I believe in a multi sensory approach to teaching any subject matter. I believe in fostering academic and emotional success for each student with whom I work. I strive to accomplish this through positive reinforcement (intangible and tangible), humor and thorough knowledge of the subject matter at hand. During my 12 year teaching career for the Kyrene Elementary School District, I wore many hats within the special education department ranging from the classroom to administrative duties. I was trained as a district "trainer of trainers" for a phonics based decoding reading instruction program and taught within my district and surrounding districts as well. I also worked for the local community colleges as adjunct faculty teaching potential special education teachers the same type of reading program.

When at the U. of South Florida, in order to receive a degree in Special Education we were also required to meet all criteria for a degree in Elementary Education. Therefor, I graduated with a double degree and a minor in Art education. The majority of my teaching experience was in the field from Educable retarded to the last years at our state institution, Sunland. The wide range of teaching settings aided in strengthening my ability to individualize instruction at the same time delivering it in a creative way. In the last 10 years I have returned to Lively Vo Tec and learned professional photography. That has been my primary work since then. I actually have always taught others, even as a child, my peers came to me to learn new things because of my patience and persistence to help them learn. So, it was easy to study education in college. There my focus shifted to the more difficult ch

I really enjoy teaching and working with students and continue to develop new ways to make learning fun and engaging. Focusing on each student independently, I differentiate instruction based on each individual's learning style. I value learning in a way that displays passion and a serious interest in every subject I teach. I believe in a fun and relaxed approach to learning, but maintain a focus and discipline I feel is required to achieve academic success. I have been working with youth for over ten years.

I am a very positive, motivational person who gives lots of positive reinforcements during the learning process.

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run. I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor.

I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed. My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.

After graduating from college, I taught preschool for 2 years. Since that time, I have worked with children with special needs in a variety of capacities. I currently work in the school system where I have been employed as an Instructional Aide for 7 years. I am currently working towards my masters degree in Exceptional Student Education. I have taught children with a variety of exceptionalities which include learning disabilities, autism, and mental retardation. I especially enjoy the challenge of teaching students who having learning difficulties. The children I have been accustomed to working with have typically fallen in the kindergarten through 5th grade level. I am most accustomed to teaching math and language arts, but feel I am capable of also teaching students in other subject areas. I teach according to students' learning styles and according to the particular student's needs.

Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to see what hinders learning in someone, and then help them to eradicate that trait. I am lucid, passionate, and hold great patience for those that truly wish to learn. Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations.
