I love to inspire creativity and push for success!

I love to incorporate creative and outside-the-box approaches in my teaching methods. I genuinely believe that often, to get students to understand material, they need to be interested in the concepts and I try to keep that in mind during my preparation. I also believe it is important to help students learn to become critical thinkers and independent learners, and therefore, I try to push them to achieve success beyond what they believe they are capable of achieving.
I have taught English/Language Arts for 3 years to 6-8 grade students, and I have worked as a tutor in various capacities for the past 7 years. This past summer I opened my own business: a program dedicated to teaching the craft of creative writing to kids. Currently, I am back in school at University of Dayton's online graduate program, with a goal of obtaining my Master's of Literacy.

As a Mass Communications student, I work very close with reading and writing for radio and television. I'm currently in college at Wright State University, graduating in 2010. In this major, writing papers is important, so reading and writing are major especially with presenting. In my background of working with students, I have worked for the Wittenberg University Upward Bound program for 3 years as a tutor counselor, after being a student for 4 years.
I have worked with students for 3 years, so it's interesting to see how they learn differently. I believe that learning is unique, so being creative in making memory stay is a positive with me. Encouraging students that doing their best and they will learn is a positive reinforcement that someone does care outside of school and home.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught computer software for approximately 10 years throughout my career to VP's, Directors, and employees, with excellent evalutations. I have taught my grand children various subjects over the years. I was motivated to attain my Bachelors degree while working full time. I have excellent speaking and teaching skills.
I am a patient and imagnitive teacher. I love children and love to teach. I like to motivate children and make them believe in themselves. I believe in children and my goal is to instill belief in them, that they can achieve anything. I like to instill positive feedback which I feel is necessary in children. I wish all teachers were dedicated and had compassion.

A child needs to have fun throughout the learning process. He learns best when he is excited and interested. He needs to be able to choose his own books to read. This usually entails a trip to the library. And from there, we start with shared readings, repeated readings, running records, echo readings and choral readings, just to name a few.
As a teacher, accountant, mother of 4, I have seen so many changes in education. Thank goodness, we are looking more at the student as an individual than as a cookie cutter kid. One size does not fit all. My passion, is to instill the love of reading into all children, as I did with my own, and as I try to with my high school students. Reading is the base of all education. If a student struggles here, it will show in all classes. I use a method where I find out exactly where a student is in his reading, and through running records, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every child should be given an equal chance to learn. If that means teaching a lesson three different ways to be sure to reach all my students, sometimes that is what it takes. Being flexible is very important in teaching, as it is important to be able to adapt to each student and each class, year to year. I think that all studnets can meet their potential if given appropriate chance and I strive to give students that chance.
I attended The Ohio State University and got my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a concentration in Early Childhood Development. After that I continued my education at Capital University to obtain my teaching license for PK-3 regular classroom education, as well as Intervention Specalist K-12 and a Reading Endorsment K-12.

I am a teacher of individuals. I believe that people are so different from each other that each student really needs an individualized approach. While this is more challenging in a classroom, it lends itself well to tutoring. I read people well, and I can help any student achieve his or her goals. I can find ways to make unclear concepts more tangible, practical, and less intimidating. I have helped many students in many different subjects and made learning more enjoyable for them.
I have a wide variety of experiences in and out of the classroom with all different types of learners in all different age groups. I have taught preschool, middle school, high school, and adult education classes. In addition, many of my tutor students have been in elementary school. I work best with struggling students, and they have told me and shown me that I effectively helped them. I have tutore ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with their English, Science, Math and History lessons. Over the course of pursing my own education, bachelors and masters, I have acquired skills in grammer and punctuation due to the accuracy that was required for my journalism assignments and research papers.
I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program f ... read more

I believe a supportive environment is critical for an excellent learning experience. First, I work to set up an environment of mutual respect, a place where the student knows I respect him or her and the student respects me. To accomplish this task, I actively engage with the student by showing an interest in the student's life. Essentially, I get to know the student. I then aim to clarify the subject matter the student finds challenging. If they still find a concept confusing, I approach the topic in an alternate manner. I do not give up on the student or the topic; I believe every student can understand a challenging concept by having a teacher explain it to them in a way the student finds comprehensible.
In high school, I served as a tutor for elementary school students for the state program Ohio Reads. At the University of Pittsburgh, I earned a BA in English Writing with min ... read more
