"Every child can learn."

My passion is education and I have more than thirty successful years of teaching students with diverse learning abilities and learning styles. As an educator, I am most rewarded when I can witness with the student that "Ah,ha" moment when they understand a concept or have mastered a problem solving activity.
Individual and focus of student's specific learning modalities.

More About This Tutor...

Communication and patience is key. Im not an easily irritated person. I understand the struggles other teens may be going through as so have I before.
I don't have a deggree in any of my listings. But i can say I have EXPERIENCE. I am a high school student. How I stand out from others is I know what teachers are looking for NOW. Things have obviously changed since others got their degrees. Teaching styles and expectations. I have a 3.0 avg. And my best subject by far is English. I also have spanish listed. I am a native spanish speaker. I grew up with and around the language. Sure you could find someone who was taught the language in the classroom. But why not someone who speaks it on a daily basis. Who can read, write, speak and deeply understand it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored many people in several subjects over the years and find the work fulfilling. I recently have graduated out of the education system and am well aware of what it takes to succeed. I now have a BA in Political Science and a Juris Doctorate and on the way to earning these degrees I successfully passed some of the worlds most difficult tests on the first attempt. On top of the education, I am able to teach my superior test taking and study strategies to my pupils, no matter what age.

You can do anything you set your mind to!

I have extensive experience tutoring elementary school students. I student taught in a first grade classroom as well and assisted children in phonemic awareness activities throughout the day. I also have 10 years of experience as a nanny and understand a variety of mentalities when it comes to doing school work.
I believe in allowing kids to think for themselves and do not believe in feeding them the answers. I will be there to offer the encouragement and support they need along the way. I am a highly qualified individual who is responsible, empathetic and compassionate to a student's educational needs.

Educating the youth-academically, socially, and mentally.

I am a second year teacher. I taught 4th grade last year, and will be teaching 5th grade this school year. I am certified in both Missouri and Kansas. I obtained my degree from UMKC. I am very passionate about what I do and take it very seriously. However, learning should be flexible with lots of hands on experiences.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Reading : Reading, Spelling, and Phonics all go hand and hand. I use, "Phonics pathways to make sure children have a grasp on phonics rules.

I have taught Early Childhood Education since 2000 to 2002 at Angel Academy Preschool. Later, I worked with children through the Y.M.C.A of Port Huron, Michigan and Lenawee County, Michigan. I helped school age children with homework in the afternoons and during the day taught preschool. While attending junior College I tutored students struggling with math. After graduating college I began substitute teaching in Michigan for elementary school children. I became a mother in 2011 and stayed home with my children for a few years, and then went back to substituting. In 2016, I earned my certification in Missouri and have worked with preschool age and elementary age children for the past 4.5 years.
I prefer a hybrid teaching style. If a standard teaching style was working for the student then they most likely would not need tutoring.
