I plan to continue until all have graduated. My teaching style includes more than one style because different children learn in different ways. For example, a child may learn by doing(I would use the demonstration-performance method). Another may be an auditory learner where I would use the lecture method, on a child's age level of course.

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 believe that every child has a chance at being the person they have always dreamed of becoming. Sometimes those children just need a little boost of confidence. I gained great confidence through my mother in college and I would like to pass on her encouragement to others who may need it. I believe every child can reach his or her goal if only they can get the correct guidance. Anyone can be a mentor for a child. I strive on being a great mentor for anyone who needs encouragement. My goal is to help a child succeed in there dreams. Even if its something as small as helping them write a scholarship essay. Every child deserves a real chance at succeeding.

I love children and I love teaching them. I believe in an individualized style of teaching that caters to a child's individual needs. Because I love teaching, I am a patient and caring teacher. I believe every child can learn, and implement a way of learning around that belief. I like to make a difference and "see the light come on". When it does, I know I have done my job. Following my graduation from USM, I had many experiences teaching a variety of children from many cultures. Having taught in a DODDS school in Karlsruhe, Germany I was exposed to the German way of teaching. My first year of teaching was in an inner city school thar offered many challengs. I believe my experience teaching children from diverse backgrounds prepared me to handle any situation in the teaching environment.

As a Tougaloo graduate and being a tutor over the years has provided an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children. I have always been involved in giving back to my community as well and to serve is indeed important to making a difference.
