I am a very patient person and will review and reteach as many times as necessary so that you feel con

As a teaching major, I did my student teaching during my last semester of college (in kindergarten and third grade). This was in the spring of 2008. The next fall (2008), I was a substitute teacher for 4 months and then I was hired as a preschool teacher (in January of 2009). I taught as a preschool teacher for 10 months and then went back to substitute teaching (in October 2009) and have been substitute teaching since then. These experiences have taught me how to teach a variety of grade levels (from preschool to 5th grade). My goal is to obtain a full time teaching job and want to do whatever I can until I get one. I believe that all children learn differently. Some children need more of a hands on approach while others are more visual and still others learn just by memorizing facts. I believe in finding that way that each child learns best and helping them reach their potential. I enj

My method of educating and teaching style derives from a simple philosophy that experience has the most profound effect on learning. Therefore I always begin my approach by identifying ways in with I can match demonstration to the particular personality of the individual I am teaching. I infuse experiential examples into the textbook explanations to create a more tangible presentation of the information. My objective is to get the student to connect with familiar ideas, emotions, and experiences. I have the ability to simplify and customize the information compatible with the learning styles of the individual. I have devoted much of my time focusing on work with the youth to assist themselves for there own future success. To this extent I have been working in the field of human services in order to profoundly impact the lives of youths through mentoring, tutoring and community superv

I believe children learn best when they can form a connection to their school work. Writing skills can be improved by using topics that are relevant to the student's life. When working on Reading skills I often use high interest topics such as the arts, sports, computers and science to encourage students to excel. Math can also become more meaningful by using real life situations and manipulatives. It is my goal to increase students' self esteem by providing situations in which they can succeed. During my 23 years of teaching I implemented Kindergarten through 6th grade New York State curriculum in a classroom setting. I attended workshops that focused on computer education, Multiage classroom and positive discipline.

I am a firm believer that every person, child or adult, learns differently. I am very devoted to finding out how that person learns the best and then teaching in a manner that allows for the individual to learn. I graduated from college in 2008 to pursue my career as an accountant. I got a great job that provided me with great experience. After working there for some time I decided to opoen my own accounting firm which I can say is going great. I would love to help others understand the great benefits one can gain from having some accounting knowledge. Math is also a great passion of mine.

Once I am assigned a child I initally spend time going over a typical homework assignment to see where they are having some trouble. I get them to read out loud to me to see what their level of reading is. Some kids have problems sounding out the words or with simple rules of grammar. Once I see where they are at then I start bringing in some workbooks to help them in that particular area and apply that to their homework. Along with my educational background I was a Girl Scout Troup leader for three years and a volunteer for the American Lung Association and American Heart Association. I enjoy working with kids and contacted Barbara Kline of the Utica School District and started working in the Tutoring program with her for four years. While in the tutoring program I assisted students from elementary school and highschool in reading and writing comprehension. I throughly enjoyed thi

In a world of specialization, I tend to break the mold by having rather wide academic interests. I earned a bachelors degree in Religion, then went on to earn an MA in Theology. In between this period I did a semester of Analytic Philosophy while attending Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada CA. The nature of my studies has forced me to focus on worldview. In doing so I acquired confidence in engaging the natural sciences, namely biology, world history, and philosophy. Along the way I have also become a skilled writer. During my time at Liberty I spent a semester as a teacher assistant, which included teaching class occasionally. I have also had tutored many people in understanding the Bible, both in college and church settings. I love teaching, period. I strive for clarity in my presentation.

I love teaching and working with all students. I believe all children can learn and it is about finding the child's learning style. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery. Sometimes I use manipulatives or games to help with instruction. Other times it is a mini lecture or work sheets. It all depends the child and the material that needs to be taught.
