I believe that students do not learn the same way. My teaching style incorporates all learning styles.

I have seen through substituting that there are many children who need extra attention to help them understand a certain subject. Tutoring will allow me to give them the one-on-one they need to learn something that is hard in a classroom setting. I like to connect with the children immediately and try to use examples of real-life situations to guide their learning. I believe a good learning technique is to use the things the children are familiar with and try to apply it to what I am teaching them. Substitute Teaching has given me experience in teaching on a daily basis with complete different sets of itinerary. Within minutes I have to read lesson plans and quide classes through the instruction provided.

I enjoy working with young children and high school kids. I believe that it is important to get anyone I teach to be active in the education they are recieving.

One on one approach until the lesson is grasped by the student has proven to work more than group settings. Once the area of concern is lea
