I enjoy tutoring a great deal because you can help the students gain confidence in themselves to do better with hard work and discpline. Everyone learns different and I try to find the best way to incorpate all styles of learning into my tutoring, so everyone is learning. I like to get the students involved in the learning by them showing they understand by examples and activities. I want them to know and understand the lesson I am teaching. As a student who was assisted by tutoring, I would be glad to help other students achieve excellence in their studies and gain confidence in themselves. I have been a tutor since I was in a freshmen in high school. I have tutored students in English and reading skills. I tutored a group of sixth graders, who approved their state academic scores. It was a great joy for them to see they could do it.

My teaching style is to first teach the basic principles and then teach how they can be extended and used to solve problems. By helping students understand the fundamentals and problem solving techniques, they are able to think for themselves. This allows them to think more independently and solve a wider variety of problems without relying on memorization. I have experience in engineering which includes a solid understanding of math, calculus, statistics as well as physics. I have applied and practiced these skills in various business industries over my 12 year working career. I also have experience teaching at the under graduate level for the Measurement and Instrumentation course in the engineering program at Iowa State University.

Though science was never my best or favorite subject, I excelled in tenth grade chemistry because my teacher took time to personally explain what I didn't understand. I want to offer that kind of personal attention to students today. I am patient and gentle, but also capable of firmly enforcing expectations. Every child is different, and I want to help provide a comprehensive education that takes into account the child's unique personality and learning style. A good educator can improve not only a child's education, but also his whole life. It's my goal to be that kind of educator. I lived in Indonesia from third grade until I graduated from an international high school. While there I experienced a unique intersection of education and culture; my classmates represented more than ten countries. I learned to speak Indonesian and French, but more importantly I learned the value of educatio

In order to be an effective teacher one must possess the ability to create an engaging, positive classroom that not only focuses on the major subjects but incorporate the arts as well. I feel that children learn in various different ways and incorporating different methods of effective instruction students will gain the knowledge they need to succeed. I will use new and innovative ways to instruct each and every child in the classroom. Teaching in an environment that possesses a positive energy as well as an active learning environment is the key to successful education. They will be able to incorporate what they learn each and every day in the classroom and apply it to everyday life.

While working with students at the UNC Hospital School in Chapel Hill, I discovered a passion for helping the non-traditional student to achieve success in the traditional classroom setting. I found that patience was most important, but also by making the material relevant for the students, they were able to reach an understanding of the material. I have also found that allowing students to find and utilize their strengths is vital, which is why I believe in instruction through the multiple intelligences. Every student is intelligent in his or her own way, and it is my goal to help them use that intelligence in all their endeavors. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and their North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program. In the Teaching Fellows Program, I was able to interact with students in a variety of settings, including one-on-one and in the classroom.

While some teachers favor a direct instruction approach, I try to tailor my instruction to the growing and diverse needs of each student. Some are more auditory learners than others, therefore, for those you would need a lot of teaching by rote, i.e "do as I do", so to speak. My paid professional teaching experince includes one year working as a Special Education Paraprofessional for 2-4 grade stundents classified with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders. My undergraduate degree from Valdosta State University was in music education.
