I am able to effectively teach a group of kids, and I am also comfortable with the one on one teaching style. Regardless of the environment, I know how to make sure the needs of every student is met. I have always had the ability to effectively teach my family, peers, and other classmates. However, I recently decided to get into the field of tutoring. My very first session, I fell in love with it. I am understanding that each student has different needs, different strengths and weaknesses. It is my job to reward those strengths, figure out those weaknesses and strengthen them. I am a young lady myself, but I know that the youth is our future. If I am able to have an impact on at least one student and their educational endeavors, I am pleased. Education is the key that will unlock the doors to the future of our youth.

Throughout my college years I have been employed by two different after school programs for a combined amount of 6 years tutoring/teaching in public school after school programs. (Grades K-6) I also spent 2 months teaching full time 3rd and 4th grade after college prior to unfortunately being laid off due to financial losses in the school. I also tutored English in college through an Advanced English class I was placed in. I have a passion and calling for working with children. From the time I was a child, I knew this is what I was meant to do. I believe children are the hope of our country, and that every child is capable of learning and expanding their knowledge. Knowledge is power, and if a child is given the proper encouragement and motivation they can and will succeed. I consider it an amazing privilege to be an educator and make a difference in the lives of my students.

I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor. My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.

Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject.

I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style.

I love working with children and helping them discover the world around them. Every child is capable of learning, but in his or her own way, and the key is find what works best for each one. I am patient, considerate, and kind, treating each child as I like to be treated. I try to build on past experiences and knowledge so the child can relate what is being taught to his or her world, making it relevant to the here and now. Every child can realize their learning potential if their teachers provide a safe and appropriate environment. My goal is to provide that environment, and help them achieve the academic success they need, and thus make a difference in their lives. My BA degree in General Studies: Humanities/Fine & Performing Arts gives me a broad base in general education, allowing me to be better able to help young students in their scholastic endeavors.

I love teaching people of all ages how to become life learners. I believe that each person learned in their own way, and finding the method that works for that person opens a whole new world for the person. I am patient and easy going. I believe that it is important to build upon what the person already knows and understands to build their confidence in themselves and their ability to learn. By doing this, I try to make learning fun and leave the person with the desire to learn more on their own. I was a high achiever in school and continue to teach myself new things each day. I have and AA and a BBA in Accounting, and an Masters of Business Administration. Though this education, I have gained an understanding of math, accounting, business and human resources.
