Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Patton, MO

I have worked with children from preschool-12th grade both professionally and personally. I get along well with children, and try to hone in on a child's personality and how they learn best. (Visual, Learning by doing, Verbal) I also try to see what issues the child is having problems with - that could be not understanding what is required, or not having mastered certain skills that are necesary to build on to obtain the next level of achievement. I love to motivate and usually bring a reward to students - gum, temporary tattoos, or a cool pen or pencil. I am currently a graduate student in a Clinical Counseling Program. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2002 with a 3.89 GPA, my current graduate GPA is 4.0.

I enjoy assisting students in reaching their goals, and feel all students can learn. I feel education is more important than ever and enjoy working closely with students by giving them personal support and encouragement to be successful in learning.

I believe education should be student centered. Learners need to develop their ability to think logically and creatively so they may enjoy the learning process. I give immediate feedback and positive reinforcements so that students are motivated to participate actively in their education. I use a variety of activities and materials to explain content. Students possess different learning styles and achievement can be accomplished if the learner understands the material. I lead students in activities that allow them to find the meaning in what they are learning. I set high expectations for my students and give them the resources and support they need to reach those goals. This enables the students to develop a positive self-perception. I have earned a BSE from Missouri Baptist University in education and hold a valid Missouri Teaching Certificate. My training at Missouri Baptist University
