I work diligently to ensure that I am very versatile when tutoring as I believe students learn differently. I am very polite and patient when assisting a student who is struggling in getting a concept. When applicable, I try to make learning a fun and enjoy applying learned material to the student’s life. I enjoy assisting students in reaching their goals, and feel all students can learn. I feel education is more important than ever and enjoy working closely with students by giving them personal support and encouragement to be successful in learning.

I have worked with children from preschool-12th grade both professionally and personally. I get along well with children, and try to hone in on a child's personality and how they learn best. (Visual, Learning by doing, Verbal) I also try to see what issues the child is having problems with - that could be not understanding what is required, or not having mastered certain skills that are necesary to build on to obtain the next level of achievement. I love to motivate and usually bring a reward to students - gum, temporary tattoos, or a cool pen or pencil. I am currently a graduate student in a Clinical Counseling Program. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2002 with a 3.89 GPA, my current graduate GPA is 4.0. I have previously worked as a Substitute Teacher and Remedial Reading Tutor for fifth and sixth graders while in college. I have worked as a Sunday School Teacher

I believe education should be student centered. Learners need to develop their ability to think logically and creatively so they may enjoy the learning process. I give immediate feedback and positive reinforcements so that students are motivated to participate actively in their education. I use a variety of activities and materials to explain content. Students possess different learning styles and achievement can be accomplished if the learner understands the material. I lead students in activities that allow them to find the meaning in what they are learning. I set high expectations for my students and give them the resources and support they need to reach those goals. This enables the students to develop a positive self-perception. I have earned a BSE from Missouri Baptist University in education and hold a valid Missouri Teaching Certificate. My training at Missouri Baptist University

As a tutor with Webster University's student literacy corps, I worked with individuals, pre-K-adult, on reading, literacy, and writing skills. I held this position for two years along with a summer position tutoring Algebra and French with HEC Upward Bound, which service at-risk youth. I found both programs extremely enjoyable and found that all of my students were eager to learn and improve their skill set. It has been my experience that each student has his/her individuals needs and that each learns differently. Thus, I make a conscious effort to sit down privately with each of my students so that we can address his/her concerns effectively and put together a constructive plan to improve his/her skill set.

Since I have been coaching, I knew that I wanted to continue with passing on my knowledge to others. I believe that through teaching the passing of my knowledge can be most rewarding. Although I have worked with students in various fields and of various ages, I get the most satisfaction from watching a student succeed from diligent hard work and personal commitment to learning the task at hand. I feel that tutoring in a one-on-one setting best exemplifies this. Throughout my college years, I was involved in coaching high school aged students in baseball as well as younger kids in a baseball camp. During my last year of college, I helped with a after school tutoring program that included students up to the sixth grade. All subjects were covered and tutoring was done in one-on-one as well as small group settings. My bachelor's degree is from a self designed major I had developed to best fi

Teaching is in my blood. Nothing thrills me more than the light I see in a student’s eyes as he or she understands a concept for the first time. I enjoy teaching in a small group setting or one on one. I like to set goals and learning objectives based on the individual student’s needs and learning style. I am flexible and patient as I teach. I like to challenge my students to do their best without pressuring them beyond their capabilities. I enjoy investing in the lives of others through teaching. Majoring in communications in college exposed me to a variety of literature. I took classes in English, script writing, and literature. I also learned about vocal production and public speaking.

I have always possessed the desire, dedication and discipline to encourage students to achieve success, while actively responding to total school needs. I try to bring out the best in my students by maintaing the learning standards in the environment which encourages positive risk taking and active student particapation. I belive in using a variety of creative lessons by teaching the "facts" but leading the students to synthesize and reflect on issues. Teaching is my passion.

I believe in motivation and positive reinforcement to help students reach their full potential. I want each student to know that his/her opinion is valued and important. I strive to teach students to think critically and to learn how to learn, rather than how to memorize. I want to instill self-esteem in the learning process and make it a part of the student's daily life. I am patient and driven. As a practicing attorney, I have spent the past four years teaching my clients to navigate the often intimidating legal process.

My goal is to help children in any context that I can. Although I have my sights set on being a pediatric neurologist, my vision encompasses more than this end. I have worked with children from ages 3 to 16 starting from the time that I was a sophomore in high school to the present. I have served a diverse array of roles, such as summer camp counselor, patient care associate at St. Louis Children's Hospital, and a mathematics teacher at an inner city school in St. Louis. My goal is to help a child with whatever they need help with, whether it is social, academic, or personal, and I am ambitious to find more ways to help others by using my talents. My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educating s
