I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences. I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized throug

All children can learn, and its personalized education sessions that can make all the difference, informing and empowering the child, parent, teacher and future teachers. I have been teaching and working with children for the past 10 years in Montessori Schools, YMCAs, church groups, before and after school programs, city summer programs.

As a substitute teacher, I try to engage the interest of all the students by greeting them by name initially as I welcome them to their classroom. Easing the tension when someone messes up by asmitting that everyone blows it at some point is always a hit. It is understood by all that the day will be different than when their teacher is in the classroom, but that we'll get through together. So, we move through the day making the most of every activity. As a Michigan resident, I was unable to find sny substantial work in the fiels of Social Work once I earned my BA degree. So, I worked in 3-4 school districts over a two year period before gaining full time work with the State. Eventually, in 2006 I lost my position with the state and again returned to substitute teaching. I enjoy young poeple and giving them a strong dose of encouragement even in brief one-day encounters.

My main goal in teaching is to connect personally with the student in a professional manner which enables mutual respect and trust to be built. This kind of teacher-student relationship allows for the best atmosphere in which a student can learn. My first task as a teacher is to find out how the student is motivated, and then to follow through with motivating the student to reach his or her potential (also requiring appropriate levels of achievement). Of course, good communication with the parent and/or classroom teacher who also has goals for the student who is being tutored is imperative.

I describe myself as a "kid magnet". I do this because no matter where I go and what I do children are attracted to me. I interact with children in ways that few other adults can. The children sense that I am very loving, caring, and inquisitive about learning. They know that I understand them. I adjust my teaching style to accommodate what they need to learn as well as the rate at which they understand and apply what they have learned. I know that each child has an untapped potential to learn and that it is up to me in the tutoring situation, to discover this potential and then show them what they have to offer. I have taught in the primary grades on and off for over 14 years. During this time I have taken courses to improve my teaching style as well as learning how to adjust to each child's learning style. I have taken time off from teaching to explore other business adventures. It has

I strive to teach in a person relative manner; I endeavor to incorporate learning style, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement with the hopes of creating an atmosphere of exchange and desire for learning. I have been very fortunate to have had many in my own life that have made the same investment in me, which has, inturn, influenced me to teach in the same way. I have a very diverse background and have been very fortunate in my path of gaining experience as well as education. In my professional life, I have worked in sales, business development as well as management.
