Before I began my professional teaching career, I worked for the Read Across America program helping young learners gain an appreciation for reading. I mentored elementary students who were labeled at risk due to low performance in reading. In 2001, I began teaching pre-k in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2005, I relocated to Houston and began teaching kindergarten in Ft. Bend ISD. I taught 4th grade Math and Science for 2 years. Currently, I work as a 2nd grade ESL inclusion teacher. I have experience teaching students identified under the special education umbrella- autistic, asperger's Syndrome, and various developmental delays. I have successfully tutored students with ADD, ADHD, and other conditions that make it difficult for them to be 100% successful with classroom instruction only. Due to my background in early childhood, I teach using hands-on manipulative based strategies.

I think it takes a lot for one teacher to reach all of types of students who are all at different levels of interest in the subject being taught as well as at different levels of understanding. However, I feel it is the teacher's responsibility to give them all equal opportunity to learn. It is not just about grades and assignments, that is just the means to an end, but it is about learning. In order for the students to learn, the teacher needs to be passionate about the students as well as the subject that is being taught. That will instill in the students a desire to learn and understand. In having a science background, I have not only learned laboratory skills and reasoning skills, but I have learned how to increase efficiency, communicate in a clear manner, and write in a way that is direct and clear. I enjoy learning, and I instill that passion into my students as best I can.

I have a special passion for Mathematics. I love teaching mathematics and would love to impact my knowledge in children. All children can learn and i always try to create an environment where they are anxious to learn and actually learn. I am very patient and considerate. I do my best to make a difference in all of my student's lives. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Minor in Mathematics. This has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of mathematics. I have tutored students in mathematics during the last 5years.

As briefly stated above, I love teaching! I love working with children of all ages. I have been quite successful as an instructor because I have a fantastic rapport with students. Among my qualities: I am patient, flexible, knowledgable, easy going, and have a great sense of humor -- which really is important. I am a big believer in giving feedback to students. Yet, I always do this in a constructive format. I always try to create a successful learning environment so the student may succeed. My main objective in tutoring is to find out a child's strengths and weaknesses. From there, I can garner an idea on how best to tackle turning the weaknesses into strengths. I always give 110% at everything that I do. Helping a child learn is no different. I have two degrees from college: A Master's Degree in Communications and a BA in Journalism. I have been teaching now for about eight years (all

As, a product of the inner city, I was always interested in helping young people who came through the same path as I. I have a BA, in Broadcast and Communication Arts, and a Masters in Social science in many history subjects. To aid in my teaching abilities, I have work, in Research and Community Development for over thirty years. I have trained young people to go in the community and make presentations particularly around health, for over twenty years. My teaching style is to engage young people into the developmental process, through empowerment. By allowing young to have a say in their own development, I find it makes them more willing to be open for learning. I am driven by my passion for young people to succeed; and I am always open for incorporating their ideas into the teaching process.

Every child can learn but since everyone is different, a different approach is needed to ensure the information and abstract concepts are fully understood. Auditory learners like myself would learn best from an entertaining lecture followed by auditory questions designed for the learner to discover for him or herself what it is they were looking for with myself as a guide. Visual learners would learn best by a movie or re-enactment, and some reading. Kinesthetic learners would need a hands on experience to get a better understanding. In all cases students will realize that they themselves can figure out for themselves the 'hows' and 'whys' of history and show me by answering some questions and re-teaching it to me. I have always had a fascination with the past; as a child I read book after book on dinosaurs and as an adult I studied and received a BA in History with a minor in Politica

As a person who holds both a BA and MA in English, each with concentrations in writing (creative and technical, respectively), I am qualified to, and have for several years, tutored English language studies skills, including composition, grammar, punctuation, and reading comprehesion, to students from the third grade through college. I have also taught English composition at the college level.

As well, I have tutored primary school students in science and arithmetic. Finally, I have also tutored beginning guitar. My teaching style is one in which I strive to engage students in the subject by both instructing and challenging them to think on their own. I also strive to accomplish this goal in such
