I have over a decade of experience working with both regular education students and those with exceptionalities. I have worked with elementary and middle school level students in all subject areas. My strengths are in reading and math. I am ESOL endorsed and can help children struggling with English experience success. I believe students have different learning styles, and I can adapt lessons based on their individual style and needs. I can challenge students without overwhelming them and causing balking or "burnout". I quickly establish a rapport by making the student feel at ease. By identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses I can help them without wasting time on skills they already have.

My belief is in the child. I am extremely patient and loving. The child sets the pace at which we learn and we would not move on to the next subject until the child completely understands the material. Hello, I have been a teacher in central Florida for 6 years. I have always taught at the middle school leve, although my student teaching was done at the High school level. Prior to becoming a teacher I served 5 years in the U.S. Navy. I have also worked with Juinor Acheivement and the Boys and Girls club of America.

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I started teaching in the fall of 1985 in Tampa. After that first year I moved and I taught a few years in Ohio. In 1989 I moved to Brevard County and worked as an elementary school teacher. I received my degree in Educational Leadership in 1996. I now tutor and work part time with small groups. My belief is that all students want to learn. We as teachers must find the way they need to learn. I truly love to teach. I try to relate to the whole child and find which learning style meets his or her needs. I am extremely proud of the response I have received over the pass 20 years.

Very hands on type of person. I am the type of person that needs visual reminders to get my work done. I know that everyone learns in different capacities so I try to incorporate that into my teaching style. I work on identifying the students learning style and then we go from there. I am currently working at Challenger 7 Elementary School as the only Guidance Counselor. I have created a study group club with students that need study skills, organizational skills or assistance getting their work done! I have been employed as a substitute teacher and mental health counselor in the past. I enjoy working with students because a lot of their stress is due to frustration of not knowing a concept. If you work with the students on their frustration you begin to see improvement in their grades!

Ever since I was in sixth grade, I have had opportunities to help children learn and see the benefits first hand from what I taught them. When I graduated from high school, I followed a different career path, but after a terrible car accident that left me unable to fly airplanes, I made a decision to go back to school and follow my love for teaching children. When I graduated from University of Central Florida at age 31 I was blessed to learn I was going to have my first child. I decided it was not the right time for me to teach full time, so I substituted in Brevard County schools, tutored many children, and raised 3 boys of my own. I know that I bring life skills, patience, and love along with my teaching credentials to help any child that may need me. I do not have a particular teaching style. I am trained to teach different styles, but it is my goal to get to know every child as
