I am a recent graduate from Purdue University - Calumet. I majored in English Literature and plan on obtaining my teaching certificate in the state of Florida. I have not had much experience. I have helped friends and family when in need of assistance with English. I have always been a good speller, and am willing to help anyone who is looking for it. I know how hard school can be and want to help your children to be more comfortable and confident. I am a hands-on, visual learner, but not everyone is the same. I am able to adapt to each child's specific learning style. If I am explaining something and the student is unable to grasp the concept, I want them to feel completely comfortable asking me to explain it in a different way. I like to be able to know the student a little more personal level, to understand their way of thinking. That way I can think of ways that will hopefully help t

I truly enjoy working with students of all ages. It doesn't matter what they don't know because I believe anyone can be taught anything, at least as long as you have the right teacher and materials at your disposal. I believe students are like little sponges. They're taking in everything around them. Obviously, if you fill their heads with garbage, they will learn garbage. However, if you fill their heads with quality information, you explain it in a way that they understand, and you make it fun for them to learn, then they will learn everything you're trying to teach. There are thousands of educators, but only a few real teachers who can get a message across in such a way that the student doesn't just do the work, they UNDERSTAND what they're doing and why. As far as I'm concerned, if a student doesn't learn something, it's not because he didn't try. It's because I failed to teach him i

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles. I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

I believe all children are capable of learning. We need to adjust to help everyone learn. Student- centered learning and constructivism are key components in student learning. Once again, my personal belief of education is "You only get out what you put in". I have taught for a total of 11 years. I taught in Prince George's Public schools for 5 years, Hyde Leadership Public Charter School in DC for 1 year, Avon Park High School for 2 years, Hardee Junior High for 1 year, and Bill Duncan Opportunity Center (alternative school) for 2 years.

Math is my first love. I recently completed an Intel Teach Essential Online Course in which I created a unit plan focusing on technology and 21st century learning. I learned a lot about motivating and encouraging students to be active participants in their learning. I strongly believe that every child can learn if given the right amount of time, instruction, motivation, and attention. I also bel

I have been working with children for several years. I started by teaching dance at a local dance studio while I was in high school. It was from this experience that I chose to go to college to become a teacher. I have a degree in Elementary Education and am ESOL certified. I have experience as a substitute teacher and have worked with both elementary and middle school students. I understand that all children learn differently and I am able to adapt my teaching style to fit the child. I am both patient and positive and I like to give the student confidence. My goal is to not only help the child learn, but to also give them a sense of confidence. It is important that each student believe in his or herself as well as their capabilities.

I believe that children can learn in many different ways. I am constantly researching different ways and techniques I can use in the classroom to better assist each student. I try to mix traditional teaching methods with fun games, facts, and activities that help to engage the learner. I have been told by many of my students that they still do not like English, but they love having me as their English teacher. English has always been my best subject. It was natural for me to major in English Education when I decided to go back to college. I believe that when I teach English, I make it fun but most importantly, understandable. I love reading and reviewing the different genres that this subject covers, especially short stories and novels. I have taken several workshops to help improve my ablility to teach writing and to help students prepare for the FCAT Writing Exam. However, my l

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream. I worked full-time for Okeechobee Eckerds Juvenile home for boys and the Polk County School District. In these positions, I was a reading teacher. I did work many years as a teacher, aide, and assistant that taught special needs learners to strengthen writing, math, and reading difficulties.

I love to teach and help all children. I believe that each child has a different learning style, and I know that not every child should have to learn in just one way. I believe in hands-on activities to teach children. I believe that all children can learn as long as they are having a positive learning experience. As an elementary education major I have been given the experience in working with different grades in my internships. I have also learned and applied elementary school material. I was given the chance to observe the different ways of teaching and was given a chance to help students in small and large groups.
