My teaching is relational and student centered. I motivate by affirmation and encouragement. I beleive it is important to listen to students and pay attention to their strenghts, fears, hopes, and passions. I taught 7th grade English for one year and 5th grade general education for three years. Prior to teaching, I tutored writing and study skills in our university acedemic skills department. I have also tutuored adults learning English as a second language and adults learning to read. Additionally, I have worked at after school programs, homeschooled a student who could not attend school for 3 months because of a brain injury, and volunteered as a reading partner for an elementary school student for three years. My most previous work experience has been as a pastor of two rurual congregations in Iowa. My family has recently relocated to Richland Center, WI.

I am a high school graduate. I am looking at furthering my schooling in art. I love children and the honesty about them. I feel as if someone teaching or learning by someone their own age can make a big difference. I have been a student mentor for many teenagers and younger children not only through school but through Facebook. Many students come to me with questions about school, family, and just life in general. They know they can trust me to give the best advice I can. ( which also includes sometimes telling their parents if they are hurting themselves or being hurt) I am a responsible person. I feel making cards, highlighting, reading out loud helps greatly. Just having someone there that can help you is a wonderful thong to have

To successfully teach,a tutor must first assess the individuals intellect,tastes and expectations.I am convinced that if a student can count and know the alphabet from A -G,they too can learn to play an instrument.Physical and mental obstacles are only a minor hurdle in learning to play. Getting to know the students tastes in music and personal aspirations of playing are paramount to success.With this in mind, a tutor can set a course of appropriate lessons to coincide with where a student wants to take his or hers playing level. I have performed through out the United States and Canada,as a guitarist,singer,and music arranger.This has provided me with a vast knowledge of my instrument,and also a wealth of insight to the mechanics involved in playing an instrument and performing.For the past 35 years I have done solo and group work in various situations such as clubs,restaurants,wedding

My classroom was defined by rules and consequences within a Love and Logic framework. During my years as a kindergarten teacher, it was necessary to provide students with a fun, stimulating, hands-on approach to learning so that they enjoyed coming to school on a daily basis. Creating the teacher/student bond is essential to achieving a successful and productive classroom environment. Teaching kindergarten and second grade was my passion for 20 years. As a classroom teacher, my students were provided with a warm, enthusiastic classroom environment defined within a framework of high yet achievable expectations. I've worked with students of all ability levels. Having twice acted as a teacher-facilitator for fifth grade students in the College for Kids summer program, I challenged students with reading and creative writing assignments that collaborated with the curriculum fo
