Experience Summary
I am a talented teacher of grades pK-5, committed to maintaining high standards of education with emphasis on developing readings skills in my students. I am Enthusiastic, committed educator with innate ability to understand and motivate my students. I substitute taught in grades Pk-8, was a permanent substitute for Kindergarten, and then taught first grade for four years in West Virginia at a Title I school. Most recently I taught first grade in the Erie Catholic Diocese for three years and have been tutoring students in reading and math. I have my masters in Reading which required field work in a reading clinic.
Teaching Style
I am a warm and caring teacher who wants all children to be successful learners and always worked to create a classroom atmosphere that is stimulating, encouraging, and adaptive to the varied needs of my students.I have a child-centered approach to teaching. When creating lessons for my students I would strive to hit every state standard while making lessons fun and engaging for students. I believe if children can't learn the way you teach then teach the way they learn.
My Hobbies
I enjoy baking, cooking, yoga, crocheting, spending time with family, babysitting my niece, going to the zoo with my niece, playing the guitar, and reading.
Other Comments
My husband and I recently moved back from West Virginia and now that we have settled in, I realized how much I miss teaching. I am currently a homemaker but am looking forward to going back to teaching.
