My comments on tutoring Basic Learning Skills : I worked as a social worker and coached both adults and children in the home, school, and work settings.

My teaching style incorporates all learning styles, because I am a firm believer that we all learn differently. I am a very patient and passionate teacher. Being excited about the subject is key to being a successful teacher. However, I expect my students to be motivated and to give 100 percent effort to their studies.
I studied Elementary Education during my undergraduate. During this time, I was a student teacher on several different occasions. I assisted the home room teacher and independently planned and taught lessons to the students. I have worked with grades 1 to 5 as a student teacher. I enjoyed teaching and was a very passionate teacher, but I realized that work as a social worker would allow me to help my students on a more personal level. During my work as a social worker, I worked with clients in the school and home setting. I educated teachers and school staff ... read more

Helping students to Become Life Long Learners

I enjoy working with students and am comfortable to go at their own pace. I encourage students and help them to succeed. I also enjoy making up lesson plans or practice work so that students can practice their new skills. I love to learn new things and try to pass on my enthusiasm for learning to my students as well. I can also help with homework or special projects whatever, the student needs.
I have worked with many different ages of children as a tutor and volunteer. I worked for the America Reads program at IUPUI while I was working on my degree. I was a reading coach and was in charge of working with elementary students that struggled with reading and comprehension. I also volunteered as a reading coach for the HOSTS program at Garden City Elementary School. I enjoy teaching students how to become better readers and I plan on finishing my elementary education degree wi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having two wonderful elementary teachers, I was inspired to become a teacher. I graduated in 1988 with an Elementary Education degree. I began my career as a teacher's aide but soon decided to be a stay-at-home mom to my two children. In 1994, I began to home teach my three children. I graduated my youngest in 2008. In 2004, I substitute taught for two local school districts. In spring 2008 I renewed my teaching license. I received my first teaching job at a Christian school in Indianapolis where I taught first grade. The school downsized so I resigned allowing the tenured teachers to keep their jobs. (I was the last hired, therefore would have been the first to go). Since that time, I have been a substitute teacher and a tutor.
I love teaching. I care deeply for my students and their individual learning needs. I am able to combine an inviting learning environment with good discip ... read more

I enjoy working with students of all ages. Currently I teach Pre-Kindergarten, but have expensive experience working with middle school and high school students. I am very patient and understanding. I love to make learning fun and practical. The best moment in teaching is when a student has an "ah ha” moment where everything just clicks. I strive to make that difference in a student's life.

More About This Tutor...

I sincerely enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe that all children have the ability and want to learn, but each are unique and it takes getting to know the child and what strategies will engage them and work best. I love to see people succeed and am willing to go to any measure to help children achieve success education-wise and in life. It is important for children to have positive role models and be comfortable with the person teaching them in order to make progress. I can relate very well to children and will be able to get them to learn in the best way for them as an individual. I look forward to helping, advancing, and making a difference in all of my students' lives.

Teaching children is a passion of mine. All children are different, therefore they learn in many ways. I believe it is essential to include various activities in the classroom that allow students to gain knowledge and information they need. I believe that integrating technology, music, dance, and physical activities help students learn. Using manipulatives and hands-on activities will allow students to not only learn the material, but discover that learning is fun! I believe that with positive classrooms and encouragement, all children will find joy in learning and reach their potential. With each student I come into contact with, I make it a point to help them become life long learners and apply what they’ve learned to their everyday life.
