I have worked with children in a pre-school or subing element for years, as well as an office. I am 2 classes away from my Assoc of E.Edu at the University of Phoenix. I plan to continue with my B.S. Being envolved as a sub-teacher has allowed me to work with children of differnt ages to understand what they are learning,and the differnt styles that may help with that age group.
I like to listen to students and teaching style is by hands on experience for students. Showing and explaining how they can achieve the skill at hand is successful. Often by teaching computer skills or program to help with the subject at hand.

A Little Bit About Me...

Since I earned my K-6 teaching license, I have worked with children in several different instructional/mentor/tutoring positions. I worked as a teaching assistant in Fifth Grade and First Grade. At the same time, I was also the Education Director for the local Boys and Girls Club. I have also subbed and worked as a tutor since March of 2009.
I enjoy teaching and working with elementary aged children. I love those moments when, after much effort, the light of understanding dawns in a student's eyes. When it comes to how children acquire knowledge, I believe it is very important to help them build new knowledge based upon their prior knowledge and experiences. I am aware of the different ways that children learn and attempt to structure my approach in tutoring to match those learning style differences. Finally, I believe that building a positive relationship with both the pupil an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children how to learn and enjoy it. I believe all children can learn, but each in their own way. Learning styles vary and I believe it is important to use a student’s strengths to gain academic success. I am patient, easy going, and have a good sense of humor. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructive approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate learning experiences and opportunities. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education and their attitude towards school and learning. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
After graduating from the University of Miami, I taught Kindergarten, a 3rd/4th grade combination, 6th grade, and computers/technology. After having children, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is specific to the individual child and their needs. When I worked at the residential center, I had to teach alcohol and drug awareness classes. During that time is when I learned that encouragement, patience, and a variety of methods are essential to a child's academic success. A child looks to the teacher for the effective skills and tools to accomplish their dreams.
I have always felt compelled to help others achieve their dreams. I graduated with a bachelor's in psychology and began working at a residential alcohol and drug treatment facility for adolescents. There I assisted the education personnel in tutoring our clients. I helped our kids with math, science, and English, at all levels of education. My work experience in this position and in the positions that I was promoted to enhanced my writing skills, interpersonal relationships, and attention to ... read more
