I believe in diversity in teaching styles because each student is unique and each has different abilities in various areas.

Learning is like a puzzle or a code, and I enjoy the reaction of students when they finally solve the puzzle, or decipher the code. I try to show the student the practical application of the subject, and then make them enjoy their time learning. I love seeing the joy of the "Aha!" moment. I hope to establish enough of a relationship with my students to be able to identify what methods will work best. I helped my three children with their homework, and learned the benefit of using a style most suitable to their individual personalities. My teaching experience has all been in volunteer roles. I taught Sunday School class and Youth Group at New Hope Church in Bend for grades 5 through 12.

My teaching style involves a large degree of listening and patience. I strongly believe that each student requires a unique teaching style, tailored to his or her needs, strengths and weaknesses. I am a very patient and understanding young adult who loves working with children of all ages and assisting them in discovering the joy and importance of developing his or her reading and writing skills. Given a stimulating, challenging and rewarding environment, children can gain valuable knowledge that will give them the opportunity to advance and feel confident in their future academic and professional lives.

I believe that the most important element of teaching and tutoring is the ability to vary one's teaching style to meet the learning style of a student. I am patient and comfortable explaining things multiple times and in multiple ways. I believe I have the creativity to help any student find a way to make sense of his or her material. I believe firmly in experiential education, in which subject matter becomes alive to the learner through activities or other practical approaches. I believe that students with all ability levels can master the subject matter with the proper support and the right approach and I believe that I am perceptive enough to be able to find such an approach for any student. I have worked as a tutor since I was sixteen years old, first as a peer tutor, and then in various contexts following my college graduation. I have experience working with learners at varying leve

After over 20 years of experience I know that children are different and possess unique qualities and various skills. They learn at different rates, have different interests and sometimes need different approaches to teaching. I know all children can learn and it is a joy to see that learning take place. I have usually used a developmental approach with hands on activities. I have been working with children since obtaining my teaching degree in 1981. My experience has given me the expertise to work with a variety of children, manage a classroom, work well with others and deal with parents effectively. I have worked as a Special Education teacher in an autism program, been a substitute teacher in various elementary schools and a Director/Teacher in four preschool and childcare centers.

Working with students one on one is an ideal situation which allows me to help a child fluorish and learn. I am available to help your child find their most comfortable ways of learning, and to construct an atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their difficulties as well as their success. Research has shown that children will rise to our expectations, and I will expect, through our teamwork, that your child will succeed. As a Masters level teacher I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in my teaching methodologies. I have earned a BS in Education and a Master of Arts in Education with a Supervision Endorsement, which enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sequential learning for elementary children. During my 11 years as a public school educator I took more courses in language, inquiry-based learning, and hands on science strategies.
