not get in the classroom, to hopefully expand their interest in a subject they never thought they'd like. I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I graduated in the top of my class
