Experience Summary
I tutored while attending East Central University focusing on academics (Math/Reading) but I incorporated a moral and ethical component that was just as necessary.I followed a lesson plan that was created around the state requirements and added my own creativity and relevance.I have been a tutor and academic mentor with the AVID program for two years. All academic tutoring and probing is conducted through Socrates' method of questioning.I have learned various math strategies, the foundations of writing and benefits of teaching, tutoring and discussing at Costa's Level 2 or 3.I have personally learned and learned how to teach the cornell note-taking method and I see the benefits pertaining to comprehension and retention.
Teaching Style
Educating students academically, socially and morally is my passion. I truly believe that all students, regardless of race, age, gender, socioeconomic status, grade level performance etc. can achieve because I've seen it first hand with myself and with those I work with. I believe that structure and having a firm grasp and understanding of the content being taught is important but it is just as important to be able to bring the content alive and make it relevant to your students.
