I am a seasoned veteran of working for a large agency with multiple responsibilities across the State of Virginia. I have been tutoring, mentoring, teaching, training, and instructing on many subjects during my career. I have passion and dedication to whatever subjects I teach and I plan to impart a sense of enthusiasm in the subject matter with my students. I also teach coursework at the University level. My approach is to encourage students to define their learning goals and then to discover how the learning the content can help them achieve their goals. I like to use real life examples to help students recall what they have learned. I am less interested in rote memorization. I tend to be structured and patient.

I have over 10 years of experience in the education field with a special love for tutoring Mathematics. My experience is extensive as I ran my own tutoring business for 3 years doing mostly freelance work in college. The unique thing about my experience is that I have tutored ages 8-28 through my many recipients. I have a knack for getting children and adults excited to learn whether it is through motivation outside the subject area, or showing them that they can in fact do this. My teaching style is upbeat and positive. If I cannot be excited for my subject areas. Why should any student I tutor?

I have a BS in Elementary Education from Kent State University. I have taught 7th grade Language Arts, 4th grade, and remedial reading. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the skills needed for reading comprehension, writing, and how to meet individual learning needs. I also served as department chairperson and Standards of Learning resource teacher. Those responsibilities allowed me to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the subject. I have also worked at a learning center and did some after-school tutoring in multiple subjects. It has helped me to quickly assess a student's needs, and make the most of the time we have together. I enjoy working with all children. I believe all students are able to learn, but it is up to me to figure out the best way to teach each child. I have found that role-modeling works very well. No matter what the topic, role-modeling allows the st

I have gained diverse teaching experience beginning in college, in which I taught a class to struggling freshman. I then attained my Master's in Teaching. Because I was a December graduate, I worked for the remaining school year with elementary-aged students who needed additional services in reading. I then moved into the full-time classroom, in which I specialize in reading, math, science, social studies, and technology. Teaching has always been my calling because I love children. All children are learners, just in different ways. I enjoy finding what it is that drives a child to learn. I am a huge advocate of using technology to facilitate learning. I also believe that learning should be meaningful and build upon prior experiences. Education is key, and great educators look first at the child and then within to find strategies to best reach each child's needs.

I have been working with Elementary age children since High School as a coach, mentor, babysitter, and volunteer. I have served as an after-school director as well as a small group tutor in a half way house for abused women. I currently teach 5th grade Special Education in a collaborative setting. I have taught all subjects, and am very comfortable with each subject. I have worked with the Wilson Reading program to help my students who have severe decoding deficits. I've realized over the last four years that students want to learn and do well. I enjoy watching students when they grasp onto a concept they originally thought was too difficult. Not one method works for every student, so it takes dedication, patience, persistence and love to find each student's learning style. I believe I possess all of the aforementioned qualifications. I completely enjoy what I do!

Teach it. Repeat it. Practice It. Discuss it. What went right? WHat went wrong? What did they learn. Egg Cartons and White boards are my favorite manipulatives. Often mistakes are the best teachers. My father was my first math mentor. He graduated from West Point - and tutored his roommate John Saxon. John developed the Saxon method. The next influencer was Investigations - the math program used at West School in New Canaan, CT where I did my student teaching. That program taught me to do "break apart" math - which teaches math independence. I have done more substitute teaching at all grade levels - and often play "Mental Math" with white boards -which the kids love. They work in teams and get the adrenaline rush of beating the clock and the teacher. This methodology - has worked really well for AD&D kids.

I’m interested in teaching children earth science and molecular biology. During college I studied art also, this allowed me to be strong in diagrams and understanding photosynthesis and other processes in science with great detail. I learned by color and charts and relied on a dry erase board to learn the human body in Anatomy. I could take a mental picture and learn the names clearly. My only documented tutoring was with the local elementary school in a program called “Reading Buddies”. I had a syllabus for the children and was rewarded with clear results on both children. It was an after school activity during High School and only lasted for one school year. I remember the feeling of having a result and the satisfaction that only a few minutes spent lasted till the end of the program.

The basis of counseling lies on allowing the child to develop at his or her own pace. This attitude, combined with my martial art background which focuses on self-discipline and self-control, allows me to create an environment which is nurturing but also motivating to the child to keep trying harder. I have worked with all kinds of students, from exceptional education, to gifted and talented students. At the College of Charleston, I mentored at a local Elementary school. My studies focused on behavior and learning, as well as a focus on neuroscience and the biological basis of behavior. After graduation, I was employed as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. At Virginia Commonwealth University, I earned a masters in education with a focus on counseling. I mentored at Moody Middle School, as well as gained a years worth of counseling experience at a local elementary, mid
