More About This Tutor...

After graduating from Georgetown University in Washington D.C., I returned to Wyoming to work in politics and government. I have been asked to teach chapters on Government in the local high schools as well as teaching Sunday School classes locally in Cheyenne. I serve in the State Legislature as well as working in the community to help youth succeed in their goals.
I try to create a fun learning environment, ensuring the youth can ask questions, have flexibility at their learning speed and still master the material in ways that will stay with them. Depending on the subject area, I like to give hypotheticals, questions and real-world examples that will help achieve memorization easier.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a University of Wyoming graduate, I have had the life long dream to teach young children. I have earned one bachelor degree in elementary education and recently pursued my masters degree in reading and literacy through Walden University. I currently teach fourth grade and have the experience of teaching reading, writing, math, social studies and science. I plan on furthering my education through professional developments and other education resources.
Teaching is the most rewarding job there is to offer. I enjoy teaching all types of children in a variety of subjects. It is my belief that all children can learn. It is finding how a child learns is the key to a childs success in school. I am a high structured teacher that has the patience and willingness to find what it takes for a student to learn. If given the opportunity to teach children individually I will make sure it will ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a bachelor's degree in Specaial and Elementary education and have completed 45+ continuing credit hours. Many of the credit hours that I have accumulated have been in refining my teaching skills in mathematics, reading, and writing. I have 11 years of teaching experience in public schools. My experience has been mostly with primary-aged children, though I have taught children through sixth grade. I enjoy working one-on-one with children and have done so in my classroom and through before and after school tutoring sessions. I have several years of experience teaching reading and writing in summer school sessions for students going into second and third grades.
Children are intrinsically curious and interested learners. My role as an educator is to provide a safe environment for risk-taking that engages learners. Developing a relationship with the children is always part ... read more

I have recently been introduced to the teaching field by substituting elementary students at the local school. Im a social-able person which helps me interact with the students better. Students feel comfortable with me because they think that I'm a outgoing person easy to relate to. I have patience with the students because I go at a pace that suits the students needs therefore it makes the students comfortable to learn. If they have a question I show them exactly how to accomplish tasks. I believe patience is a virtue to having success in the learning process of a student.

My tutoring began while I was studying at Montana State University. My Junior year I enrolled in a class that was based around community service and my role was tutoring middle school aged children. The tutoring was in a small group setting and was on any subject the children needed help in but mainly in reading comprehension. After college, I attended Via Lingua where I became certified to teach ESL. It was here that my tutor experience expanded. For 4 months, I not only taught night classes but tutored on a one-one basis with students who needed further assistance. After moving back to the U.S., I got a job at American Cultural Exchange at Montana State University. When I started here my first job was tutoring 3 students from Japan. In these sessions, we concentrated on everything from grammar and conversation skills to reading comprehension.

A Little Bit About Me...

Each child that walks into my classroom deserves an excellent education from a caring and committed teacher. Each student deserves to work and learn in a structured, well-organized and comfortable environment. My responsibility as an educator is to provide my students with the skills they will utilize and apply inside and outside the walls of the classroom. As an educator, I must maintain a relationship of mutual respect with the students and allow them to express opinions and ideas in the classroom. The classroom should be a place for the exchange and acquisition of knowledge for both the teacher and the student. My goal as an educator is to provide all of my students the opportunity to gain a quality education that leads to a pursuit of higher education or an improved role in the workforce.

I believe that in order to help a student you must first be able to connect with him/her. That could mean understanding a student’s background, researching the latest video games or playing softball after class. For example, several of the girls I worked with at the JEI Learning Center, spoke very little English. Often they got frustrated and just sort of shut down -- stopped responding. At first I tried to have them draw pictures but when that didn't work, I asked them to show me something from home. They folded cranes and strawberries out of the paper that I gave them. Though the exercise didn't help them understand verb tense, it did help build trust between us. After that, when they felt insecure or confused, I was less intimidating.

A Little Bit About Me...

As I think of my life without teaching, I cannot imagine what else I would be doing. I believe that children learn in a variety of ways. Some through listening, some through reading or watching, and some through doing. My goal is to find the way that works for each child and use that method to help them on their way to reaching their full potential.
I graduated from the University of Wyoming within 3 1/2 years and student taught in first grade. Since then, I have been teaching in several preschool programs and spent part of one year as a long term substitute for a Title 1 program. This position enabled me to spend extra time and gain experience in the Guided Reading program.

From teaching preschoolers how to read to teaching high school students how to survive (and enjoy!) Algebra, I find it rewarding to discover how individual students learn and then help them to succeed in their efforts. I love kids and am able to relate to different age levels and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and has unique strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to be able to teach children fundamental concepts that translate into solving specific problems. For example, I teach phonics as a base for reading so that students are able to use the concepts they have learned to sound out new words. In math courses, I not only aid in completing particular equations, but I also make sure the student understands the principles and applies them in other situations. I desire to partner with parents in helping their child achieve academic excellence.

I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.
During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.
