Experience Summary
Taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade.I have a total of 15 years teaching experience in the public school setting.I have been a regular classroom teacher as well as a substitute teacher. I have extensive background in phonics and beginning reading skills. My Master's Degree focused on learning to assess student's learning styles and find areas of weakness so that remediation in those areas can be the focus of instruction. The whole child is considered when planning and implementing a learning plan. Children learn differently, therefore they need to be taught differently. I have done in home tutoring and helped students use strenghts to overcome weaknesses. Clients were always pleased with the outcome of their student's tutoring experience. I have experience in phonics based reading, hands on, manipulative math, Balanced Literacy and helping students by simplifying the writing process without comprimising the integrity of their writing.
Teaching Style
I like to use, hands on, knowledge based, high interest learning. I prefer students to learn about subjects that interest them and teach the skills that need improving based on their interests.
