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. My education at Bloomsburg University has provided me with the essential tools needed to help elementary students succeed academically. I have experience working with a diverse group of children and possess skills to accomodate any speci ... read more

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. A student learns so much more when concepts are relevant to them and when they do the discovering themselves. I am incorporating more discovery-based teaching methods into my skills set.
As a student in a Multiple Subject teaching credential program, I have developed my passion for teaching into the skills necessary for encouraging student success. ... read more

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

I have always had a love for helping others learn, inspired especially by my three younger siblings who had learning disabilities. This, as well as my experience in high school assisting a teacher of the blind, motivated me to obtain a Special and Elementary Education BA degree in college. I have experience teaching a diverse range of students in many different situations: the classroom, a special education resource room, at public schools, at private schools, and in home schools. For the past twenty years I have been tutoring students in Kindergarten through the Eighth grade, especially in Math, Reading, Spelling, and Language Arts.
We are all given different strengths and weaknesses, different talents and challenges. I enjoy assessing these in each student as well as creating and executing an individualized plan of learning, guiding the student towards academic success. I love ... read more
