Enthusatic elementary teacher with a passion for teaching!

Enthusiastic, loving and passionate for teaching.
I taught for two years in third grade and two years in second grade in North Carolina. I am currently awaiting my Virginia elementary education license. I prepared third grade students for the End of Grade state standardized test, in which my classes did very well. As a teacher in North Carolina, I communicated frequently with parents, worked daily with co-workers to review student data for the purpose of remediation, and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of my diverse students. I helped to prepare students for the demands of a 21st century economy through daily use of technology, collaborative learning groups and hands-on, inquiry based instruction. Character building skills were incorporated in all academic areas. As an elementary school teacher, I prepared students to be independent, life-long learners.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching students at various ages and stages of development. I consider myself to be very creative, and I try to give the students as much hands-on experience as possible. I am constantly seeking feedback from the student in terms of how well I am presenting the subject matter, so my methods of teaching will vary. I am always open to new ideas. Failure is not a word in my teaching vocabulary. I will always find a way to reach and teach my student in such a way that learning and application are maximized.

A Little Bit About Me...

The greatest reward one can achieve is to see the smile on someones face when they have found success in understanding something they felt impossible. I feel that there is no single method to learning, instead it is each individuals character that defines their own learning methods. I like to seek out what drives an individual to help them find their own passion about learning. With everything I do in life I go 150% and never give up. I hope that I can spread this outlook and motivation to others and help them find the true value in their education.
I am a senior studying Animal and Poultry Sciences at Virginia Tech. I have always had a personal passion for education and have enjoyed spreading the joys of learning and understanding to my peers, siblings, and friends. I excel in the subject areas of Math and Science, however have extensive writing skills.

I really enjoy being around kids and helping them learn new things. When you teach a kid something and they finally get it, the sight of their face lighting up is priceless. I believe that one should teach using a variety of methods because all kids do not learn the same way and each individual method shows something new each time. I believe tha ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer in teaching a student using hands-on experience. Each child has been given the intellect and imagination to successfully compose and write his or her thoughts into an established piece of literature. By using a students own experience his learning process is instilled and encouraged by not only the teacher but himself. As the student progresses and he practices more, his work advances with him. A child must understand what is truly being asked of him, before he can successfully fulfill it, and the teacher must respect and listen to the student in order for her to help the student to excel.
For more than ten years, I have been teaching different styles and varieties of English Composition and Grammar as well as High School Spanish. Whether it’s a facet of elementary Creative Writing or developing a thesis for a high school term paper or designing newspaper adve ... read more
