July 2011 I graduated from University of West Georgia in Carrollton with a B.S. in Middle Grades Education. I began substituting for the Heard County School System in August 2011. When I was in middle and high school, I served as a peer tutor. I guess you can say that I have always had a desire to teach. Just as everyone has their own learning style, teachers have their own teaching style. I see my style as more hands on. When I create lesson plans, I like to think outside the box and find ways that motivate students in connection to their interests.

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. I am a great learner and adaptor to the client's needs. Since 1999 I have tutored in many formats and venues entailing; elementary students, college students and adult learners. From 1999 to 2001 taught sociology courses at Auburn University as Graduate Assistant, and from 2003-2005 K - 8 students reading comprehension and English Arts.

My parents were both educators and my daughter is a professor, so I can say in all honesty that education has been a most important aspect of my life. I have been very successful as a college instructor and a tax school teacher. I do not have any tutoring experience but with my love of education and my own work ethic I know I can be instrumental in a students academic success. My teaching style is based on my belief that my purpose is that the student learn the material. If that means backtracking and presenting the material in a different manner or using more examples then that is what I will do. Especially in math and accounting, the building blocks must be solid in order to advance so I do concentrate on each step being strong.
