Elementary Math Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lawrence, NE

I am dedicated, resourceful, and a goal-driven professional; I posses a solid commitment to the social and academic growth and development to every student. I believe that every person has the ability to learn, but it takes a special teacher to find the best way that each student can learn. I believe that all are individual and deserve to be treated as such. Students need to know that they are special and capable of reaching their dreams, as well as know that someone is willing to help them. I have always had an interest in math, science, and social studies along with a desire to help people. Therefore I decided to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. I have 5 years of experience working within a classroom as a Para-educator. My last internship was within a middle school social studies classroom, I had classroom sizes of 31 students. My first fulltime teaching experience was within a

My middle school class would frequently complain that we had already covered something; but their test scores showed that it paid off in the long run! I am a kinesthetic learner and understand how everyone has different learning styles so I incorporate all styles when teaching a lesson.

After receiving my college education I taught my own visual art curriculum in Western Illinois for two years. Here I worked with Elementary students and High School Students. My second favorite subject is Math. I have had the chance to tutor and assist student in Nebraska with my Para position at

During college I had written many psychology research papers and solved an abundance of challenging math problems. I have worked at Mosaic in Axtell, NE for three years. Here I have educated clients on daily living tasks; and provided assistance with daily cares and activities. I train them to be as independent as possible. From July 15, 2010 up until September 15, 2010 I was a substitute teacher for a special education teacher who was on maternity leave. I taught the kids reading, math, oral comprehension, and vocabulary. I conducted summaries to map their progress, and attended meetings that were held to asses if any changes needed to be put in place for the residents. I believe one must be very creative when teaching children because not all children learn the same way and accel at the same rate. I love working with children of all ages. I am organized, patient, and understanding. I r
