I have taught for years in the public school system in Kansas. I have also served our great nation in the military, and am proud to a United States veteran. I am an avid learner, and have been my entire life.

I love working with children and with adults. I especially enjoy watching a child's eyes light up when something makes sense. I value the constructivist approach to learning and encourage learning through exploration. I provide as comfortable a learning atmosphere as possible, knowing that students learn best when the least stressed. I am confident each student can learn and succeed; I am determined to find the most effective way to connect a student with new skills and understanding, knowing that each person has a way he or she learns best.

While completing my BBA and MA degrees at Wichita State University, I worked for Student Support Services, a TRIO program located on campus. For eight years I tutored low-income and first generation university students serviced by the program. By utilizing innovative tutoring techniques, I achieved a high success rate. In fact, several of my students graduated from university with honors, a goal initially thought to be unachievable. Statistics have revealed that only thirty three percent of students graduate from university, a dismal situation to say the least. I have an overwhelming desire to increase this percentage exponentially. Only then can we truly say that the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

My teaching style varies depending on the student I am working with. I try to build new skills using prior knowledge and interests. There are several different ways to explain an idea. The trick is finding the right one that the student will understand. Sometimes it takes a few tries before the student "gets it." I never give up on a student. I believe everyone can succeed with the right motivation and support. Once the student gets the concept, I let he/she work more independently while I step back as an observer of the learning. I am there to lend support when it is needed.

I believe in "polarized" teaching style. I believe in addressing attention (discovering what motivates the learner), relevance (creating links between the instruction and the learner experiences), confidence (providing learning objectives up front so it is understood what will be learned) and satisfaction (providing relevant educational experiences that will last well beyond the diploma or certificate completion) of the students. To design class sessions with active participation, variety in delivery format, and problem solving activities all to help the learner in the processing and application of course content in creative and original ways.

More About This Tutor...

I have a license in Elementary Education with an endorsement in middle school math. I am currently attending WSU for a Masters in Counseling. I have been working for the Wichita Public Schools since 2006. I have tutored at the Wichita Children's Home helping over 40 students earn their high school diplomas.
I love working with children and believe every child can not only learn, but enjoy learning. I like making learning fun. Some obstacles in learning are based on one's feelings about learning or about a particular subject. Sometimes asking the right questions can unblock the obstacle, leading to a better awareness of one’s abilities and knowledge. I have helped students find their inner strength and a better self awareness of what it takes for them to succeed.
