I have two years of experaince teaching in public schools and four years of experaince teaching in Christian schools. I have an advanced degree in information technology and a background in English education. I have learned something from each of my students in my yeears of teaching but I think that my first year taught me the most. I think of the famous quote by Nikos Kazantzakis, “The ideal educator turns into a bridge which they then invite students to cross… after the bridge is crossed students must make bridges of their own.” I earned a Master’s of Science degree earlier this year by studying a variety of subjects. I began my college journey in 2006 with the goal of spreading and teaching a love of books, reading and learning. The goal began to be met at Southeastern Missouri State University. I studied English Education there. The school has a great teaching program that not only ... read more

Most of my teaching experience has come through the various assistantships I had at Wheaton College. These involved a wide range of tasks, from tutoring to leading discussions to conducting extensive research. I have been able to sharpen the skills I developed as an undergraduate through my studies and teaching opportunities at Notre Dame. Not only that, I have witnessed the art of pedagogy reach a level of excellence I had never thought possible. These first-rate professors combine raw intellectual power with gentleness, jocularity and humility, and while I am on leave this year from the program, I would be proud to help students in even a fraction of the way these individuals have helped me.
Excellence in teaching, I believe, depends less on method and more on the character of the teacher. Since a student is a human being before he or she assumes the role of the learner, it is in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My own style I show a sincere interest in each student, I listen to their needs, aspirations, I tell them what I can do to assist them and I motivate the student to succeed at their own level of competency. My degree in psychology and sociology has been quite helpful through the years.
I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study. Although students don't typically like math and accounting I tell them this is a means to an end. So to the parents, I choose to teach and tutor, this means I love motivating the student at all ages. I have taught math, economics, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, social studies, geography, english, literature, music appreciation and eng ... read more

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. These efforts helped to improve student achievement and stimulated interest in learning.
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 diffe ... read more

Mentors and educators played significant roles in my development. I want to be that person for my students and help them discover and actualize their full potential. I believe in focusing on students' strengths and energizing their confidence. Using prior knowledge as a foundation, I will help students apply what they do know to what they need to learn. I also will develop learning strategies effectively geared to how the individual student learns.
I obtained teaching certification for 9-12 English in 2010 and completed my student teaching at ACE Learning Center, an alternative school within St. Louis Public Schools; I also taught at this center during the summer.

I have wanted to teach students my entire life. I began tutoring when I went to college. There I tutored my peers in composition and literature. As I continued my college career, I had three semesters where I taught grades 7-12. I received my BS in Education in December of 2007 and began teaching high school English at the sophomore level at a local high school. While working there, I got a job offer closer to home and began that in July of 2008. There I taught 9-12 British Literature, College Composition, Creative Writing, American Literature, and Drama. I currently have my teaching certificate which certifies me to teach 9-12 English (Language Arts) in the state of Missouri.
I am a very fun and energetic person, therefore, my teaching style reflects my personality. I usually use hands on activities to keep the students engaged and allow them to be responsible for their own ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I know exactly what teachers and administrators are looking for in “good writing,” but this isn’t something that I was born with or that came naturally—it is a learned skill that my own teachers have cultivated by building upon the skills I brought to the classroom. As such, the most influential facet of my own teaching philosophy is my commitment to respecting student intelligences. If my students are not confident in the abilities they bring with them to the tutoring session, then the likelihood of facilitating sustainable improvement in the student drops dramatically. In light of this, my tutoring style foregrounds the importance of first reinforcing the knowledge my students already have and then building off of this knowledge.
After having earned both my bachelor’s and my master’s in the St. Louis area, I decided to commit myself to bettering students through education in this ... read more
