Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.
I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.

There is nothing better than seeing a child’s face light up when they learn something new. I struggled in school when I was growing up and understand how frustrating and difficult it can be for students. I understand the hard work and motivation that is needed in order to succeed in school. My experience has given me the inside knowledge and skills needed to help my students. I am always patient, easy going, and considerate to all of my students. I believe that it is important to make learning fun for the students in order to engage them in the learning process. All students love to learn and discover new ideas. It is my job to bring back their passion and curiosity for learning so that they can be successful life-long learners.

I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I taught electives is video filming and remedial reading. In my experience as a teacher, I discovered that all students can learn if they are properly motivated. I found that I could best motivate a student if I found what they were interested in, and what grade level they were working at. I also worked for five years as a substitute teacher.
I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my ma ... read more

My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In terms of style, I explain the basic concept being taught and then illustrate by way of examples. I combine a bit of lecturing with meaningful interaction. Next, it is the students term to practice what has been taught. I may use a variety of interactive learning games in order to re-enforce the concept being taught. Somewhere down the line some for of testing is given for the purpose of checking to see if the student is grasping the concepts being taught.
I have worked with children and young people all my adult life from teaching VBS as a teenager to presently being a tutor and substitute teacher. In addition to my ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a passion for teaching others and thoroughly enjoy the satisfaction of seeing others succeed. In addition to my FT position at Stanislaus University, I am currently teaching adult learners how to prepare for competing in the labor market and fine tuning their job hunting techniques. I have about 6 yrs.experience as a trainer, workshop facilitator/creator as well as over 25 years of professional working experience. I am able to effectively teach not only adult learners, but children as well. Regardless of age, you need to determine which type of learning style each individual has and what will work.
My teaching style is one where I combine patience, efficiency, technology, variety as well as traditional methods. I believe that you need to keep learning fun and if you mix up different methods then it keeps the aspect of learning from getting boring. If a student gets ... read more

Seeing the light bulb go off in my students’ head is a constant reminder of my passion for teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding however some students just need to be taught in an alternate manner. My style of teaching involves a great deal of patience as well as constant reinforcement to ensure proper understanding and recall. I allow my easy going and fun nature to shine through in my teaching style but make sure to keep the proper balance in allowing learning to be an enjoyable but serious endeavor. I believe that education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life and my goal is to instill that believe and capability in all the lives I have the opportunity to touch.
Obtaining my Bachelors and Masters from a prestigious university has provided me with not only a pertinent educational background but also a great appreciation for the ... read more

I strive to include various learning styles when working with children. Some students learn best by listening or writing, while others need movement or tactile experiences to help in comprehension. I believe in keeping students engaged at all times, to minimize wasted time. Every child has potential. A teacher just has to know how to reach each child, and that happens when the students builds trust with the teacher.
I have taught music in public education for the last 15 years. I have been involved in church music ministry for over 25 years, and currently am the church pianist in Stockton, Ca. I love working with children of all ages. Math is my second love and I almost majored in math instead of music. Math was always easy for me in school. Although I don't enjoy writing, I am very strong in written English and enjoy proofreading papers.
