In the future, I want to work with kids, helping them to become successful and self expressive. I believe this is a good experience for both the children and I in helping us further on with our goals. I love working with kids and only want to help! Math comes extremely easy to me and I can teach anyone with patience and persistence. I am also good with writing and reading. I can really relate to children who struggle with comprehension because as a young child, I struggled very much with it. I believe that I can help even more by viewing their struggles from their perspectives. I have little experience in tutoring. However, I have always helped my younger sister as well as some children I have babysat in the past. Even thought I have little experience, that is exactly why I am on this site. I crave the experience of working with children and helping them succeed! They have so much power

I have always loved working with children and at a young age I decided to go into the educaton field. I believe that children have an inborn desire to learn and it is up to the teacher to feed that desire by creating a learning environment that is rich in materials and activities. I also feel that each child needs a caring, safe, and stimulating environment to learn. We all learn at our own pace and in our own learning style. A teacher is a model for learning and I hope to instill a love of learning in my students. Teachers must recognize the influence they have on children and use this to show them the way to success. I attended a private college in New York and in 2006 I graduated with a BS in Child Study. I received four certificates. In the state of Florida I hold my Statement of Eligibility for my Professional certificate covering Preschool Education Birth-age 4, Elementary Educatio

I enjoy helping people, particularly kids. It's a very good feeling to help kids understand so many of the concepts in science, math and computers that tend to stump them. I am an easy going and focused individual. I generally teach kids by relating the subject to something they are interested in. There is a very good example of this in the movie "Big", where Tom Hanks character is teaching algebra to a boy who likes basketball. This is a technique that I use frequently. I believe very strongly that kids need to understand the concepts underlying each problem so they can solve it through understanding and not just rote memorization. I have BS degrees in both Physics and Nuclear Medicine. I was formerly a certified nuclear medicine technologist. I have worked as an engineer in the NASA community for much of my life and have a strong background in computers and software engineering

I tautht cross county, physical education, critical thinking skills, sewing, and all the other core courses. I volunteered in a local private school to assist when they would need me.

I believe in speaking words of encouragement to the students. I have seen positive words manifest into good results for the students. I do believe in teaching because as a mother this is one of the skills I know I had to dominate in order assist my own child to become a better citizen. I realize that what one deposits in this young generation we will reap as senior citizens. Therefore

The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired through my years as a merchant mariner will help me reach my full potential as an educator. My qualifications include but are not limited to a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, Condominium President of a one hundred and sixty unit beach side complex in Cape Canaveral Florida, and a coach of a sixth through tenth grade hockey team. The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other than
