As a professional in the field of physical education it is my obligation to change the way physical education is perceived in our society. The purpose of Physical Education is to help children develop the skills they will need for becoming functionally active and healthy people in society.

As a part of my personal teaching style I believe that I need to have multiple ways of teaching material since many students have different ways of learning. I believe that educators need to be professional in order for students to conduct themselves in a professional manner. In order to teach successfully, there needs to be involvement of students’ families. Students not only learn at school but also at home. Families should be aware of any concerns, problems, or especially if their child is excelling. I believe it is important to teach students how to evaluate themselves and even learn how to become internally motivated as well as independent. I have worked with students with different ability levels in many different settings. I received my BS from Canisius College in Childhood Education and Special Education grades 1-6. I am also currently completing my MS at Buffalo State College in

Growing up, I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. After taking a job as a Childcare Counselor with the YMCA, I realized the I was meant to teach and work with children.

Apart from baseball, my second love is education. I feel that every student has the ability to grasp a subject or a certain idea. It is all a matter of finding out how that student learns. My main style of teaching is threw the Socratic method of dialogue and real world examples. However, I am very open minded, patient, out going, and I am not satisfied with doing things one-way. There are many different ways to climb a mountain but it is important to know the most productive. After graduating from Jacksonville University with a BS in Business Administration, I joined the field of professional baseball. I have been playing professionally in the Tampa Bay Rays’ organization for the past 5 seasons.

I have a versatile background that began with two business degrees and progressed to a professional career in purchasing and sales. I discovered along the way that my true passion was teaching and I can be more effective in a tutoring one-on-one situation than a classroom setting. I am highly proficient and have tutored nearly all subjects and grade levels. Teach a man to fish...is for life. Tutoring is the same, especially with younger children. I haven't met a student yet who is unable to learn. My job is to find the method that will best enable students to self-actualize their learning. A success is converting the child's approach and passion for learning. If I helped to change the child's mind about learning, I have literally altered the course of his/her life in a positive way.

I love to work with students of all ages, especially children. I am kind, patient, and enthusiastic about the process of learning and living. I believe it is essential to offer an environment that creates an upwards spiral and wide web of learning through utilizing methodologies like that of Vygotsky’s Scaffolding and a Montessori Approach, as well as employing ideologies from John Dewey, Alvin Johnson and Margret Wheatley – that when you learn what you love then you will realize that everything else that need be learned is intricately connected to each other. I have a creative essence that allows me to teach with ease and students to learn and be successful in every area of their education.
