I am a listener first and foremost. I want to know what my students expect from me and in what areas s/he regard as most essential to her/his success. I believe all people can learn and understand. It is a pleasure to watch students grow in skill and comprehension and move toward confidence. I love teaching. I earned my BA before I was old enough to vote. While my classmates were in his/her senior year, I was teaching. Eventually I earned my M.Ed. in Reading, then started School Administration and Adult Education. In all these fields I find similar necessary skills: patience, co-operation among staff and colleagues, knowledge of subject matter, communication with the community and parents and a well defined curriculum. Moreover, I am a published author and a former writer with St. Louis Globe Democrat - Suburban Journals. As a favor to my students, I often evaluate papers for submission

I worked in the financial sector for 10 years and have a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance. Since then I have focused my efforts into freelance teaching, and have worked with students in a variety of subjects: chess, math, finance, language arts, history, piano, and writing, among others. Other subjects I’ve studied informally: literature, language, history, politics & government. I believe that each student has a unique learning style of that must be discovered in real-time. Therefore I tailor the lessons towards an open, organic, collaborative process. I focus on small incremental steps designed to build momentum and flow states, which is the best way to start anything. The goal of any lesson is to bring the student to a place where they can learn on their own. The purpose of learning is fun!

I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study.

I have taught math, economics, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, social studies, geography, english, literature, music appreciation and english composition.

My style is audience-centered and flexible based on several factors, including: - number of students - age and level of expertise/prior background and subject matter proficiency - expectations (for example, adult learners are generally specific goal-oriented, seeking tangible and at times immediate results. - evaluative determination of cognitive anchors -- from what basis of understanding can subject matter be approached that will provide the best platform for learning and discovery.

I am a very fun and energetic person, therefore, my teaching style reflects my personality. I usually use hands on activities to keep the students engaged and allow them to be responsible for their own learning. I also find that this helps them have a better understanding of the subject area and since many people do not like English class very much, my approach helps them have a new respect for the subject. Of course, I do adapt my teaching style to work with each individual student as I and the student see necessary. I believe that the students and I should have a mutual respect for one another. Therefore, I like for them to have a say in their learning and education. I have wanted to teach students my entire life. I began tutoring when I went to college. There I tutored my peers in composition and literature. As I continued my college career, I had three semesters where I taught

In Saint Louis University's college of Education and Public Service I learned to be a reflective practitioner who would always strive to provide a safe learning environment for students of all types of learning styles. I completed this course of education by student teaching at Affton High school in the English department. By teaching 5 sections of junior American Literature I matured into a teacher with a student-centered approach to teaching. As a student at Saint Louis University I also majored in English. I completed both literature and writing-based English courses-most of which were geared towards writing. When teaching a group of students I am most comfortable with collaborative learning. I believe that students learn most effectively with "hands on" activities. In the concentration area of English that includes group assignments, guided reading questions, student debates, a
