I enjoy helping others and have often volunteered my proofreading and editing skills to my friends, family, and classmates.

I believe in a multifaceted approach to the different types of learners, aural, visual, kinesthetic, and reading/writing and aim to incorporate all learning styles in my teaching. I watched my brother struggle through school and learning disabilities all his life, so I tutored him through math and English since 7th grade. I found if you connect with a student and create ways that speak to him, you can foster learning. I helped my brother write flow charts on full-length mirrors to chart plotlines from books. He was a kinesthetic learner and this method of engaging worked for him. If you don’t create an environment that the students enjoy, they’ll keep texting or turn on their ipod again. The door of learning opens by discovering which type of learner a student is, and creating teaching tools that appeal to him/her. Through patience, kindness, encouragement, and some creative assignments,

I began tutoring when I was in high school and enjoyed it immensely. When I got to college, I became a German teaching assistant. My favorite part was office hours. I love working with students individually. I earned a bachelor’s degree in German and Linguistics; I also took 16 credits each of biology and chemistry. After finishing college, I completed a training course for teaching certification in Texas. In the past year, I have tutored students in German, English and English as a Second Language. Numerous studies have shown that children have different learning styles. I believe that tailoring to a student’s individual style is the most effective way to teach. Consequently, the first session will be spent in identifying your child’s unique style. Before tutoring begins, I like to sit down with the parents and student to identify educational goals. Once goals and learning sty

Through working in Outdoor Education I have developed a very complex teaching style. I find that all students learn differently which means that to be a successful educator, I must be creative and present information in numerous ways. I feel as though I have a great ability to connect with different students' learning styles which allows me to incorporate many different teaching styles. I find great joy in seeing students excel in whatever challenge is set before them. I believe it is extremely important that I make sure to instill confidence in students when they do achieve success. I have a B.A. in Accounting as I have a great passion for the financial world.

My teaching style is enthusiastic; I desire to help students encounter who they are and imagine what they can achieve through their education. As an educator, I am energetic, compassionate and flexible in my approach to student needs. I understand my role as an engaged fellow learner, rather than a reserved teacher-authority. Because I believe that learning is a dynamic, uneven process and this process is often different for every person, my teaching philosophy is student-centered. I strive to create a conversational, open space where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. I celebrate the significant, unique inquiry each student brings into the classroom. In one-on-one conferences, I encourage self-reflection, asking students to identify questions or difficulties we can explore together. I challenge students to be self-accountable, even as I hold students accountable

With my years of being around and in an educational environment, I have picked up patterns of repetition and summary to reinforce ideas being conveyed. I, myself, learn best by doing. Through studying adult learning styles, I discovered that studies show utilizing all facets of learning - writing, audio, visual, and hands on - leads to the highest levels of retention. I teach by 1) talking by the student to determine his or her best learning style and 2) utilizing the various methods listed above so that the student can retain the maximum amount of information through his or her best learning style. If someone would pay me to be a student, I could continue going to school for my whole life. I love to learn and come from a family of teachers.
