Elementary Social Studies Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mound, TX

I have a Texas Teaching Certificate for K-8, all subjects. In addition to teaching elementary school I taught courses at the University of Texas in Austin in the undergraduate teacher education program. I supervised dozens of student teachers at UT, and have spent the past 17 years conducting professional development for educators (teachers, curriculum directors, principals and superintendents) in the field. I encourage higher order thinking, and help students learn to become self-directed and independent. Not only will your child develop greater skills and knowledge in each discipline, he/she will develop many specific thinking strategies and skills which they will apply in the classroom and throughout life. My mottos is, "Learning is serious, but that doesn't mean it has to be grim." I believe in making learning exciting, and especially in helping children learn to believe in th

I have volunteered in a school district for just over 3 years and when I do volunteer I assist children in the classroom who have problems in their reading and math. By assisting these students they have improved on their tests as well as gaining confidence in their learning. I work really well one on one with the child who needs such assistance but also in small groups. If needed to assist a child online it can be done as long as there are materials available for the child that is provided by the school.

I taught Social studies in the public school system. Even though I consider this to be an exciting subject, students are often bored by the subject matter. Especially something like longitude and latitude lines. To increase their interest on a beautiful Spring day I took them, a basketball, a globe and a piece of chalk outside to the basketball court. I drew a few lines and numbers on the court while the watched and wondered what I was doing.Then I split them up into teams. We played "around the world" When a student made a shot from one of the numbered lines they had to find the corresponding longitude and latitude line on the globe to get the point for their team. Word got around the school fast. As each class rotated in they were excited to be there and by the end of that chapter, I'm very proud to say that is the very 1st year every single one of those students passed that chapter

I teach to the child and motivate them to do better through their natural desires to achieve and to seek approval. I believe in postive reinforcement that is linked to realistic and attainable goals. Building relationship with children and their families is the best tool I know for helping children learn. I see children as a part of the greater systems of family and community. I believe it truly takes a village to raise children and that cooperation among the adults that impact them the most- family, including all members of the extended family, teachers, friends, religious and other community leaders - ensures a child's success. It is my goal to make a positive difference in every child's life. With over 20 years experience as an educator I have taught, tutored, and trained students from pre-school to adults. I hold an MA in Education and Counseling, a BA in Socialpsychology and an AA i
