I love teaching and working with all children. I believe that all children have the potential to learn and I am dedicated to finding new and unique methods to help them succeed academically. I am very patient, and easy going. My goal is to provide the best education possible.
Over the years I have participated in numerous activities with children. While pursuing my elementary education degree in Pennsylvania, I've worked for numerous daycares, babysat multiple children, and tutored many elementary students in my spare time in all of the fundamental subjects; including but not limited to math, science, reading, grammar, social studies, and spelling.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching! Seeing a student’s eyes light up, as they first understand a new concept, is very rewarding. I am a very patient and easy-going, yet focused. I take the time to be sure a student truly understands something before we progress. I feel that instruction needs to be tailored to the student. Every student has the potential to achieve if taught in a way that meets his or her needs. Though I am very familiar with the traditional teaching style of direct instruction, I am learning the value of a constructivist approach.

I assess what their difficulty is. I may back track and ensure they understand the basic foundation of the principle they are learning, then move forward one step at a time, as they grasp each concept. Many times, they must understand step one, to complete step two, etc. I love to see people succeed. When a student finally understands a concept, it gives them, as well as me a feeling of great satisfaction.
Currently, I own my own Health Insurance Agency in Tehachapi. I am an Administrative/Management Professional with 20 years experience. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Administration with a GPA of 3.46. My 11-year old daughter is a straight A student because I worked with her at an early age with studies that were at least 1 - 2 years beyond her current year. I knew she had the intellectual capacity to learn these, and it has paid off for her every year of school ... read more
