My teachers have been a great influence on me hence I think that each child should have an opportunity of having a good teacher. According to me a good teacher is one who understands the student completely. A teacher should make the child enjoy what he or she is studying and the teacher should also be friendly and should make the student welcome. Every child learns in different ways, and may be better at learning some ways than others. With my past experience I think I have learned a great deal on how to deal with a diverse classroom. All students can achieve their dreams if they are encouraged and have a good environment. I think I posses good teaching skills and can make my students learn and can make them enjoy the learning process.

I love educating others and teaching others to teach themselves. I believe each one of us has a specific learning style that needs to be discovered and emphasized for maximum learning potential. The responsibility of an educator is to understand learning differences and make sure to use learning tools that best suites the student. Without this knowledge, many smart and capable children will be left behind and not given the resources they deserve. This is why I love the process of learning and learning how to be a learner!

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with youth for the past eight years, beginning with my volunteer work as a camp counselor with my community 4-H group. I have since worked as summer camp staff; lead tutor for a private tutoring company; case manager with a focus on academic improvement, college preparation and dropout prevention; and most recently as a kindergarten and third grade English teacher. Because I have worked with children who came to the US as refugees from developing countries, I am very comfortable working with diversity. I have spent time working and studying outside the US and speak advanced Spanish and basic Arabic. Because of my extensive writing experience as a freelance journalist, I am very comfortable tutoring even the highest level of English or writing. I have bachelor degrees in Spanish and International Studies from the University of South Florida, both of which are magna cum ... read more

It's true that every student learns at a different pace with a different style. I like to see myself as a cameleon teacher, catering my format to individual needs. My style tends to be laid back so that students are comfortable expressing their likes and dislikes with me, curbing their fear of not understanding something. I love to use metaphors, pictures, examples and stories to illustrate the subject in a new and perhaps clearer way. I don't teach and run - I make sure the student understands before moving on to the next problem. I have them work through something in front of me so I can make sure they know what they're doing. And, finally - importantly - I keep a healthy, balanced sense of humor.
My original plan was to major in Education, but decided to double major in school, then obtain my teaching certificate after graduation. Now, armed with two degrees and a desire to ente ... read more

My teaching philosophy drives my instruction. Cooperative learning, discovery-based learning, student-centered classrooms, and research-based methods are all components of my teaching style. With the support system I provide, students feel comfortable taking risks with new knowledge and aren't reprimanded for making mistakes. The fact that each student learns differently keeps me constantly adjusting and adapting my lessons and activities. I feel it is the role of the educator to do everything possible to make each child successful.
In 2001, I started my educational degree program. In order to better prepare me for my future career, I immediately started working in the school system. From 2001-2004, I worked as a 1:1 aide for a child in the primary grades, K-12 substitute in all subject areas, youth mentor for mentally disturbed children, and a life-skills tutor for a child with As ... read more

My philosophy of teaching is essentially helping students develop skills and insights in a supportive environment that they can use for a lifetime. For a student to be a skilled thinker and develop insight in any subject, he/she has to apply intellectual standards to access the information they receive in the classroom and eventually from the outside world. The teacher’s responsibility is to mold young minds by using a positive feedback mechanism to access the knowledge, skills, and more importantly the ability of students to apply their knowledge in a real life situation.
