First we get to know each other. Often I can create examples to illustrate problems based on the student's interests and experience. If you had any trouble on a recent test or homework assignment, we can begin by reviewing any problems you might have had on those. I will show you why the correct answers are right, and why the wrong answers are wrong. I am an excellent listener, and I always find a way to make the lessons fun.

I am a firm believer in differentiation. I am a very structured instructor, but I will adjust at a moment's notice if a lesson needs to be changed to be more effective. I also believe that it is the teacher's actions that control the student's actions, and it is this believes that causes me to constantly reflect on the day's events and the student's progress. I instruct using methods that cause students to be engaged in various ways and on multiple levels. Group work and class discussions often are integrated into my daily routines. After finishing student teaching, getting certified to teach in Pennsylvania, and graduating from Moravian College, I joined Teach for America and committed two years to closing the achievement gap.

I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typically working with what are known as the "at risk" students. However, I eventually found my way into the classroom as It was noticed that I had a natural ability to balance teaching in the content area and managing behaviors. I loved math all of my life and even found myself tutoring fellow college classmates. I have been teaching math now for 6 years and have been the lead math teacher in every school that I taught for. My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not

I love working with all children. I believe that every child has the potential to learn and I try very hard to find out what works for the individual learner. I am patient, easy-going, but I expect my students to set goals and put forth the effort required to meet them. I tend to take a constructivist approach to learning and like to draw on my students prior knowledge and experiences as well as their interests. I believe that I can make a difference in a child's life and I enjoy helping children establish a love for learning.

I have become very adept at determining what level each student is at and tailoring my teaching style to suit the students that I am working with. In a class of over 20, I was able to reach each student with modified lessons and assignments. In the case of individual tutoring, I move at a rate that challenges the student while giving them ample opportunities to feel successful. I enjoy encouraging students to work to their best ability and am excellent at finding ways to motivate students who are stuck, bored, or find the topic too challenging. I have tutored at the middle, high school, and college levels since my first year of college in 2004. Since then, I have worked as a paraeducator for the Special Education Dept. of an elementary school where I worked with first and second graders. For my student teaching experience, I was an intern for a full year at a city middle school, work
