As a Studio Art major I was exposed to a lot of Art History. My interest in Art History led me to earn a minor in it. My study in Art History has allowed me to become a proficient writer due to the many papers that I wrote on past and modern artist and their works.

Every student has the capability to succeed given that the conditions foster and nourish that success. Providing educational tools to the student in a higher education setting is critical to the independence and empowerment of the student. As an instructor, one must be cognizant of the fact that every teaching experience is an opportunity for professional growth and delivering instruction is a reciprocal process. Instilling in students the expectation of excellence has a pre-requisite that the instructor model by way of organization, preparation, enthusiasm, trust, and content expertise; inherently, upholding an effectual instructional leadership role. Teaching must be conducted with passion in order to awaken learning; perhaps, this is why we’ve moved to a classroom without walls.

My approach to tutoring is one of patience, practice and fun. I believe in staying on topic but also be available to detour to relevant topics that may broaden the application of the subject being studied. Through the use of computers, research and practical examples, my students are given different approaches to enhance their study skills. For me, learning any new subject begins with learning its language. For example, in math and science, vocabulary and usage are keys to understanding processes basic to any application. Finally, I welcome the opportunity to explore you or your child's talents, helping to identify and adapt a personal style of learning to ensure educational success. ) The last four years I have tutored at risk teenagers for a NY public school district.

Teaching is truly the joy of my life. I enjoy seeing students discover their gifts, and then watching them develop them. My philosophy of teaching is one of interaction rather than lecture. Students learn more effectively when they are partners in the learning experience. Reading comprehension and writing skills are both areas where students must feel a sense of ownership in learning. Also, technology has provided a unique platform for helping students feel empowered, and they are better able to take an active role. Teaching has evolved over the past thirty years from a passive experience on the part of the student to an active one. I am happy to be a teacher during a progressive age. I have a broad background as an educator. My years in the classroom as both an English teacher and an assistant principal have given me a unique perspective in both curriculum and the needs of the i

As a graduate, I understand the struggles each individual student may endure throughout their course work. Throughout my years as a student I have worked diligently and now applying to master's and PhD programs for neurological psychology. During the last 5 year, in high school and throughout college I have tutored others that needed help in psychology, algebra, statistics, geometry, and microbiology. The best way for a person to learn depends on the person, of course. It is well known that people have different leaning styles that work best for them. The best approach for a tutor is to learn which learning style fits the student best. Everything can take into account, for example lighting of the room or even background noise. All students regardless of age should be able to succeed and its a privilege to help students that want to reach their top potential

Throughout my experience tutoring students, I have learned that everyone has a unique learning style. No single rule applies to teaching someone. I spend time figuring out how a student learns and then adjust my style to their needs. After tutoring students for the past two years, I have learned that many kids have the ability to excel in school, and I enjoy helping them acquire the drive to learn. As a graduate in the world of technology, I believe education never ends. Things change constantly therefore we must continue to educate ourselves. In addition, I have volunteered with high school juniors and seniors to help them through courses such as math, science, computers, and English in their preparation for college. While in college, I also tutored classmates in statistics, algebra, and technology courses. Beyond that, I have learned valuable lessons about teaching others in the variou

I am most comfortable teaching with prek-5th grade students, because that is my area of expertise. I love teaching these age groups because they are so impressionable and some of them still have that child like innocence that hasn't been stripped from them yet. My goal is to make all of my students feel safe and secure, but at the same time they should be getting an education not having to worry about their home life or what their wearing or who is looking at them. My goal is to get them to focus on the schoolwork ad realize their full potential which is outside of this classroom As a college graduate, I was ready ti conquer the world with my BA in Communications, but once I begin to think about what I truly wanted to do with my life, I begin to also look into childcare.

My scholarly and practical experience is in Marine Biology and Chemistry. I have experience teaching adults, children, and adolescents in various settings from in a swimming pool, at animal exhibits, to in the classroom. For the past two years I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge of Science and Math with my students and motivating them to explore the various facets of the vast field of Science. My experience teaching children started in the water. That is a difficult place to start as many children fear the water. I quickly learned that individual students learn in different ways and at different paces. After studying Marine Biology in an academic setting I finally became able to share my passion for science and knowledge for math with students in a way that enabled me to not only share knowledge, but motivate students to become passionate about the subjects I find so interesting.

I have been a special education teacher for 10 years, teaching primarily Reading, although I have taught other subjects. I have tutored numerous students both privately and through a local tutoring organization and the Learning Resource Center of Polk County. Through my educator preparation and Master's degree programs at Warner University, I was taught to treat students as individuals and to utilize their areas of strength in order to remediate their areas of need. I love Reading myself and enjoy passing on that love to students. I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with students, which allows you to really see the growth and progress. I believe all children have an innate ability to learn; but some simply need more than the traditional classroom setting provides. I believe in using the student's learning style, and building upon that to strengthen their areas of need.
