As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.

Most people have a fear of math, and I feel that everyone is capable of learning the material. It depends on the amount of time that one dedicates that will determine whether they will understand the material. My approach to teaching is to go step by step and not cutting any corners. I teach my students to take the time to go through every step to condition them into doing it correctly. My method uses lots of visuals and examples. followed by allowing the student to try on their own once they have practiced enough. I try to simulate test situations to make them feel more comfortable for the test. During my college education I worked for a high school as a teaching assistant. At this school I was able to teach and help students with their various assignments from various subjects. Sometimes the teacher would allow me to teach the math portion of the class because he knew I was capable. I

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. There's never a dull moment, because the children are learning at different speeds and it's exciting when each one latches on to a concept. I make sure to differentiate instruction to suit the individual needs of all of my students. I am very patient, caring, and understanding. I have a bachelor's degree in history and a master's in teaching in elementary education. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade and have also tutored throughout the year and during the summer. Both students I tutored were 1st graders and I tutored them in mainly reading and math. One student was struggling academically and I really had to work with her on sight words, comprehension, etc. The other student was working above grade level and I had to fine ways to challenge him as well as keep reviewing old information. I also work in an after school program teaching reading skill

I am an enthusiastic and seasoned professional who is passionate about the value of quality human service with a natural affinity to assist, advocate and encourage.

During high school I attended a special program, Health and Medical Occupations Academy, developed for students who wanted a career in the medial field. My high school classes were oriented towards the medical profession. In addition I was required to take anatomy/ physiology, biology, and several nursing classes. I am currently a 2 year medical student. Before entering medical school I worked voluntarily for an orphanage in Mexico. During my time at the orphanage (about 4 years) I participated in tutoring the children, of all ages, with school work and English. I have worked with small children to adults, teaching English and school subjects. I work best with pre-teens- adults, however have no problem teaching small children. Tutoring is important for me because many times during my educational career I have needed tutoring myself, in regards to language barriers.

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that every person is capable of understanding and learning, provided the right teaching method is used. I am patient and take the time to teach my students the subject at hand--mostly using logic and analogies as examples. I usually quiz them as I teach, always assuring they understand and not moving forward until everything is well understood. When one method doesn't work, I try another method. I don't ever give up on my students. I know they can learn. It's just a matter of how, finding the right method, and applying it. I graduated from the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business with a degree in business administration. I majored in International Business and Finance, with a minor in French.
