I believe in a communicative, student-centered teaching approach. In my classes I develop creative, hands-on curriculum materials that reach every student’s learning style and ability. I incorporate a variety of methods to accommodate students via visual, audio, tactile and kinesthetic methods. I also endeavor to guide my second language students toward comprehension, retaining language concepts, and taking increased responsibility for learning by providing topics of individual interest and using authentic materials. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative and supportive environment in which each student feels safe, secure, special and appropriately challenged. Language competence is my specialty and my educational passion. My credentials include a BA is in Journalism with a Spanish minor and a MAT with both a Spanish concentration and TESOL endorsement.

I have a son who was born with neurofibromatosis is accompanied by a learning disability. My son is now 18 and in his last year of High School. He has been in special education courses since 2nd grade once being diagnosed with his learning challenges. He has had an active IEP since that time and I have worked very closedly with him throughout his school years. I have worked with him on every subject, every project, and encouraged him along the way. Due to his learning and physical disabilities, he has very low self esteem and this causes him to rebel during most homework sessions. It has been a true challenge, but very rewarding when I see him succeed, passing a test, knowing new words, etc.. My son, as I stated earlier can be rebellious, so I have to be very patient with him and always stay positive. I constantly tell him how smart he is, how well he is doing, and I always point

As a lifelong learner, I took on the challenge to complete my Bachelors and Masters degree after working as a professional musician for 15 years. My earlier undergraduate work combined music with a broadcast journalism minor. I have used those skills to write, as well as produce music , videos and edit for television. As a classroom music teacher and administrator, I used computer technology and the arts to teach reading, writing and math. During the past seven years, I have been a community mentor who tutored school age students in English, the arts as well as adults with GED prep. My style is simple and direct. My experience suggests that all students can learn if the teacher can find some common interest point to get the ball rolling. My students are encouraged to be creative in their problem solving. I try to utilize as many age appropriate real life examples to make the learning mor

I believe that an often overlooked quality in teaching is the ability to communicate. As a communication major, with training in associating with all types of people, I am not an academic who would confuse the student. I am a problem solver and can easily adapt to any type of learner. For me, history is undervalued by today's students and I would do my part to ensure that past events and their meanings are explained to your child in a clear, accurate manner. Children need somebody willing to listen to them and someone willing to be patient with their abilities. I feel I would excel at both and want to help make a difference in their lives and help them gain perspective. As a communication major, to go along with my secondary major in history, my strengths lie in the ability to effectively engage with the student to give them a better understanding of history by speaking to them in an eas

My teaching experience has been vast and diverse. After receiving my BA in English from Carnegie Mellon University, I taught English to high school students for six years. As local sales manager for a television station, I trained a staff of eight using a variety of teaching methods including product/ demographic information and effective sales strategies. I have also volunteered my media experience at career seminars, and facilitated workshops at the college level. Currently, I am a substitute teacher, and have taught main stream students as well as those who are academically challenged at the elementary and secondary levels. My teaching style incorporates the belief that each student deserves the opportunity to achieve his/her fullest potential. After assessing the student's understanding of the material, I offer resources and strategies to guide the student to discover and use his/

I am patient, thorough, and respectful of all my students. I make a concerted effort to tailor my teaching style to the needs, interests, and strenghts of each student. I truly believe that each student has the ability to discover, learn, and build upon the skills they already possess through guided tutoring. I also believe that each student deserves constructive criticism and rewards for efforts and goals achieved. It is my personal goal to ensure that each of my students, as they travel through their academic and professional careers, remembers the goals and skills they have developed with my assistance, and how those skills have helped them throughout their academic and personal development. As a recipient of an MA degree in English from KSU, I intend to return to school in the fall to persue a MS degree as a K-12 Intervention Specialist to help high risk students in public schools. A

As an English tutor for the Kent State Writing Commons for four years, I was able to work with a wide variety of students. I enjoyed working with everyone from new entering freshmen to doctoral students. I also worked people in different educational backgrounds and people who were culturally diverse. English as a Second Language (ESL) students were also apart of my daily tutoring regimen. I also have a background which involves working with children ages 6-15. As a childcare provider I taught small classes of children basic reading and writing skills. My teaching style is a “hands on” approach. I like to find out what the student already knows about the subject. I then like to fill in the missing links for the student in a fun, and interactive manner. I discuss any questions that the student has about the material after the initial information is given. I complete the process by going ov

To me, the most important thing is to be a good listener. I usually like to spend the first 5 to 10 minutes with a new student just chatting about their academic life and their study habits. That gives me a good sense of where they are, what areas they will likely be strong in and what areas where they will likely need further development. It also helps the student feel more comfortable. After earning a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in English at Oberlin Colege, I taught for a year as a substitute within the Cleveland Municipal School District. After that, I worked for two years as a tutor with the Tutoring Club in Westlake. I primarily assisted high school students with SAT and ACT prep courses. My specialties were writing and English. I've also worked with helping middle school and high school students develop effective study skills and coming up with a good strategies for tackling h

Striving to make the student feel comfortable is part of my basic repertoire of teaching strategies. I know that when a student does not succeed in a typical classroom environment it is easy for the student to feel negative about learning. Our society is based on the 'cookie cutter' ideology one size fits all. So when I tutor I strive for the student to feel comfortable first. Then I observe the students way of learning and I tailor my style to fit the student. Each student has one to two modalities that they excel in when learning something new - my job is to discover which modalities best serves the student's style of learning. Tutoring students is a big part of teaching. I have always tutored students in my classes and anyone who has asked for my help. I have tutored students on their writing, reading and basic math skills. Being a Special Education teacher has afforded me man
