As children learn in different ways and at different paces, many have difficulty adapting to the standardized teaching of institutional education. I believe that children learn best from a personal approach that meets their needs and draws on their strengths. I begin the teaching process by building rapport, encouraging ideas, and instilling confidence. I then determine a starting point by measuring the child’s aptitude. Following initial sessions, I develop an individualized plan that ensures appropriate and effective teaching methods. My style is flexible, patient, and engaging. The child is not a passive listener but an active part of the process, and he or she will feel more confident and independent with each session.
As a counselor, mentor, and student, I have gained valuable insights into teaching and motivating others. I have earned a BA in Human Development, and I am curre ... read more

I have worked for one school year as a substitute for both Hanover County and Louisa County, I am Currently employed by Hanover County Public Schools as a teaching assistant while continuing my work on my graduate work. I will still be employed by hanover County Schools for the 2009-2010 School year.
I work well as a one on one special education aide because my attention is soley on the activities and education of my students. I am a laid back worker, and extremely patient because I find that if I allow myself to get out of shape, then I am not an effective teacher and aide, and my students will see this. I strive to be a good role model to them all, even when I may be frustrated but I find constructive ways of venting such as listening to music during class quiet times and taking walks with my students during activity breaks and while they are in PE.

More About This Tutor...

My experiences have spanned all ages and types of children's learning abilities. From a church setting, to a public school to a driver training car. As a substitute teacher, I worked on developing a good rapport with the students. And was always willing to assist them in working towards understanding the concepts before them. I am very patient and understanding with the children, because a stressful environment is not conducive to learning. I believe that a child should be able to learn while they are having fun and that positive reinforcement can go a long way towards helping develop good study skills.
I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and was a software engineer for over 25 years. In 2003, I was certified for Middle School Mathematics in Massachusetts. I have enjoyed being a substitute teacher over 200 days in various Middle and High Schools. I have worked f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a financial services professional for over 10 years, I really enjoyed working one-on-one with my clients to help them meet their financial objectives. It is such a rewarding experience to see a client be able to save and eventually retire in part because of my help and their desire. During the last 6 months I have worked consistently at one school upon their request. I teach reading and writing from grade levels K-5. I work extensively with learning disabled students. The feeling of excitement I get when I see these children progress far surpasses that which I felt as a financial advisor. It truly is euphoria!
I love working with elementary children. They are so refreshing. Children really bring out the best in me-patience and passion. My style is easy going yet direct. As every child is different, I always try to adapt to individual learning styles. My role as an educat ... read more

After watching a documentary on teachers teaching in the inner city, I decided to switch my major from Pre-Law to Elementary Education. I've always loved learning and I wanted to be able to convey that same message to my students. In college, I majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Psy. of the Exceptional Child. This minor allowed me to study children who are gifted and children with special needs. I am currently working on a Masters in Special Education because I've learned an extensive amount of knowledge on this subject working for the Early Intervention program in my area.
I've always believed that children learn by doing. I would rather have my students get real hands-on experience because concepts can be better attained and understood if children get real experience with it. I also believe that children learn differently from one another and a teacher should be able ... read more
