I enjoy the diversity and demographics of teaching all age groups. Typically I allow the student to influence the teaching style once a greater understanding of their learning strengths (audio/visual) is determined. Often a variety of methods are required and this is dependant of learning objectives. Above I want the student to benefit from the session/s so feedback is essential.

My teaching style with younger children is to have a relaxed setting where no pressure in placed upon the student. I'm always sure to review my material before going into a new lecture. When a student is not understanding the material I try to use many methods for then to gain a better understanding. When I was younger it was easier for me to understand information if I can relate it to my life, so I will apply the same methods with teaching others. As a college student I am still striving for my goal and dream of becoming a veterinarian. I have always been a mentor in my community and willing to help others where they need help. My favorite subjects throughout grade school include math and science, in which I have excelled in both by being placed in honor level classes throughout high school. I have tutored many students in math, science and elementary level reading.

My first job out of graduate school was as an adjunct history instructor at Columbus State University. I did all of the planning, lecturing, and grading for my classes. As an instructor, I have had experience proofreading student papers as well as giving suggestions on grammar and format. In my most recent position, I reviewed resumes for clients who were leaving the military and seeking civilian employment. I had to be mindful of correct grammar in civilian and federal resumes. In addition, in both positions, I had to deliver my constructive criticism to my students and clients in a tactful manner so that they would be open to suggestions. I also possess superb public speaking skills and enjoy working with small or larger groups of students/clients. As an adjunct instructor, I did not only lecture, but also invited guest speakers, assigned group projects, and used films and music

My teaching style follows my personality. I am a hard worker, therefore I expect hard work in return from my students. I have always been described as one who explains concepts in a manner that is easy to understand, and I feel that this is a result of utilizing the "common sense" approach to problem solving. Being from the Union Springs area, I am very interested in helping the local children succeed in school and be positive contributors to their environment. As a graduate student at the University of Alabama I instructed 3 college level physical geography laboratory sections per semester.
