Experience Summary
During college I had the opportunity to tutor while going to school. In our Math lab I was able to tutor one on one, as well as a in a group setting. On top of my tutoring experience in college I had the chance to take a class on how to help people develop study skills. Along with tutoring for a few semesters, I ahve recieved a BA degree in Math. I student taught Algebra and Geometry and am currently teaching Pre-Algebra and Algebra courses for Burley High School.
Teaching Style
Teaching is my passion. I started to realize this while helping classmates as early as middle school and have carried that drive with me through college and my teaching experiences so far. I have a variety of skills through work experience and like to use a wide range of methods to teach. These methods help me address different learning styles. I have a knack for helping students find better ways to study and learn. Outstanding teachers are the ones who try to come up with creative ideas to interest those who are excelling as well as come up with creative ideas to scaffold and support those who are behind to hold their interest. An outstanding teacher doesn't "Clock out" as soon as contract hours are over. This is the kind of teacher I believe that I am and strive to continually be.
