During my senior year at Kalamazoo College I tutored in the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), as well as designing the curriculum for and delivering a free class in the same topic. I graduated as the top Philosophy student in my class after serving as an Honors Teaching Assistant in Philosophy of Law, and then continued on to undergo summer training with Teach For America. I currently teach algebra, study skills, and civics in a cross-categorical special education setting in an urban school district. I am also tutoring for the LSAT in my spare time. I believe that the most important element determining the degree to which a student will achieve is the level of expectations that are set for them. High, clear expectations with consistent feedback on progress is absolutely critical to making the most significant academic gains possible. Students should know exactly what they are expec

Learning is the first step to success, and I am a big advocate on academics. I take pride in teaching and making sure that the student is learning properly. I believe that children learn differently and what makes a good teacher/tutor you have to be able to teach children in the way that they can learn. My teaching strategy is getting to know the student as a person first and a student second. Knowing them helps me to understand their struggles in school and also with the class work. I will design a curriculum that will fit each student and their needs. As a tutor my overall goal is for the student to overcome their struggles in academics, as well as gain the confidence to succeed. My current occupation is working as a paralegal. However, I am looking for opportunities to transition into the field of education. My passion and natural abilities are best suited for nurturing and teaching c

I have worked with students of varied ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. I lean more towards the Progressive style of teaching in that I teach my students the skills and strategies that will help them become successful in society. I am also aware that my students learn differently, so I differentiate my instructions towards their individual needs. I have teaching experience on all grade levels in urban school districts. I am currently a special education teacher in the Saint Louis Public School District, and I have enjoyed the challenge of working with educationally handicapped students and seeing many of them being mainstreamed into the general education population. I have had the opportunity to incorporate a learning center environment based on student needs, and utilized activity centers for individualized and small group instruction.

I have taught Accounting courses at a JC and Business College in the St. louis area. I also taught Accounting and Finance courses at a Business College in Raleigh, NC. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing. Learning should be fun. I strive to make a point of this when ever I teach. I do this in both lectures and tests. I find a little humor takes the edge off test taking and allows the student to concentrate on the subject matter without being nervous.

I believe in motivation and positive reinforcement to help students reach their full potential. I want each student to know that his/her opinion is valued and important. I strive to teach students to think critically and to learn how to learn, rather than how to memorize. I want to instill self-esteem in the learning process and make it a part of the student's daily life. I am patient and driven.

There are many arrays of learning styles. I personally use visually, writing, and seeing the bigger picture. First, the mind can develop a concept or help map out the ideas by seeing the picture to the learning task. Second writing helps to reinforce the concept or idea. Lastly seeing the bigger picture helps to encompass their own ideas as well as the originator ideas.
