The whole child is considered when planning and implementing a learning plan. Children learn differently, therefore they need to be taught differently. I have done in home tutoring and helped students use strenghts to overcome weaknesses. Clients were a

An instructor, one must create a safe environment that is interactive and collaborative and that promotes problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By giving students a voice in class, not only do the students benefit from peer-peer learning by enriching the course material with personal experiences and knowledge, but they also take responsibility for their own learning and, therefore, enhance the integration of their new knowledge into practice. To create a safe learning environment, I encourage students to ask questions and give their views on the material we are covering. I create assignments that improve students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

I feel that we all have the aptitude to learn, yet each individual discovers that aptitude in a different manner. My first and most important goal is always to convey this to the student in an effort to let them know I believe in their abilities. The thing that allows a student to most effectively reach his or her possibilities is confidence. The future of any nation lies with the quality of the education received by its students, and this education is only as useful as the extent to which its possessors can communicate. That is what makes composition and English comprehension so vital. The brightest mind can be a prison of knowledge without the proper skills of communication. While in high school, I discovered my love for math and began tutoring classmates in that area. My interest in writing developed during my educational career at The University of Tulsa, where I had courses in advan

My passion is working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn and it depends on how you approach their learning. If a child is not learning, I need to re-evaluate how I go about teaching. I am very patient and have an outgoing personality. I believe that you must teach to the whole child before true learning can happen. I have been a classroom teacher for 9 years. All 10 of my years out of school have been in the education field. My first year out of college I taught at an unaccredited private school, and then at an accredited day care center. The next 7 years were at a public school. One year I was recruiting for scholarships at the college level. I have always opened my door to students without expectations of payment for several years. I feel that it is my duty to make sure they understand their assignments.

I have taught French and German in both public and private schools from grades 1 through the college level for over 30 years. My most recent experience was in a public high school, grades 9-12, where I taught for 25 years. I have a bachelors and a masters degree in French literature with a minor in German and am National Board Certified in French. I have also taught humanities and am certified in world civilizations. Teaching has been a motivation for me for all of my working life. I have experienced the joys of my student's successes at the high school level and then on to their university courses or in their own work experiences. It is important to explain and have students experience learning from a number of different angles. Each day involves reading, speaking, listening and writing in the target language. The more senses involved, the better a student can grasp a skill.

I believe the best way to help a child learn is to, "follow the child". I try to let the child find his own answers and simply be a cataylst between the materials and the child. It is in this way the child gains confidence and independence through the learning process. I am patient, laid back, and passionate about education. I find great joy in seeing my students become excited about their studies. I like to help my students think outside the box and be creative with their ideas. I am a graduate of a private small private college with a high standard of academic excellence. I balanced my school work with playing college volleyball, therefore I know what it takes to be dedicated and work hard. I hold a bachelor's degree in History as well as teaching certification in the Montessori Method for ages 3-6 yrs. I have certification in Southern Appalachian Ecology earned from the Tremont

I was accepted into AmeriCorps*NCCC, a community-based, government-run volunteer program upon my college graduation in 2003. Over the course of the next year, I was able to participate in projects that included working with the homeless, foodbanks, environmental projects, Habitat for Humanity and various educational programs. It was during my time as a teacher and tutor at an elementary school in a very low-income area in Sacramento, California, that I discovered my knack for teaching. Although I received my BA in English Writing, I never thought to pursue teaching as a career. It was because of the AmeriCorps-inspired love of travel, thirst for knowledge and the education award I received upon my completion of service that inspired me to continue my education at OSU-Tulsa. While working on my MA in TESL, I have been able to teach at the University of Tulsa, Tulsa Community College and w
