Patient. Positive.Encouraging. Keeping it light. My primary aim would be to build the student's self confidence and image. Encouraging enthusiasm for the subject matter,by making it more receptive,would be an additional desired outcome. I would place special emphasize on promoting the need to read,write,and speak well, regardless of the subject. Teaching critical thinking would also be a goal. An instructor can't really teach a student. But the pupil can be given learning support and the tutor can plant the desire to pursue the individual's own education at their own pace, by providing the right guidance. I have a B.S. in Education from NIU,Illinois. Graduate work at Northridge State,CA. I'm a volunteer tutor at Mary's Place/Sharing and Caring.

Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task.

Most of my experience is related to the Social Sciences, however I have substitute taught several math and science classes. I have also completed multiple college courses in math and science.

Through my years of coaching and teaching, I have learned that a teacher must adapt his/her teaching style to the learning style of the student. A child can learn in different ways, and it is my job to find the most effective way to help the child learn. Growing up in a large family while my mother ran her own daycare, I learned to be very patient and caring for children. I believe it is important to be consistent and constructive in guiding our children to reach success. My goal is to provide a positive environment for every child in order to achieve his/her full potential. As a high school and college student, I was very active in my community as a tutor, mentor, teacher, and coach. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Exercise and Sports Science.

Learning should be fun and engaging; a necessity for effective learning. Because each student has unique academic needs, I prefer to reach students on their level with a differentiated approach. Lesson plans I create are based on students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. My goal for students is that they experience learning in a way that builds confidence and self-efficacy. I have also worked with children who have needs in specialized areas. If your student has difficulty resulting from ADD/ADHD, I can help!
