I have my Masters Degree in Drawing and Painting and my Undergraduate Degree in Studio Art. I continually produce artwork professionally which can be viewed on my website: Jessicafife.com. I frequently exhibit in my city Long Beach, Los Angeles, surrounding cities, nationally and online. I served as a Teaching Associate at Cal State Fullerton from 2009-2010.

During my teaching term there I successfully wrote the curriculum for every course, including foundational technical methods with modern concepts, with a variety of media. In my Life Drawing classes, students were taught core traditional methods, ranging from Anatomy, 8-head-high figure measurement to Composition and light and shadow shapes. My classes included elements that created a well-rounded educational experienc

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I am a fun teacher and enjoy tricking students into learning. I have developed games, songs, and various devices which attract attention and result in learning, regardless of whether the student even notices. I have a knack for revising sentences or instructions to captivate attention which encourages the student to answer or start writing immediately. They become known for getting dependent on doing their homework with me, but eventually I cease being an enabler once the result of our efforts start producing better grades. I have tutored many years in Calif., but have not done so since arriving in Madison, TN. I have Canadian credentials, but the JD enabled me to quickly acquire a college position in Nashville. I taught English, which is my major from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I know I am an excellent tutor, having taken several children from D's & F's to B's and

I love to work with children because it allows me to use my creativity. I tend to use a more kinesethic, hands-on approach in my teaching. I believe that when children are able to have the subject matter displayed to them in a 3D format, they are able to comprehend it's use in the real world. It also keeps their attention span active. For example, once when working on fractions with a student I brought in playdoh that we shaped into a pie. The child was able to create the fractions with their hands and was excited about taking pieces away and counting what was left in the pie. For me, the experience of seeing a child's eyes light up when they are finally able to comprehend something is very rewarding. I have always had a passion for educating children. I attended two different colleges and I value the experience and skills provided by both institutions. I spent two years at the Univers

I have worked with children at all different ages, as well as children with largely varying developmental levels. I believe that encouraging children when they do well is absolutely necessary to effective learning. I also learn each child's disposition so that I can develop effective ways to redirect when they are not on the right path. I wholeheartedly believe that to get the respect that comes with a child trusting me enough to learn from me, I must show 100% respect to that child; it is an even exchange. I truly care about children, their well-being, and their futures and I know that when I interact with children, they recognize my sincerity and are therefore able to trust, and learn. I have a strong desire to continue utilizing my critical and inferential thinking skills, interpersonal communication skills (oral and written), comprehensive scope of clinical skills, and knowledge o

Students respond to my combination of structure, creativity and enthusiasm. Positive reinforcement is a key element to my teaching style. All students need encouragement and maintaining a positive attitude at all times helps ensure success. I enjoy seeing the progress of students and take pride in knowing that I took part in the process. While tutoring elementary school students in Detroit during college, I discovered a passion for teaching. Since then, I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. My experiences include teaching English abroad, coordinating an after-school program, mentoring at-risk teenagers and working in preschools. In addition, I have worked as a counselor at summer camps and volunteer with the Big Brothers program.

Although I am new to teaching, I have worked with children for the past twenty-three years as a tutor, mentor, choir director, Sunday school teacher, or Girl Scout Leader. I have always enjoyed working with children and I love teaching. It gives me great pleasure to help a child figure out their own learning style, use it, and accomplish what was once thought impossible. I am patient, open-minded, and flexible. My goal is to help your child learn how to learn and apply themselves to get the best education possible. I believe that visuals and hands-on activities are essential to learning and remembering what was learned. I believe that all students have the ability to make goals and meet them if given the necessary tools. As your child's teacher, I will strive to make a difference in your child's education.

My life has been changed by art. As a child I took art lessons and learned that creativity is much more than making art. Creativity is a way to train your mind to think outside the box. Creativity can be applied to communicating and problem solving in many areas. I come from a family of educators. As a member of the Art Alliance I mentored fellow students on their work and helped them create a cohesive body of work and their artistic voice. I applied this knowledge in instructing the Model United Nations course. Although not directly art related, teaching the same critical thinking skills involved with debate helped me strengthen my skills in teaching and understanding education. I hold a Bachelors degree in fine arts with a Painting emphasis and a double minor in Sculpture and Political Science. Both were received from Middle Tennessee State University. I was a senior member of the Mid

I am an advocate for the arts and feel that using creative arts while teaching provides students with multiple ways of learning and expressing the material being taught. Also, in order for students to become successful in society they must learn to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. These skills, as opposed to focusing on content knowledge only, will facilitate life-long learning. Content knowledge should not be forgotten. However, developing critical thinking skills is essential to make appropriate decisions by processing facts and knowledge that they have attained. Instead of concentrating solely on the “right” answer, I will have student-lead discussions to determine how a solution was reached. This will allow students of all abilities to reach an understanding of the subject matter by focusing on the process instead of merely the end result. I am also a compassi

I believe that all children, given the proper setting and motivation, can be successful students. I love talking with students and finding the things that make them tick. Once I find that, motivation is relatively easy and the rewards are great for the student and for myself. I believe strongly in instrinsic motivation and in a creative style of teaching given the interests of the student. Nothing pleases me more than seeing a smile come across the face of a struggling student when the lightbulb goes on. I try to not only teach students how to succeed but how to excel once they feel confident with the material. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English. I worked for 10 years in the Athletic Academic Support Center holding study hall and providing academic support to student athletes from all sports. In addition, I worked for a short time tutoring middle school students after school last
