A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a bachelors degree in Elementary Education with special attention to reading from Purdue University. In Aug. 2008-May 2009 I taught kindergarten at West Grove Elementary in Center Grove Community School Corporation. During this time I filled in for two teachers on extended leaves. This experience allowed me to gain knowledge about teaching and how to instruct diverse students. I learned many different teaching strategies, including differentiation and integration with multiple subjects. I learned many ways to help students with phonics, reading, writing and math skills at the kindergarten level. Towards the end of the school year when the kindergarten teachers returned I subbed throughout the district in all grade levels, K-6.
Teaching children is a passion of mine. All children are different, therefore they learn in many ways. I believe it is essential to include various ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style is relaxed, but focused, with a touch of humor to ease nerves. The first step is creating comfort and trust between the student and the tutor. To do this, when coaching Chemistry, I would have the student present a problem. Then, I'd say, well, let's figure this out together. And, truly, that is what we would do, step by step, by asking questions. What do we know? What do we need to figure out? Essentially showing them the thought process out loud, and involving them in obtaining the solution. This approach helps develop confidence. Repeating creates familiarity. Eventually, most students become confident enough to try one on their own, and my role becomes encourager, light-hearted and sincere.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a college graduate from a private, liberal arts institution, I was very much driven to achieve high levels of excellence in many areas of the world of education. I have earned a Bachelors degree in finance, which has enabled me to have a great understanding of many areas of math and business. By taking a diverse course schedule in many areas, including a focus on grammatical, historical, psychological and ethical areas has led me to develop a vast array of knowledge. Along with tutoring, I have coached youth sports in the area for the past five years.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe that all children can learn, but each in their own unique way. My life has been based on a respect for people of all ages and abilities. Based on this, I believe that teacher and student in any situation can stand to respect and learn from each other in different ways. I bel ... read more

A good education is most important for a child to succeed in today's world. Children have different personalities, interests, and learning styles.

Today's schools offer career centers, high school universities, special education, night schools, and specialized alternative education programs. Each student should be able to succeed given the course of direction to achieve his educational goals. We are there to help students succeed by offering them guidance, support and encouragement to reach their dream.

I like to have a relationship with the students I tutored where they feel comfortable with me; I want them to be able to tell me the problems they're having with the work and what I can do to help. I like to be friendly with them while still being an authority figure where they want to do their best. I think this type of relationship allows me to push the students to their maximum limit without discouraging them when we're having a difficult session.
I worked at LearningRX as a cognitive skills trainer where I worked with students who were having difficulty in school and I was able to find their areas of difficulty and help build those areas up while also helping with their memory, visual acuity, and processing speed.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate assistant, I was effective at assisting students in understanding complex material in Speech Communications. My focus is always on the student, attempting to understand how that particular individual learns. Once I have an understanding of a person's learning style, I then hone in to help the student progress in the area of study. Through writing research papers, business plans, markerting plans, websites, I have developed advanced grammatical skills.
I love assisting children and young adults and seeing them advance in their learning skills. Your child's success is my primary objective. Helping them understand how they learn and developing their own learning style is the goal. There is not a child who cannot learn given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I will make a difference in the lives of the children with whom I work.

A Little Bit About Me...

While pursuing my Master of Arts at Ohio University, I worked as a long-term substitute teacher as a Title 1 Reading Specialist. I enjoyed this work immensely and focused on grades 1-5. In these tri-weekly sessions, we practiced our reading skills and built our vocabulary. During the 2008-2009 school year, I tutored 4th & 5th graders in reading at IPS #78. This tutoring program was offered through the United Way of Central Indiana's ReadUp program, which encourages reading skills. In grades 1-3 we learn to read. Beginning in grade 4, we read to learn. My professional background in not-for-profit fundraising has allowed me to use my excellent communication skills - both speaking and writing - on a daily basis. I value education and spend most of my leisure time reading novels. I would like to continue to educate local youth to improve their reading skills and encourage of lif ... read more
