I worked as a teacher's assistant for several years in public schools in Illinois, assisting in K-5 classrooms. I worked at Sylvan Learning Center for 2 years, teaching beginning reading and elementary reading. As I gained experience, I began tutoring students in the school district where I worked. After several years, I became a fifth grade teacher in a private school where I taught for 5 years. In this position, I worked with students on writing skills, and prepared students for our annual math olympics, science fair, and spelling competitions. I tutored individual 4th and 5th graders after school. I generally give an assessment to find out about individual student needs. When working with younger students, I usually plan a series of activities, and learning games to help reinforce learning.

As a private school teacher for over twenty years, I have taught students from preschool to college, including teaching ESL to Chinese immigrants, from intermediate to advanced. While living in California, I took seminars on how to work with students who have learning difficulites in the areas of reading, spelling, writing or language arts. I especially love working with elementary students in the areas of reading, spelling or language arts. I usually can help a student improve their reading grades, and help them to decode new words. I also like teaching ESL because it gives me a broader concept of the world outside the U.S. I really enjoy learning about new cultures.

Teachers can be a catalyst for change and participate in the transformative learning process for both the student and the teacher. Learning is a collaborative experience and I am dedicated to a student-centered practice. My responsibility as an educator will be to act as a facilitator in the learning process and encourage students to self-reflect, critically think, and embrace the many different aspects of our community. Every child should have an equal opportunity to formal education. For me, teaching represents a tool for social change that can equip students with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to prevail over societal discrimination. Furthermore, I strive to enhance a student’s self efficacy. It is paramount for students to receive encouragement and positive appraisal so that their level of self-efficacy can increase. The educator should create a positive environment that pr

Although I am not the typical teacher, as in I do not have my own classroom, I believe that every child needs to be considered on an individual basis. While there are many teaching philosophies, it is difficult to hold every child to the same standard and expect the same results. In addition, as a teacher, I hope to be flexible enough in my teaching style that I can help a child learn through several modalities. If they are having difficulty learning information through one technique, I have to be prepared as to an alternative way to present the information so that they can better understand the concept I am presenting. I began my exploration of teaching at a young age when I set up a "school" in my basement, and taught to a classroom of pretend students. Since then, I have been an aide to several students with special needs including two children on the autism spectrum. In addition

Because I have such a strong passion for teaching and children, I love to help others succeed and would do whatever it takes to do so. My teaching involves incorporating many games into lesson plans to grasp my students attention, thus making the lesson fun also. Because students learn differently it is our job to teach based on their learning style, which is what I am best at doing. I love to break down information in ways that relate to my students. As a Golden Apple Scholar of Illinois, my passion for teaching is constantly growing and requires much experience. I have taught summer school classes and taught many lessons at the schools I've observed for my clinical practice. Overall, I have completed 120 hours of clinical experience while teaching part-time at a Learning Center, where I've tutored students in Beginning Reading, Reading, Study Skills, and Mathematics.

I have earned a BA in Communications Sciences and Disorders and I have tutored children in the Chicago Public School district for several years. I will be attending graduate school to receive a Master's degree in communication disorders. As an undergrad I have worked with children with learning disabilies, languge impairments, and neurological disorders. I am patient and dedicated to working with children in all capacities. Teaching is a very rewarding occupation. I believe that in order to learn one must be stimulated in many different ways. We all learn through visual, tactile, and auditory methods and many require combination strategies. My experience with working with all kinds of exceptional children has allowed me to see the potential in every child. I am dedicated to helping children and contributing to their greatness.
