Experience Summary
Teaching was something which I was called to a little over 10 years ago. I was initially interested in the sciences, so my background includes not only Arts and Letters, but Science and Math as well. Having had the opportunity to study abroad for two years, and earning my BA and MA degrees in History, has required extensive skill building in writing, analytical and critical thinking, as well as the ability to apply detailed information to the "big picture" of a concept. Throughout my tutoring and teaching experiences, I have taught 1st grade through 8th grade, including subjects like History, English, Algebra, and Physical Science.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is very interactive, and may be adapted according to the needs, strengths, and struggles of the student with whom I'm working. With content, I have a high regard for skill building, and so incorporate skill and strategy activities which reinforce the subject curriculum. If a child has a desire to learn, I will be able to find a way to reach him or her.
