Teaching the way that my students learn best.

I have teaching experience with both general education and special education on the middle school level as well as the elementary level through my private school experience. I am currently a general education reading teacher who has high expectation of all of my students. My teaching experience includes working with general education and team taught settings with students who have various IEP’s goals and objectives for the past 6 years. As a teacher, I think that it is very important to meet the needs of the whole child as well as their educational needs. I strive to show my students respect, honesty, kindness, and a kind heart at all times. In doing so, I have achieved many success moments with encouraging my students to meet their goals and objectives. Furthermore, my current position enables me to provide my second language learner students with “fundamental reading skills” ... read more

Learning is exciting and I want to get students excited about learning.

Will improve educational and behavioral skills in learners.

I believe in a student-centered environment whereby I act a facilitator who guides and directs students by asking questions, exploring options, suggesting alternatives, and encouraging students to develop criteria to make informed choices. My overall goal for students is to develop in students the capacity for independent action, initiative, and responsibility.
I have a plethora of experience teaching in the elementary, middle, and high schools. I developed tutoring programs where I taught students at all levels in test taking skills and in addition, I trained adults to teach students using various teaching strategies. My dissertation focused on running effective tutorial programs. Also, I have served as a Research Educational Specialist to evaluate effective after school tutorial programs. Therefore, I know first hand best practices to employ to help students and teachers succ ... read more

I earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry with a minor in math.

My teaching style could best be described as a pyrimid approach, a firm understanding of basic principles before moving to the next level of complexity.

I was able to tutor children on a weekday basis for about three hours a day. I tutored all subjects for kindergarten through second grade.
I use all kinds of methods to help a child to reach their optimal performance level. I assess the child's learning style and base strategies on how the child learns best.

My style of teaching involves interesting riddles and quizzes at the beginning of each class to prepare students. I also conduct short quizzes on a regular basis to help improve students speed. I typically include illustrations and diagrams in my teaching to enhance students understanding. I am very patient with children and I make it my responsibility to help build their confidence by determining and building on their strengths and improving on their weaknesses.
After my high school education, where I achieved A's in both core and elective math, I began teaching math at the elementary and high school level. I eventually broadened my scope and taught english and science, all part time. I went on to pursue my undergraduate degree and am now pursuing my MBA at Mercer University, Atlanta. I continue to teach as a passion whenever I get the opportunity to.

Students have a gift for learning, but difficulty in applications. I have a very special way of working with children to understand underlying problems with their personal difficulties in learning, strategically show students new applications and memory skills to use to increase comprehension, thus the student understands and is motivated to learn. I make learning fun, hands-on, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Students see progress and are intensely energetic to learn more.
I have taught AP Physics, AP Biology, Chemistry, and Ecology for 10 years, taught MG Science, 5th grade, Kindergarten and Pre-K. I am GA State certified and on the state Literacy/Comprehension Board, and Special Ed endorsed. I have tutored all levels of students to include gifted, ELL, ESOL, and special challenged students.

Being a Georgia Southern graduate, I learned to enforce high level thinking and appreciation of education. I received a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering Technology, which has enabled me to get a feel of hands feel in the area of math and science. With previous work experience my communication and grammatical skills are at a professional level and have helped me be a successful engineer. During the last two years of college I volunteered at tutoring young minds in math and science which allowed me to share my knowledge with young generations of great thinkers.
I feel that teaching will not only inform young minds to think differently or make them more motivated to learn. But to allow one to master his or her knowledge in general, teaching allows oneself to fully understand the subject in their own minds. Young minds such as children are easily impacted by an adult, which I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching all age groups. My teaching/tutoring experience has exposed me to kids from Pre-K-Grade 12. I am very patient, creative and outgoing. From my experience I know that education is valuable but it also needs determination and focus from each individual. Therefore i know that half of the job of a teacher is to teach a child, the other half is let the child enjoy learning, with this teaching style there are no limits.
I graduated from one of the top business schools in Georgia. I am very driven and enjoy learning and teaching. Currently I have a BA degree in Finance and Accounting and now working towards a BS and MS program for Columbia University in NYC. I also have a extended 5 years experience in both fields working with Fortune 500 Companies. During the last 7 years I have tutored several students in Math, Finance and Accounting. I also have excellent grammatical ski ... read more

With enthusiasm and a caring attitude I help students to engage in learning. I hope to see students' sense of confindece grow by encouraging them to achieve small goals, practice, and tackle progressively larger challenges. By providing models for good note-taking skills, organization of concepts, and tools to solve word problems, I help students learn skills that will help them in any circumstance. As a tutor, I can give individual attention as a student solves a problem. It helps a student to trust their style, ask a question in the moment, and learn to see new ways of problem solving. Some students learn by structure and repetition. Some students prefer discussing relevance to everyday life. I listen to the student and work with their learning style be it visual, auditory, or kinestetic. With an appropriate balance of encouragement and challenge, I help students to reach excellen ... read more
