My experience, specifically within the past two years, has been extensive. During this time spent at Webster University I was hired by the Student Literacy Corps, a non-profit organization funded by the university for the purpose of educating students in the St. Louis Public School District in English and writing. In addition to experience in the classroom in developing and implementing lesson plans and developing interpersonal skills with children of many ages, I also studied subjects such as calculus, astrophysics, South African history, and music theory. My experience in school has made me a well-rounded academic, and my experience outside of school has made me a well-rounded educator. I have confidence that I possess the tools necessary to help a child excel in any subject they choose to study. My goal is to help children in any context that I can.

I have worked with children from preschool-12th grade both professionally and personally. I get along well with children, and try to hone in on a child's personality and how they learn best. (Visual, Learning by doing, Verbal) I also try to see what issues the child is having problems with - that could be not understanding what is required, or not having mastered certain skills that are necesary to build on to obtain the next level of achievement. I love to motivate and usually bring a reward to students - gum, temporary tattoos, or a cool pen or pencil. I am currently a graduate student in a Clinical Counseling Program. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2002 with a 3.89 GPA, my current graduate GPA is 4.0. I have previously worked as a Substitute Teacher and Remedial Reading Tutor for fifth and sixth graders while in college. I have worked as a Sunday School Teacher

I believe in motivation and positive reinforcement to help students reach their full potential. I want each student to know that his/her opinion is valued and important. I strive to teach students to think critically and to learn how to learn, rather than how to memorize. I want to instill self-esteem in the learning process and make it a part of the student's daily life. I am patient and driven. As a practicing attorney, I have spent the past four years teaching my clients to navigate the often intimidating legal process. In 2006, I received my Juris Doctorate from Saint Louis University School of Law with a concentration in criminal litigation. I received my undergraduate degree (B.A.) in Political Science from Saint Louis University in May of 2003. In the fall of 2006, I worked as a substitute teacher for the Fox School District in Jefferson County, Missouri. In addition, I have

I have always possessed the desire, dedication and discipline to encourage students to achieve success, while actively responding to total school needs. I try to bring out the best in my students by maintaing the learning standards in the environment which encourages positive risk taking and active student particapation. I belive in using a variety of creative lessons by teaching the "facts" but leading the students to synthesize and reflect on issues. Teaching is my passion. Students respond positively to my calm and nurturing manner and consequently work hard at learning. As a Special Educator, I have experience in teaching, planning and supervising with students of all ages within the educational environment. My career resposibilities include collaborating with faculty, students and the community to provide implementation and accommodations for individuals with special needs.I have w

Since I have been coaching, I knew that I wanted to continue with passing on my knowledge to others. I believe that through teaching the passing of my knowledge can be most rewarding. Although I have worked with students in various fields and of various ages, I get the most satisfaction from watching a student succeed from diligent hard work and personal commitment to learning the task at hand. I feel that tutoring in a one-on-one setting best exemplifies this. Throughout my college years, I was involved in coaching high school aged students in baseball as well as younger kids in a baseball camp. During my last year of college, I helped with a after school tutoring program that included students up to the sixth grade. All subjects were covered and tutoring was done in one-on-one as well as small group settings. My bachelor's degree is from a self designed major I had developed to best fi

I focus on beginning with a student where they are at on a certain topic. I mold a lesson to integrate as much as possible with the student's pre-existing life interests. In nine years of teaching high school, my evaluators always compliment my use of fun and humor in keeping students engaged. I have been teaching and coaching athletics for nine years, mostly high school science, but also reading, SAT/ACT preparation, and other topics. I have also published two children's books and three young adult fiction books. My B.S. is in Biochemistry from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

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

I know exactly what teachers and administrators are looking for in “good writing,” but this isn’t something that I was born with or that came naturally—it is a learned skill that my own teachers have cultivated by building upon the skills I brought to the classroom. As such, the most influential facet of my own teaching philosophy is my commitment to respecting student intelligences. If my students are not confident in the abilities they bring with them to the tutoring session, then the likelihood of facilitating sustainable improvement in the student drops dramatically. In light of this, my tutoring style foregrounds the importance of first reinforcing the knowledge my students already have and then building off of this knowledge. After having earned both my bachelor’s and my master’s in the St. Louis area, I decided to commit myself to bettering students through education in this area.

Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious! I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've worked wit

I have over eight years experience as a professional educator. It is a privilege to help students become more confident and feel successful in their abilities. I have worked with students of different ages and ability levels. I love helping students realize their personal potential and reach an understanding of something of which they didn't realize they were capable. I firmly believe that every student has great potential for learning. It is my job as an educator to meet them where they are and help them unlock that potential. I infuse humor, real-world connections, and personal experience into my lessons to make them more meaningful for my students.
