A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching in the elementary and middle school classrooms for 13 years. I have worked as an after school tutor during many school years with 5-12 graders. In addition to the tutoring, I also directed an after school gifted and talented program where students engineered, designed, and created new inventions. I was a counselor at Camp Invention during the year 2011 which was another opportunity to engage students in learning outside of the classroom. I have been the director of Spring Break school in urban Kansas City which was an intensive tutoring program for students.

"Every child can learn."

My passion is education and I have more than thirty successful years of teaching students with diverse learning abilities and learning styles. As an educator, I am most rewarded when I can witness with the student that "Ah,ha" moment when they understand a concept or have mastered a problem solving activity.
Individual and focus of student's specific learning modalities.

Through my English and Creative Writing degree at the University of Missouri, I have earned a lot of experience in the field of English. My reading comprehension, writing and speaking abilities, as well as my critical thinking skills have all been tested and refined throughout those years. I have also spent four years working with junior high and high school students through an organization called Young Life.
I have always enjoyed working with children. I believe that having as many positive role-models as possible can really help to shape a student's outlook on not only their education, but how they will tackle problems and opportunities in their lives for a long time. If a student learns that it takes hard work and discipline to achieve good grades and a great education from the beginning, it can help him or her to really do great things later on in life. With that being sai ... read more

Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I strive to help each student grasp concepts rather than merely memorizing facts. I also encourage learning through discovery and hands-on experience as much as possible. I think learning is fun, and I try to communicate that enthusiasm to my students.
Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it ... read more

I came to teaching as a second career when I realized I was not happy in local politics. I earned a degree in Secondary Education with English certification grades 5-12. I have taught in rural as well as urban schools and schools in between. I have a strong command of grammar and reading comprehension skills. I have lead students in debate teams as well.
I am very straightforward in my style. I really enjoy doing things my way and seeing how the student responds. If the response is not positive then I modify and try again until we get it right. I am very much an auditory person myself so I am very verbal and love to talk things through.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always enjoyed interacting with children of all ages. I currently serve as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at an inner - city elementary school. During my three years in this position, it has become extremely apparent that all children....no matter their abilities....are capable of reaching their full potential. It is simply a matter of adapting my teaching style to their learning strengths. I am a patient, easy going individual who tries to improve upon the struggles that I encountered on my own academic journey so the students that I am working with walk away with confidence in school and really, all facets of life.
I graduated from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas with a degree in Communications (emphasis in Journalism) along with minors in Religion and Youth Ministry. While in college, I was a member of the yearbook staff as well as serving as an editor ... read more
