My experience started in my high school years helping my brother and sisters with homework while our mom was working. Presently I am employed at a day care center/ school, were everyday is spent engaged with the kids and their educational needs. I love interacting with the children at work so much so, that the idea of taking on tutoring sounds more so like a new hobby. The child chooses the style. What I mean by this is that every child is different and every one of them learn differently. Teaching on a more personal level is how to aid the best results.

I am interested in going back to the basics in the teaching of mathematics due to the fact that during my years of working with students I have discovered that the majority of them abhor math because some do not know the times table verbatim which is one of the basics that will obstruct the learning and correct mechanics of solving mathematical problems. I am a really good remedial mathematics teacher.

I have been an AP Literature and Composition teacher as well as Twelfth grade Language Arts instructor for over 16 years. I am acutely aware of the needs of students as it relates to mastering reading and writing skills. I have also taught an ACT Prep course for the past 5 years after extensive training at workshops and conferences. I know the importance of identifying weaknesses in reading, writing, and on standardized tests such as the ACT and directing my instruction to those weaknesses. I am especially skilled at targeting writing weaknesses as it relates to both rhetoric and mechanics as I am a practicing writer myself. Though reading ability is gained with much practice, there are practice methods to increase speed and cognition. I differentiate my instruction both in the classroom and individually to work at all writing and reading levels so that maximum benefit is achieved by th
