My teaching style is a combination of different methodologies based on the needs of the person whom I am teaching. No one style will fit all persons but the main methods that I use are discussion (Q&A) and hands-on. I like to use visuals such as pictures, slides, and other presentation methods to make the history and or subject more interactive and mentally stimulating as well as memorable. I believe that the more a student is active in the classroom using their five senses the more that they will process and retain. I even like to put a dash or more of humor into each presentation to make the student feel at ease and let them know it is fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

If you looked over my resume, you would see that I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, a year of experience as an adjunct instructor at a medical career college and two years teaching English as a Second Language at a private institution. However, if you looked over my life, you would see that I have been teaching, tutoring and mentoring my entire life. I have volunteered as a mentor, a tutor, and a teacher in community organizations, in local schools, and at my local church; and I home schooled my own children. During my teaching career, I have worked with people from varied backgrounds, various ages, people from all over the world, and I love it.
What works for one student may not work for the other. One-on-one instruction is a great opportunity to find out which learning-teaching style works best for the individual student. I am patient, friendly and flexible. At the s ... read more

I have a great deal of experience training fellow employees and have devised the system of show them once, let them do it once while talking them through it, and then let them do it once without assistance. This system also translates to teaching. The last step is the most important; it forces the student to think for him or herself and instills confidence that the problem is not beyond his or her level of understanding. It is very important to teach students how to figure things out for themselves – probably the most important lesson I learned at UVa. If a child knows how to utilize resources such as the textbook, example problems, and the internet, then he or she will be able to work independently through a tough problem.
Education has always been extremely important to me. To me there is no greater feeling than finally grasping a difficult concept and I love helping someone ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My students in college say that I have a laid-back style, with a sense of humor and a willingness to help students who need anything. I believe in using a variety of teaching methods to help students learn in their own ways, whether they are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. With a background in theater, I try to use my creativity to make learning fun.
I love teaching! I'm a people person who enjoys working with all kinds of people. I have a bachelor's degree in Drama, a music minor, and a Master's degree in English education. I have 7 years' experience teaching English at the college level. I also wrote entertainment articles for a local magazine for 4 years, and I have a book published. I'm eager to see what I can do for you!
