I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

Teaching has always been a part of my life. My mother was constantly teaching me, along with my siblings and the twenty other children that ran in and out of our home. I believe strongly in a teaching method that provides encouragement and positivism; one that highlights the good before pointing out the mistakes. My goal is to listen to the child and hear what his or her needs are and where he or she is struggling, and then to actively tackle one issue at a time through creative and interactive activities, problem-solving, and constructive criticism. I believe in children, their innocence, their carefree energy and endless intelligent ideas and innovations. My ultimate goal in life is to make a difference, and children are a great place to start! Growing up my mother ran a tutoring program out of our home. This is where I initially learned the skills involved in tutoring. Ever since I wa

I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar skills to align with the the needs of my students. There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study. I am bottom-line oriented. The only

I employ a number of different tactics while teaching. My main focus is using open-ended questions which help students understand not only what the correct answer is, but also why the answer is correct. I am focus-driven and work to set objectives. I will focus on an objective until it is understood completely. I have a strong ability to relate concepts into real-life situations which helps students to retain the information they gain. As the 7th Grade English and reading teacher at Robison Middle School, test scores on the state-mandated proficiency exam improved by 24%. After one year of service, I was asked to be the Chair of the Reading department.

There are many teaching methods that stand behind my philosophy. I believe that remaining aware of the different ways in which children learn, and taking those learning styles into consideration throughout my lesson planning and delivery, is of great importance. The classroom environment is also very important. A healthy learning environment, where both my students and I can take risks, make mistakes and learn from one another, is key. My philosophy of education will keep on evolving as I gain teaching experience. I will add some new goals and revise others. Even as my philosophy undergoes change, I believe that my main goal will remain the same. My mission is to motivate students to become life-long learners, and help them acquire skills that will enable them to pursue independent learning. Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experien

I have always enjoyed teaching and helping people learn. I discovered that I had a knack for it when I participated in a program tutoring fellow students while I was in high school. I have found that the most effective way to tutor children is to get them excited about learning as well as to make sure that they believe in themselves. I have seen that all children can learn if they have the desire, the motivation, and the proper guidance. I attended very rigorous academic institutions for both high school and college that demanded that their students achieve a well rounded education. As a result, I possess a vast amount of knowledge in a wide array of subjects. I am a very proficient writer and have also passed college level calculus and statistics. I have tutored students in all 5 basic subjects as well as Spanish, which I can speak, read, and write.
