Learning about the students I teach and listening to their experiences helps me to consider ways of making course material relevant and fostering critical thinking skills. I am passionate about finding the most effective ways of stimulating and sustaining growth among those who enter my classroom. As a teacher, I am attentive to the fact that learning is a complex process and work to be flexible, adapting my approaches according to the needs of my students.

I began tutoring as a volunteer with the America Reads program in high school. I continued volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club during college. After an opportunity to assist a professor in administering a freshman course, I applied to teach high school in Pasco County. I taught world history and psychology for one year before returning to school for my Master of Arts degree in History. I continued tutoring on the side, but spent most of my time assisting professors in the Department of History at Winthrop University as a Graduate Assistant where I edited exams and papers for undergraduate students. During the last year of my program, I worked with an SES program in South Carolina, tutoring both reading and math.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love tutoring and mentoring kids, period. It's spiriturally rewarding to me as an adult to have a part in a child's development. I believe every child is special. There's is no doubt in my mind that if a tutor approach is based on patience, quality time and empathy, he or she will be successful and effective. The latter mentioned characteristics has always been viewed by me as the hallmarks of tutoring. I have worked for years with the brightest and those who just need the right approach to learning to become the brightest. Tutoring children is a job you have to love doing because it requires passion and understanding. I understand the amazing change that can immediately take place in a child's life when their instructor (tutor) expresses passion and concern in their development and future.

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion for education drives me to a place, where I desire to teach children the joy in reading. In the past I developed a program to teach reading and mathe through culinary arts. Through research I have been able to develop extensive grammatical skills. I believe that in order to bring about change, you have to become the change. Children are like a garden of flowers who need only to be natured and love. In that type of enviroment any child can learn.
Education is my passion an on this road of life I am always striving to learn new things. Working with children gives me an opportunity to impart knowledge through their surroundings. My style of teaching is both hands on and hands off, I like to give the child an opportunity to try it on their own and make suggestions. I believe that their voice is also important.

A Little Bit About Me...

A description of my teaching style would be: building relationships. As a teacher I feel I am patient and caring. I feel that in order for children to learn they must feel valued. This is true with all humans. Studies show that students learn best when they feel safe and valued, and this is the type of environment that I like to set in my classroom. I also feel that in order for children to understand and connect to new knowledge, they must first connect to prior knowledge. This type of approach I feel is essential in teaching children new concepts. I allow my students to be the leader, and play a role as an expert while making connections between new and prior knowledge. I feel that this builds a child’s confidence and gives them the support they need to take risks. I do understand that they are different types of learners and as a teacher I differentiate my instruction based o ... read more

As a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Towson University with a degree in elementary and special education, I have always pushed myself to achieve excellence. I have a collaborative personality and strong interpersonal and communication skills. As a graduate with a dual major, I am able to bring background knowledge and experience from both the general education and special education perspective. In addition to the collaborative training I received, Towson has adequately prepared me to be a facilitator of active learning in other ways. My dual degree afforded sufficient training for me to asses and provide differentiated instruction to all students based on their individual learning needs, whether they are exceptional learners or not.

More About This Tutor...

I learned to be a more creative, patient and more caring teacher during that school year. Rather, then march though a list of state standards I learned to improve reading and math skills, while building a child’s self esteem. I learned how to praise a student often and effectively. I watched how when a child’s self esteem improves their academies and behavior improves. I believe that my experiences with students with learning differences will make me an asset to any school.
Personally, I am dyslexic and despite my learning differences I was able to attend law school and pass the South Carolina Bar exam. During my first year of teaching I was disappointed to learn how little time and energy is given to students who learn differently. My second year I choose to work at the John de la Howe School for at-risk youth and I loved every minute of that year: the school was designed to te ... read more

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and showing them something new. I feel a sense of reward when a student of mine realizes that they have a new concept. When the lightbulb comes on it is the best feeling in the world. I believe that given the right tools and the right environment all students can learn anything that they put their minds to. I am not a dictator in my teaching style, more of a teammate. I work alongside students guiding them to the next step. I am a fan of I do, we do, you do. I show them how to do it, we do it together, and finally they show me that they can do it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I fully believe that given the appropriate instruction, all students can learn and succeed. Not only do I think it is important for students to gain a full understanding of concepts, but also confidence in themselves as they apply what they learn. I believe that hands-on learning is what is best for most children, however, each child is different and a teacher must accommodate for each student's individual needs. I am very patient while teaching, as students learn at different rates. My passion is working with and teaching children, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure students reach their full potential.
