Enthusatic elementary teacher with a passion for teaching!

I taught for two years in third grade and two years in second grade in North Carolina. I am currently awaiting my Virginia elementary education license. I prepared third grade students for the End of Grade state standardized test, in which my classes did very well. As a teacher in North Carolina, I communicated frequently with parents, worked daily with co-workers to review student data for the purpose of remediation, and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of my diverse students. I helped to prepare students for the demands of a 21st century economy through daily use of technology, collaborative learning groups and hands-on, inquiry based instruction. Character building skills were incorporated in all academic areas. As an elementary school teacher, I prepared students to be independent, life-long learners.
Enthusiastic, loving and passionate for teaching.

Spelling is one of my top subjects!

Very relaxed, easy going, friendly. I feel less pressure and non stressful settings help students learn better. They can relate to a younger person who is more in tune with youth and someone who understands them.
I attended Rufus King World IB High school in Milwaukee, Wi, one of the most prestigious inner city high schools in the country. I excelled in IB Geography, Chorus, and Theatre. I was one of those kids who never did any homework, but passed my tests. Everyone came to me for help on projects, homework, ect. I feel that I didn't fully utilize my strengths in school as I could have, so I would love to share that with those who need it now.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is an exciting profession for me. I believe all kids including the most intellectually disabled can learn. I believe in setting high but realistic goals for students. Learning starts before children enter school and should be integrated between home and school. I am a firm believer in laying strong foundations in the lower grades, and building upon this as the child develops. Teaching children through systematic and explicit instruction has worked best for the students in my classes. Teaching children basic knowledge and then applying those skills to real-world experiences is my method of choice. I am a dedicated teacher and care about my students’ progress.
Four years ago, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from a local university. I received a BS in Rehabilitation Studies. This degree prepared me to work with our special population. My ultimate desire was to work with childre ... read more

I enjoy teaching and working with students who are just learning to read. I believe all students can learn. It is my job to discover a student's learning style and fit my instruction to fit his or her needs. I have been using the program "No More Letter a Week" with my kindergarten and PreK students for the past three years. It incorporates movement, pictures, and songs when teaching students letters and letter sounds.
I have taught kindergarten for three years and Pre-K for one year. I have my masters degree in reading and literacy. I am currently teaching homebound for a local school system. I have a valid VA teaching license in Prek-3.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience teaching G.E.D. students in various levels of Reading, Writing and Grammar. I have always enjoyed Language Arts and would be interested in teaching either Elementary, Middle School or High School students. I would enjoy this opportunity.
My teaching style would be similar to that of a coach. As a Tutor, I would strive to develop a student's potential while inspiring and motivating the student to learn new skills and to excel. My teaching style would focus on developing rapport, motivating, teaching and building the student's confidence. I would encourage the student to practice new skills and provide suggestions for continued improvement in order for the student to achieve their educational goals. I would hope to obtain a positive learning experience for everyone.
