My strength is my flexibility and creativity. I have held an array of positions ranging from reading coach to principal.

A blend of traditional and contemporary teaching techniques are utilized to ensure learning. Hands-on lessons using a variety of mediums are used to maximize retention of skills. Lesson concepts are taught in smaller increments and connections are made to daily experiences so that skills are memorized and easily applied.

I graduated with a Bachelor's in English from Troy University Dothan in December 2009. Since I opted for a Bachelor's in English rather than a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education, I took more writing and literature classes. In all of my English Literature classes, I had numerous writing assignments that helped me learn how to write. I also took writing and grammar classes which helped improve my writing skills tremendously. I tutored when I was in Jr. High School. The student I tutored was learning how to read. I enjoyed the challenge of teaching him to read. I have also taught Sunday School at various age levels. I love working with children. I have taught Sunday School classes at various age levels. I believe that each child is different and learns in his/her own way on his/her own time-table; therefore, I work with each child differently depending on their needs. I try to teach

I love to see the glimmer in students' eyes when they understand information and make the necessary connections. My first priority is to encourage students in obtaining the self-confidence for mastery. I believe that all some students need is a few successes to make a drastic difference in their performance. I teach students to view information in a new light, with new understandings, that is comfortable for them and that they can recall. I am patient, considerate, and challenging. I do not settle for anything less than the student's best and will allow them time to develop it.

As a mentor, teacher and/or tutor, it is my responsibility to know who my learners are, what kinds of knowledge and experience they bring to the group, and what they want to achieve so that I can tailor a curriculum that fits their needs and yet leaves enough room to accommodate topics that emerge from group discovery.

I absolutely love teaching. I love the feeling I get when teaching and that one child that has had trouble finally gets that ah-ha moment, where everything clicks. It's amazing to see that glow and excitement in their face. Every child deserves a chance. It is hard to give one on one teaching while in a classroom but through tutoring each child can have that and learn by hands on experience. I want my students to know that there is someone out there that does see and believe that they have the potential to do anything that they set their minds to do. I graduated from a private college in Jackson, Ms.where I majored in English . I have four children of my own.

I believe the teacher needs to create a safe learning environment, explore different learning styles, and always keep in mind Bloom's Taxonomy.(yes, the fundamentals are still important) I prefer to teach students the curriculum, not teach curriculum to the students. Students need a chance to discover, explore and apply prior learning principles to progress successfully to a different level of learning. And finally, the most important... LEARNING IS FUN! LET IT HAPPEN! I started teaching professionally in Tampa, Florida in 1992. I continued to teach in the Florida Public Schools until 1999 before I returned to school to earn my Master's. Now, I teach English to Adults at Wallace Community College, which I have been doing since 2003. I love what I do.

Having taught in several community colleges, from 1981 to 2000, I have interacted with the young, middle aged, and elderly, having taught and learned from the single, the married, the multi-marrieds, of varied backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities, of different race, pigmentation, nationality, gender, creed, and religion. I consider myself as both teacher and student. I have come to realize that in life, each of us, no matter how highly educated, will ever remain an undergraduate in the university of life.I look at teaching as an opportunity for me to become even more proficient and knowledgeable in my field of expertise even as I teach my students to live up to their potential in my classroom. In class, I prefer a relaxed atmosphere, with emphasis on each student as a person, not inferior to the teacher, just not as yet knowledgeable enough to teach the subject at hand. In li
