Lower Elementary Teacher for 15 years. I like to look for the special ways to meet the way a student learns. I believe each child learns differently. I believe each child has her/his own way in which to learn. It is a process of discovery but my experience and intuition are pretty darn good. I like to combine humor with organization and accountability, on my part, the student's part and as well as the parents'. I am a previous elementary school teacher, focusing mainly in the lower grades during my 15 years of teaching. Prior to that I was trained and taught Montessori Elementary, Grades 1-3. I believe and was able to teach with a thematic approach in which all subjects were integrated. I was also trained in Bloom's Taxonomy, which is an awareness and knowledge of the seven different learning styles.

In my experience as a teacher in the church,I have worked with a variety of students from young to old, from very intelligent to the mentally challenged. Thus I have learned to be flexible. One style does not suit all. With one on one or a small group, the ability to change to fit the student population is extremely important. Especially with composition, it is important to help students be able to write about what they see and feel. I think I can do that, Community Service professional with years of private industry experience. Excellent oral and written communication skills, demonstrated interpersonal skills, and proven community outreach expertise. Skilled in educating individuals, coordinating resources and taking initiative in projects. An integral member of any staff, able to effectively serve organizational needs in building alliances and achieving stated goals.

I really enjoy teaching the writing process.I love working with all children, and I firmly believe that all children can learn to become great writers when they find out what the discipline expects of them. I am very patient and considerate of childrens needs; as some are hands on learners, some are visual learners, some need a scaffolding approach to writing, or simply need to know organizational approaches to writing...so I attempt to meet the student where they are in the learning process and provide them the nurturing approach, and healthy environment. I seek to enable them to be confident in their abilities, and help them achieve their writing targets. I have been teaching four years. I am a highly driven person and expect a lot of myself as well as my students. I earned a BA degree in English Literature, and a Master of Arts degree in English/Creative writing from Wayne State Unive

I have always had a passion for education and the gained knowledge thereof. I pride myself on facing any/all situations in an intellectual manner that usually results in collaborative outcome. With a degree in Theatre, many aspects of social skills and professionalism abound. We are taught to present ourselves before others, cooperate with others onstage and off, and enthusiasm is a must have to maintain on stage. Organization and creativity abound in this field as well as character work can result in chaos but the development thereof is based completely on one's artistic interpretation. These qualities assure great successes in life as they can be encompasses in many occupation avenues such as the one for which I am applying.

I evaluate each child during my first session to determine their learning style and their level of need. Once we establish that, I tailor a program of study designed to improve not only the current subject at hand but also to provide long term study habits they can take into their future learning experiences. I use various methods of oral, written and guided reading, memorization and visual learning to reach as many of the brain's centers of learning as possible to truly help the child retain the information long term. I have a long history of tutoring experience along with substitute teaching at The Baylor School in Chattanooga from 2000 until 2008 and prior to that at various private homes for 2 years.

I have a natural passion for educating youth of all ages and find joy in helping them succeed. No child is unreachable when it comes to connecting with them. The only true difficulty may be finding their learning style. Teaching is easy when you know your audience. Our country has put our youth in a state of desperation with regard to their level of education, desire to obtain higher levels of education, and the ability to compete internationally. I want to be a part of the solution in reaching our youth and reassuring them that they can still be and achieve anything they seek. Education is the central focus of my everyday life. I have obtained a BS in Management-Health Care/HR and 5 Associate degrees in Business Administration, Administrative Office Technology, Medical Office Technology, Legal Secretary, and College Transfer.

Education has always been one of my greatest facinations. I achieved a BA in English grammars, a MLA in creative writing, and fifteen credits towards a PhD in literature and literary criticism. I discovered the writing center at my undergraduate university and became a tutor immediately. I found that I was in a position to learn just as much at the students I tutored. Over the past twelve years, I have continued that facination with learning in voluntary tutoring sessions. I believe in the program of teaching across the curriculum. As a teacher to be, I believe that students are much more willing to participate in writing goood papers when it is in a subject that has meaning for them. If this is not possile, I take an approach to the topic in order to make it more interesting, especially when there are such good internet resources today. I am a fun educator who takes great joy in helping

For the last seven years, I have taught and tutored English to adults who speak other languages. In the last two years, I have added tutoring students in grades 3-12. While teaching English as a Second Language at a local college, I was a lead lab instructor for two years. Students work with me on pronunciation, reading, writing and grammar. They also work on improving their test taking skills. I have a Masters Degree in the area of Child Development and Family Life, and a Bachelors Degree in the areas of History and English. We do not all learn to speak, read and write languages in the same way. Some of us learn by mostly hearing or saying; some of us learn by mostly seeing and looking; and some of us learn by mostly doing, using touch and moving parts of our bodies or things. I use all three ways to learn when helping others improve their English. I use hearing, seeing and doing. I ch
