I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves. I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations.

Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals. My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader.

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007.

I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. It amazes me every year to see students who don't believe in themselves grow into kids who see their full potential. The light in their eyes is priceless. My approach to teaching is along the lines of the "Love and Logic" program. I believe that when children are offered choices, they feel more empowered to make decisions that are best for their futures and who they want to become. I also believe that modeling what I expect is the best way to achieve positive results in student behavior and work ethic. Students will always see me working hard! I am a current high school teacher who loves her job! I earned my Bachelor's Degree at Iowa State University in Secondary English Education, and then a School Counseling Master's Degree at UNLV. I have a strong passion for learning and love to share that passion with kids. My strengths in e

Over the years I have been able to work with all ages ranging from preschoolers to adult students. What has struck me most is the vast array of learning styles. I take pride in my ability to successfully and effectively adapt to each and every student I mentor. My strong belief in all students to do well has been the greatest influence in my overall teaching style. I do not give the answer to a problem or show the student how to do it. In order to truly attain and retain the information the material must be presented in a way that enables the learner to arrive at the answer him or herself. From this, there is no doubt in my mind that an impact will be made. As a graduate from the University of the Pacific, I was able to attain the honor of Magnum Cum Laude while pursuing my BA in Psychology. The extensive research required in my field has allowed me to achieve a high level of writing ski
