I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help children in any way I can to meet their academic goals, I know what it is like to have to study hard for what you want to accomplish. Being 25 I feel, and just being a graduate myself, I think can be a way to relate to the children and what they are trying to achieve. I would love to gain this type of experience and would really enjoy this type of work. I also have had a lot of psychology classes and feel that I am good at connecting with people and understanding the problems they are trying to get through.

I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing. Having already a strong knowledge of English studies this experience has further aided my skills in grammar, analytical input, as well as in reading and writing practices. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude I am confident in my literary experience and my ability to pass it on to children of all ages. This knowledge has been greatly reinforced by my prior position as a teacher's assistant for almost two years. I have worked closely with the children on reading, writing, math, and science and greatly enjoy witnessing their accomplishments in these subjects.

During my studies at USU I worked at Adams Elementary both as a Teachers Aid as well as a Mentor during the After School Program. I worked one-on-one as well as in groups of students grade k-5. This position was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable that I've had and would love to continue. I have also taught American Sign Language at the University in their ASL Labs for a year. Everyone has the ability to learn but not everyone has the same ability. Most people are visual or tactile learners whereas most teachers, in my experience, use verbal/aural instruction methods. I believe in tailoring my teaching to the needs of the student and not to what I am most relaxed with. I have personally taught several tactile students who had to have something in their hands or they could not grasp the concepts. Other times I've instructed students in strong visual methods incorporating drawings, ar

When working with a students, I like to set realistic goals and checkpoints for their progress, in order to reach the end goals that the students and/or parents have in mind. It is my desire that students also enjoy the experience and I place a special emphasis on creating an atmosphere of acceptance, free exchange of ideas, patience, cheerfulness, and hopefully even some laughter. In addition, I have found that students have many different styles of learning, which is why I tend to try several different methods for explaining concepts in order to discover each student's learning style to better serve their individual needs. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities which covered a wide range of subject matter. In addition, I have completed extensive coursework in Information Technology, Visual Arts, Multimedia, and Music. Having such a broad academic background has proved benef

My teaching style is simple; anyone can learn the creative process as long as the instruction is thought provoking and student focused. To construct such an environment, I meet with each student on a individual level to find out their educational goals and existing experience in order to provide a direct plan of teaching and continue with continual feedback during class sessions. My classroom is always a positive environment that focuses on diversity and creativity, while prohibiting discrimination on any level. My overall goal in teaching is to give students the working knowledge and confidence to continue their creative process without help. Everyone has a creative voice that can be utilized!

I have always been driven to do well in my studies and have found success helping others achieve their academic goals. Science is so fun and I love helping others understand the complexities of how it all works and fits together. I love working with students to set and accomplish learning goals. I look for ways to make subject matter relevant to each individual by looking for ways it relates to their own life. I enjoy helping each student discover the overarching themes and conquer the details to create a cohesive understanding of subject matter. As an educator, I look to inspire the spirit of discovery and wonder in my students that I have found in studying sciences.
