Based first and foremost on my studies of geography in academia, I have also become an expert in geography both in modern times and in the geography and national border-lines of the past due to my extensive and long travels through America, Central, Latin & South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, learning the histories of each region as I passed through.

I believe that each child learns in his or her own way and you, as a teacher, must provide opportunities for all students to learn. I believe teachers must be flexible and willing to change plans to accomodate the needs and interests of the class. I believe that children need to be given a good foundation especially in reading. Reading is the most important skill because without reading students will have difficulty in all other subjects. I have been teaching for 15 years. If children are taught to read the right way they will not have problems later on. Difficulties should be caught early in order to help students overcome them. I have been tutoring for two years.

I enjoy working with children and being actively involved as they progress in their journey of learning. I believe that all children have the ability to learn. As a teacher, it is my duty to identify the particular learning style each student uses to learn and succeed. I believe that if a child is given a patient teacher, an environment that encourages learning, and is recognized when they succeed, any child can succeed and learn what is needed to become our future leaders. I have been given the opportunity to teach elementary education for a total of 4 years. During this time I have taught 1st grade and 5th grade. In addition, I also have 4 years experience in special education-Resource.

Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along with my siblings and the twenty other children that ran in and out of our home. I believe strongly in a teaching method that provides encouragement and positivism; one that highlights the good before pointing out the mistakes. My goal is to listen to the child and hear what his or her needs are and where he or she is struggling, and then to actively tackle one issue at a time through creative and interactive activities, problem-solving, and constructive criticism. I believe in children, their innocence, their carefree energy and endless intelligent ideas and innovations. My ultimate goal in life is to make a difference, and children are a great place to start! Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I wa

Throughout my experience as a teacher, I learned that all students are able to learn. It has been a tremendous experience to learn that I can contribute something useful and meaningful to my learners. I know that when I started teaching and when I was enrolled in the UH teacher education program, I knew that teaching was a passion. Nothing is more rewarding then to see someone accomplish and reach their destiny as planned. In addition to working with students, I also gained a lot of useful strategies working with student teachers. I learned that being a mentor meant more than just being teachers in the room. For instance, in everything that is done in the classroom, students shall be able to see that we teachers are modeling effective skills in working cooperatively with each other. My main focus in teaching is to teach in a constructivist approach. I always believe that students are th
