My teaching style is eclectic, drawing from a variety of instructional methods according to the immediate needs of my student. I look for the strengths, not only academic, but also social and personal, in every student. I also assess a student’s needs both formally and informally to determine areas of need and whether we are making progress in those areas. I strive to engage learners in the material and hope to make them independent learners, able to further develop their skills even when I am not with them.

While some teachers favor a direct instruction approach, I try to tailor my instruction to the growing and diverse needs of each student. Some are more auditory learners than others, therefore, for those you would need a lot of teaching by rote, i.e "do as I do", so to speak. My paid professional teaching experince includes one year working as a Special Education Paraprofessional for 2-4 grade stundents classified with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders.

I love teaching mathematics and I feel that I work well with all students. I am patient and will take as much time as your child needs until they truly understand the topic. I believe all children are capable of learning and I am aware of the constant struggle most have in math. I am willing to put in the time and effort with your child through homework and practice as well as preparing for a test or an EOC. I strive to make a difference in the lives of each child I work with and I will be persistant and positive in teaching your child. As a current mathematics teacher, I understand the individual needs and am able to deal with the unique experiences of each student. I have taught basic level Pre-Algebra, State-wide tested Algebra I, and honors level Discrete Math. I have worked with all ages, attitudes, levels, and abilities.

I am a passionate teacher and tutor. I believe that there is not a minute to waste when working with youth, and I like to conduct vigorous tutorials and well-paced classes. I believe that everyone has a different learning style, and this is why tutoring is such an integral supplement to classroom teaching. I enjoy getting to know my students and creating lesson plans for tutorials based on their personal learning styles. I believe that a student has to be engaged and challenged in order to learn and I absolutely provide that in my tutorials. I earned two bachelor degrees from the University of North Carolina in December of 2007. From there, I chose to move to Massachusetts to participate in a ground breaking fellowship at MATCH Charter Public High School.

First and foremost, I believe it is important to establish a trusting relationship with those you teach. Throughout my experiences in the field of education, I have found the most fruitful of those relationships to be those in which I was able to work with a student or group of students regularly over an extended period of time to develop a routine and a strong relationship in which great amounts of learning and understanding could be accomplished. Although many people experience obstacles in learning Mathematics, I believe that by presenting multiple ways to approach a problem, every student can find a method that works for them. Every student should be allowed the resources and opportunity to realize that they CAN achieve their goals. I am here to help students who have had difficulty with Math in the past to succeed, and feel confident in both their abilities in Math, and in life. As

My teaching style is a mixture of direct instruction and discovery based learning whose components depend on the student(s) at hand. I've been known to make generalized lesson plans and improvise as I go, because every class is different, and too strict of a plan is destructive and boring for the students. Students typically need things explained to them in many different ways to garner a solid understanding of any topic, but especially upper level math and physics. Therefore, I pride myself on using any props, explanations, or examples that I can come up with to get the point across. At the same time, I tailor each lesson to the speed of the student(s) and the time constraints of the situation, varying the amount of direct vs. discovery learning accordingly, and making sure that the lines of communication between myself and the student are wide open so I can continually assess their
