I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the most, and I ended up getting so much more out of the course. I figure that, if a student likes the teacher, he or she will pay more attention and have a deeper respect for the teacher. The teacher then can use this trust to push the student a little more, intellectually. I find that is what works best for me. I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the exams

I have been working with children for about 4 years. I am currently working on my Masters in Elementary Education, and am a 2nd grade teacher in Austin. This is my first year of teaching. I was an intern in a kindergarten classroom, and student taught in 3rd grade. My resume is available upon request. It is my opinion that every child has the ability to learn and be successful, but not every child is going to do that in the same way. I strive to provide all students with a safe and respectful learning environment where their thoughts and creativity are honored and cultivated. I have a genuine interest in the well-being of all students, and want to inspire them to become lifelong learners and problem solvers.
