I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, with experience tutoring at Tennessee Temple University, as well as University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, in various topics, including biodiversity, mathematics (up to pre-calculus), history, and American Sign Language. I continue to study in my personal time as many topics as possible, with the belief that a good tutor is firstly a good student. I allow my teaching style to mold itself to each individual student, finding methods of communicating the information that best suit the learning style of my student. I favor a holistic approach to learning, believing that education should be of the whole person. If a student learns how a skill in his tutoring session can be applied in real life, then his or her perception of the subject may fundamentally improve.

As an English teacher with an advanced degree in teaching from Emory University, I have taught students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. In addition to my BA in English, I also have a concentration in creative writing from the University Connecticut. My skills in teaching writing and grammar and analyzing literature have been honed over the years. I also have taken seven years of French and feel confident tutoring students through their third or fourth year. Having taught a variety of children, those with IEPs and learning disabilities to honors students, I have developed a variety of strategies to accelerate the learning process, mostly through differentiated instruction. Trying a variety of methods to access a child's learning style is key. Tutoring one on one or in a small group allows me to discover this and capitalize on it even more quickly than in a larger classroom.

I have experience at all levels in special education. I am certified in elementary education with a concentration in special education for K-12. I am efficient with basic sign language. I am not fluent, but know roughly 100 signs. I often use sign language as a form of teaching. I find that the visual aid assists in recalling a student's memory, especially with those who have forms of learning disabilities. I sincerely enjoy teaching one on one and love watching students reach success. I love teaching and working with all children. I find it fascinating that each child's method of learning is different for each and every one. Helping a child discover what their unique way of learning is and helping them use tools to maximize their learning methods to the fullest is truly rewarding.

Each of my students has a differing level of strength in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is my responsibility to go beyond teaching the curriculum. I am willing to teach each individual, regardless of their circumstances and perspectives. By becoming aware of my students’ needs and interests I begin to enable each student to work at their own higher level of thought, problem solving and production. I provide a variety of ways for the students to successfully accomplish the tasks at hand. I motivate them and allow them to express what they have learned, thereby letting me know what they know. I have an AA degree in Elementary Education and specialize in ESE students and reading. I have created my own lesson plans as well as taught in front of elementary and middle school students in micro-teach lessons and while substituting for teachers.

As a graduate of a prestigious college, I was inspired to change my major from music education to elementary education. This choice was made due to the growing decline in students level of achievement in reading. I have my degree in elementary education and also a special certification from NASA with an emphasis in mathematics and reading. During the last eight years I have tutored students through after school programs,Sylvan Learning, and also through individual tutoring through my home. I enjoy teaching to the utmost level. I know my strengths lie primarily in students who are of the kindergarten through fourth grade levels. I feel students should have the opportunity to be themselves and is why I enforce a learning enviornment that is condusive to being independent learners.

As a graduate of Jacksonville University, I feel I received an excellent education and want to give back to the community. There is not enough emphasis placed on education as it was during my growing up years. I fear that the focus has turned and it is centered on sports not academics. I feel there can be a happy medium reach in which students can get and experience the best of both worlds. I achieved in sports and academics but I made it my mission and promise to myself to graduate with honors. There is a whole world out there to learn about through education and if the learning process is done where the child is both motivated and shows a definite interest, it becomes a win-win situation. I like to teach using everyday life experiences and things that are relative to the tutee. One can read MacBeth and other writers from the past and still be motivated to learn. I don't believe

My teaching style depends on the age group or crowd that I am teaching, but overall I am consistent, tactful, and informative. As a teacher it is my responsibility to ensure that my quality of teaching is up to par with my students abilities and that the communication levels are excellent.

I try to relate well to and form good relationships with my students. I have learned through my own experiences and through UCF, various teaching styles; however, the most important element in my style is to listen and to adjust to each child and listen to his/her needs. I want them to understand the importance of the material and why they are learning it. I use a lot of positive reinforcement. I have been teaching/tutoring since I was 15 years old. Throughout high school I taught Sunday school and tutored. For a year in college I tutored at a day care center. I also volunteered with children with the Reading Buddies and Dream Center, a center for at-risk children. I taught school in the Netherlands for three months and served a semester at Joan Walker Elementary teaching kindergarten and third grade. Currently, I am teaching a fifth grade class of 28 students, 10 of whom are SLD.
