My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educating students in the St. Louis Public School District in English and writing. In addition to experience in the classroom in developing and implementing lesson plans and developing interpersonal skills with children of many ages, I also studied subjects such as calculus, astrophysics, South African history, and music theory. My experience in school has made me a well-rounded academic, and my experience outside of school has made me a well-rounded educator. I have confidence that I possess the tools necessary to help a child excel in any subject they choose to study.
My goal is to help children in any context that I can. Although I have my sights set ... read more

I believe in motivation and positive reinforcement to help students reach their full potential. I want each student to know that his/her opinion is valued and important. I strive to teach students to think critically and to learn how to learn, rather than how to memorize. I want to instill self-esteem in the learning process and make it a part of the student's daily life. I am patient and driven.
As a practicing attorney, I have spent the past four years teaching my clients to navigate the often intimidating legal process. In 2006, I received my Juris Doctorate from Saint Louis University School of Law with a concentration in criminal litigation. I received my undergraduate degree (B.A.) in Political Science from Saint Louis University in May of 2003.

As a college graduate student, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, a master degree in Elementary Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of language arts, math, and science.

During the last seven years I have substitute taught in all grade levels, and have taught preschool full time for the past two years.

I have been teaching and coaching athletics for nine years, mostly high school science, but also reading, SAT/ACT preparation, and other topics. I have also published two children's books and three young adult fiction books. My B.S. is in Biochemistry from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
I focus on beginning with a student where they are at on a certain topic. I mold a lesson to integrate as much as possible with the student's pre-existing life interests. In nine years of teaching high school, my evaluators always compliment my use of fun and humor in keeping students engaged.

I am a very fun and energetic person, therefore, my teaching style reflects my personality. I usually use hands on activities to keep the students engaged and allow them to be responsible for their own learning. I also find that this helps them have a better understanding of the subject area and since many people do not like English class very much, my approach helps them have a new respect for the subject. Of course, I do adapt my teaching style to work with each individual student as I and the student see necessary. I believe that the students and I should have a mutual respect for one another. Therefore, I like for them to have a say in their learning and education.
I have wanted to teach students my entire life. I began tutoring when I went to college. There I tutored my peers in composition and literature. As I continued my college career, I had three semesters where I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As owner of accounting and QuickBooks training business along with the Business Specialist position at Kaskaskia College, I have trained many individuals in both a classroom setting as well as on a one-on-one basis. I love to teach my skills and assist any person in achieving their absolute best and am able to adapt my teaching skills to fit with that particular person or class. My favorite part of teaching is when I see the "Ah-ha, I understand now!" light in someone's eyes; I really enjoy assisting anyone and helping them understand a specific aspect or an entire idea. I frequently give examples that an individual can personally identify with based on their current job or skills, as well as create spreadsheets and send emails with graphs or steps needed to complete a calculation. I believe everyone has their own learning style and it's my job to adapt my teaching skills into the bes ... read more
