My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I believe that all children can learn when you consider what kind of learner they are. I believe that most children have to experience learning through many facets; hearing, touching, seeing and discovery. I also believe that children need to be empowered to learn so that through daily activity their confidence and self-esteem is cultivated, nurtured so that potential can be met and possibly exceeded. I strive to assist individuals to meet and exceed their potential, build confidence and empower people to be autonomous. I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Ps

Since each child learns differently and has a unique way of understanding information, I have used many modalities in the course of my teaching. Most recently, teaching young children with specified learning disabilities has taught me to try a variety of activities to facilitate learning. I have learned to be more patient, to take a greater amount of time in explaination and teaching, and to use more hands-on materials to aid in understanding of what is being taught. As a Graduate in the field of Education, I have worked with a variety of students from daycare up to grade 8. I have also had the opportunity to teach children with specified learning disabilities, most common being Autism and ADHD.

I love teaching and working with students. My teaching style most closely aligns with the demonstrator style. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. My teaching is performed with patience, persistence, and compassion. I am very easy going. As a Lehigh University graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education.

My lessons are creative and are formed in alignment with the PA standards to provide my students with significant progress in the classroom. I believe it's important to understand the different learning styles and strengths that students bring to the classroom.

Although I have just received my teaching certification in Elementary and Special Education, I have had experience in teaching a variety of elementary age students, including some with disabilities. I truly believe that my field time interacting with teachers and students has had a positive impact on the type of teacher I will become. The additional exposure I have gained outside the classroom, swim instructor, coach and team captain, have also provided me the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of children, young adults and parents. These life experiences have helped develop my interpersonal skills and compassion towards the teaching profession, which will help me to become a more insightful and effective educator.

Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I would encourage my students to let them tell me as much as they possibly can about their problems, wants, and needs. I, as a teacher, am a role model to be trusted, and I would like my students to put their faith in me as their leader, role model, and hero. I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system.
