I have been working with kids of varying ages for the vast majority of my life. I have worked as a youth pastor and other church ministry-type positions. I am patient, caring, and empathetic with students that require a little extra help, because for some subjects, I was the child who needed a kind and caring person to help me succeed.

I have home schooled my step daughter and a friends daughter for the last couple of years. I graduated with high honors (Alpha Sigma Lambda, Magna Cum Laude from Drury University. I have stayed in the same field for 20 years and am looking forward to helping children learn how to read and write the fun way. My goals have always to be able to teach children how important education is and how they can go about gettin an education that is useful. I have helped to encourage the two children I teach now to improve grades from near D's and F's to high B's and even A's. Children want to learn. It is the job and responsibility of the teacher to show enough concern and ability to show these children how to learn. I try to always remember when I was younger and had a great deal of difficutly learning to read and write, how the teacher who helped me went about doing it so I could learn. She made le

I am a very patient teacher. If it seems someone is 'just not getting it' I will try a different approach. People learn at different levels, and what works for one does not always work for another; therefore,finding the way for each individual student is the key. I have also found that most people learn a task by 'hands on' learning, not listening to how it should be done. In this situation, giving someone the tools to do the work themselves gives them the confidence to do it, and feel good about conquering the challenge. As a working professional, I was driven later in life to get a degree that was started right after high school. I initially had 90 course hours towards a Social Work degree, and when I returned changed it to business. I have a BS in Business Management, and I only have one class left to get my Masters(MBA). This has allowed me to have a vast bit of working experienc

I love to work with children and help them learn. I want to help each child achieve to the very best of their ability and reach their full potential. I am very patient and considerate of others. I am a firm believer in showing respect to students. I feel if you show the students respect and understanding, it will be shown to me. Children have different learning styles and I will do everything I can to help them learn in the way that is easiest for them. I strongly believe in showing students how something is done and walking through sample work with them and gradually providing less assistance until they are able to do it on their own. I want to do everything I can to help the students I work with in whatever way possible.

Having graduated with a degree in elementary education, I have learned the variety of students' learning styles and know how to target each child's unique style of learning. With a strong background in reading, English, and history throughout high school and college courses, I have been able to use engaging activities and multiple strategies to tutor and teach others. Foreign languages come easy to me as well, and I have particular interest in German and Spanish. When I volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club during college, I spent one-on-one time with students who needed help with their homework and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I also have a minor in music and am willing to help with piano, guitar, or vocals. My teaching style is is very "hands on." Once I know what learning style my student is,I manipulate my instruction according to their different learning styles whether

I realize that learning reading and writing skills can be difficult. When I teach young people, I work to push each person patiently but constantly to improve with each lesson. Each person learns a little differently, and I like to learn the student’s strengths and weaknesses and work from there. I support hands-on learning. There is only so much a person can talk about writing. The best way to learn writing is to write. The best way to improve reading comprehension is to read. Reading unlocks vocabulary. And a good vocabulary helps in written and verbal communication. My passion for teaching these skills comes from my belief that they matter and that I’m helping someone with a skill that will help them succeed. As an editor working with young writers and as a college professor teaching students, I have spent most of my adult life passing on writing, communication and reading compr
