My teaching style is highly interactive and engaged. The relationship between student and teacher is based on mutual respect for our respective capabilities. An important first step in teaching, and particularly in introducing new material, is to construct a frame of reference familiar to the student, and then begin to expand that frame to enhance conceptualization and mastery of new skills and knowledge. As a parent of four, educator,education advocate and mentor, I have spent most of my adult life working with young people in various learning enviroments. I have a love for and commitment to educational preparedness for students of every learning level. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree, the Master of Social Sciences degree, a Master of Arts degree, and will receive the Ph.D degree in Educational Innovation and Human Development in May 2010.

I initially began my college career with an interest in English and Journalism and have passions that include writing and literature. I absolutely love working with children in an attempt to help them to realize the value of a quality education.

I believe that every child has a natural desire and ability to learn. When I teach I focus on the students' interests and give them as much free choice as possible in order to encourage their natural sense of wonder and to maintain a warm environment. That said, I consistently expect high standards of achievement and behavior. I also endeavor to use different learning methods incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic tools, which allow for the varied learning styles of different students. My goal is to teach high school English. I have several years experience working with youth in teaching roles, including tutoring both math and english. For 11 months in Ecuador I taught English, Health, Phys. Ed., and career skills to elementary school working children and literacy to their parents. Other experiences include 6 weeks teaching project management and career skills to high sc

I began tutoring in the third grade after I was accepted into Independent Study Classes. I was selected to tutor my fellow classmates in spelling and reading comprehension. My volunteer tutoring continued throughout my grade school years and into my higher education career. Once in college, I was hired as a mental health worker and tutor to austitic children. I have always excelled in reading comprehension, writing skills, and English communication classes. These skills have aided me in my pursuit of higher education with a focus on the Psychology and Sociology disciplines. The duties for my current position at the Medical College of Georgia Cancer Center include reading new research studies, writing descript summaries of new research studies, and preparing various documents to submit before the Institutional Review Board of the Medical College of Georgia.

Since elementary school, I have known the value of a good education and I have always had a strong drive and love for learning. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science and a master's degree in Applied Exercise Physiology, which has allowed me to attain knowledge in diverse areas of science. Also, I have acquired extensive composition skills due to scientific research/laboratory reports, as well as essay assignments in my other areas of study. During the last five years I have taught collegiate classes, and for three years before that I volunteered my time at a church outreach group in tutoring elementary and high school children in English, mathemathics, and various sciences. I love working with children of all ages. I understand that all children have a different way of learning, which does not make them "special", but unique as individuals. I am very patie

I have earned a BS in Physical Education. My major was Athletic Training, which has prepared me to gain extensive knowledge in Biology and Anatomy & Phys. I also have prior tutoring experience helping with students at my church and family members who were younger than me. I have helped tutor students with all major subjects. I am a patient, understanding, and considerate person. I love the sight of a child learning something after a person takes the time to show the steps. At the moment, I am unemployed throughout the week so i can meet with a child/children whenever they need me. I also can help a child through their personal problems because it is not always that a child does not understand the information; sometimes they have other things affecting their lives. I want to be able to make a difference in a child life forever.

My philosophy on education is built around the belief that every child can learn if provided an adequate environment and opportunity. Not all students are traditional learners. I attempt to reach children by teaching them the way that they learn best. Teaching does not have to be rigid and structured for it to be purposeful and goal oriented. All children can succeed given the right motivation. I graduated suma cum laude from Claflin University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2004. From there I took a long term substitute position in an elementary school. During this time, I became a tutor in the school's EAA after school program where I worked exclusively with at-risk readers. Upon leaving that position, I was hired to teach a group of at-risk sixth graders. I taught ELA and a reading recovery class. I also tutored in the EAA after school program. I held this positio

I am a graduate of Eckerd College, in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I received a B.A. with Honors in History and Theater. As a result of my academic achievement, I was awarded the Excellence in Historical Scholarship Award and was a finalist for the 2007 Writing Excellence Award. Upon my graduation from college, I was accepted into Teach for America's 2007 Atlanta Corps. During my two-year commitment with Teach for America, I taught sixth grade Social Studies at the B.E.S.T. Boy's Academy. As a teacher, I also tutored students after school in writing and reading. As a teacher I witnessed first hand the challenges students face in public schools. Due to the importance placed on standardized tests, students are often taught with a single focus in mind. Often times the different needs and learning styles of students are overlooked or ignored completely. I, on the other hand, prefer to t

I believe that all students have the ability to learn but not in the same way and on the same day. It takes work, but a teacher needs to find what works best for each student to learn. It is essential to utilize the multiple intelligences as well as theories on how boys and girls learn differently. I work well with parents and students, breaking down barriers and working within the parameters that work best. I have a extensive background with teaching and implementation in education. My most current position was the Executive Director of School Improvement and Sales. I have experience analyzing data, working with teams to improve student achievement using research based interventions. I have experience from Elementary to College level.

My style of teaching is always dependent upon my students and where they are congnitively. Teaching is always keeping the best academic interest of your students in mind. Therefore, I almost, always try to provide students with a pre test to see where they are, and I utilize that data to plan for instruction. Data collected allows me to prepare my lessons with the appropriate methods of differentiation for my students.I also like to provide my students with a learning style assessment. My goal is to be able to show students that they are not to become comfortable where they are because there is always room and potential for growth as far as their academic abilities are concerned. As an educator,I enjoy embrassing teachable moments.I began my teaching career with Severely and Profoundly Intellectually Disabled children, who ranged in grade level from K-5.

I enjoy working with children of all ages. I believe that because each child is different, they learn differently, and therefore I must find a teaching style that helps that particular study achieve their maximum ability. I understand that some students are more visual while others may be auditory. I consider myself to be patient and understanding, and I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate tools to assist them. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a recent college graduate, I was very determined to be one of the first college graduates in my family. I earned my BS in Psychology with a minor in Sociology in three years due to my determination, focus, and dedication. I am currently persuing my Masters in Education. I have also learned extensive grammatical and syntax skills due to a large number of research papers a

I believe in consistency in my approach to classroom management, behavior support, and with instruction. Direct Instruction is proven by research to help students who are significantly behind in academic performance. I like to incorporate modeling, giving examples, engaging students, and guided practice before independent work. These strategies enhance student performance. It is also essential to continually check for understanding throughout the lesson. Repetition is pertinent. Without repetition there is no retention. I try to make sure the child is confident about his own ability to achieve or behave. Without motivation and esteem, there is no success. I enjoy working with youth. I consider myself to be an advocate for the rights and needs of youth. My bachelor's and master's degrees are both in special education. I went into the field of special education with the heart t

I enjoy teaching and do my best to make learning fun and easy for my pupils. I approach lessons by letting the student realize how and why the lesson is important and how it relates to their lives. I firmly believe everyone can learn; the style in which they learn may differ from others, but given the correct approach, all teachers/tutors can be successful. With my Bachelor's degree, I began tutoring through Reading Success and conducted private tutoring of Georgia History. I progressed to teaching English, Spanish, and some Special Education Resource classes at the High School level, and continued to teach lower level English classes at a local college along with reading in an Adult Continuing Education program through another college. My writing skills have been sharpened as I edited and wrote articles for newsletters, newspaper releases, and in an administrative capacity.
