Experience Summary
B.S. Elementary ed with math minor. Certified in PA. (moved and did not renew)
After raising two sons, I entered the business world using my math and negotiation skills in the
finance/AR-credit division.
I recently relocated to Texas and began to substitute elementary grades 1-6. The past six months were dedicated as a compliance sub tutoring 5th grade students in math, reading, reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and test preperation.
Teaching Style
I believe that a teacher who is dedicated and loves to teach will give rise to students who love to learn.
The experience should be enjoyed by everyone and be exciting when something new has been learned.
I like using different approaches. For example - using subject related games to make learning fun and interesting.
Discipline and dedication to accomplish set goals for each subject are an integral part of this process.
My Hobbies
I enjoy playing and watching different kinds of sports.
I read a variety of different types of books.
I like to paint. I go to open classes to learn to paint specific pictures for fun !
I've dabbled in arts and crafts. Making things for the different seasons, such as wreaths, centerpieces
wall decorations,etc.
Other Comments
Working with children, especially in a tutorial capacity is my favorite part about teaching. It is extremely rewarding for me to see their excitement especially when they have mastered their subjects.
I accomplish so much more when working with individuals or small groups of children
I find that it is more effective in capturing and keeping their attention.
