A Little Bit About Me...

I try to take a hands-on approach to teaching when possible. I find it helpful to use varied and often unusual objects and materials when teaching a lesson; it tends to make the material more memorable. However I am not above using the standard pencil/paper/textbook approach when needed.
I consider myself to be a "beginner" teacher as I have recently graduated college and received my license. I have spent roughly 500 hours in the field as a result of college course requirements, and I have successfully completed a 12 week internship (student teaching) experience. I have had the opportunity to work in many different subject areas and classroom settings with students of various backgrounds, ages, and learning styles.

I love to inspire creativity and push for success!

I love to incorporate creative and outside-the-box approaches in my teaching methods. I genuinely believe that often, to get students to understand material, they need to be interested in the concepts and I try to keep that in mind during my preparation. I also believe it is important to help students learn to become critical thinkers and independent learners, and therefore, I try to push them to achieve success beyond what they believe they are capable of achieving.
I have taught English/Language Arts for 3 years to 6-8 grade students, and I have worked as a tutor in various capacities for the past 7 years. This past summer I opened my own business: a program dedicated to teaching the craft of creative writing to kids. Currently, I am back in school at University of Dayton's online graduate program, with a goal of obtaining my Master's of Literacy.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in engaging students and making learning fun and an adventure. I believe in working with students as equals and striving to put children into positions where they can succeed and where they are able to build on their successes for future success. My philosophy is learining should be fun and learning should be a life long pursuit that continues long after they complete their formal educations. I believe families of students should be involved in this process and play a vital role in their love of learning and education.
I spent 40 years in as a professional in workforce development assisting youth and adults to make educational, professional and career decision. I have written grants to bring in millions of dollars for the state of Ohio and citizens. I have worked as a substitute in Columbus and served for five years as an Ohio Reads tutor in the Columbus and Groveport sc ... read more

I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program for reading. Because I am a school counselor by profession I make sure that I always listen to students and help them overcome any obstacles they may face. I believe that with individual attention all students are capable of excelling in their academics.
During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with thei ... read more

I believe that every child should be given an equal chance to learn. If that means teaching a lesson three different ways to be sure to reach all my students, sometimes that is what it takes. Being flexible is very important in teaching, as it is important to be able to adapt to each student and each class, year to year. I think that all studnets can meet their potential if given appropriate chance and I strive to give students that chance.
I attended The Ohio State University and got my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a concentration in Early Childhood Development. After that I continued my education at Capital University to obtain my teaching license for PK-3 regular classroom education, as well as Intervention Specalist K-12 and a Reading Endorsment K-12.

In high school, I served as a tutor for elementary school students for the state program Ohio Reads. At the University of Pittsburgh, I earned a BA in English Writing with minors in Chemistry and Studio Art. I have extensive experience in technical and laboratory writing, critical analysis, critiques and creative writing from related college coursework. I frequently aided fellow classmates and students in improving their writing independently. I have extensive experience working with the internet, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. I have completed four years of Spanish coursework and can tutor at the elementary and middle school levels.
I believe a supportive environment is critical for an excellent learning experience. First, I work to set up an environment of mutual respect, a place where the student knows I respect him or her and the student respects me. To ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a wide variety of experiences in and out of the classroom with all different types of learners in all different age groups. I have taught preschool, middle school, high school, and adult education classes. In addition, many of my tutor students have been in elementary school. I work best with struggling students, and they have told me and shown me that I effectively helped them. I have tutored students in math, science, social studies, and English. I am certified to teach Biology, general science classes, English, and journalism. Reading and writing have always been my strengths throughout my own studies and jobs, but Biology fascinates me.
I am a teacher of individuals. I believe that people are so different from each other that each student really needs an individualized approach. While this is more challenging in a classroom, it lends itself well to tutoring. I read ... read more
