I have been a substitute teacher and tutor for general education and special education students of the Williamson County School District. Before that, I was working with adults and students in a ministry environment back in Texas as a worship leader and music teacher. My education has centered around music, theology, and literature primarily (with a general exposure to various other sciences). I like to give students the tools and watch them practice using those tools for themselves. I encourage two-way communication.

I am focused on achieving student growth while helping students develop learning habits and a love for reading. I have five years of teaching experience, including teaching kindergarten students, students who were English language learners, and fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students. My focus has been in reading and language arts, and I have attended several Uncommon Schools trainings for close reading techniques and writing and vocabulary strategies. My previous background and work experience was in writing, and I enjoy teaching students about the different forms of writing, including creative writing, literary analysis, argumentative, and informative. Since I started my teaching career working with students in kindergarten, I deeply understand the foundations of literacy. My experiences with students in middle school has also helped me understand and realize the connection between a

I love working with students on their writing. My background in pastoral counseling means I am particularly trained to be an empathetic listener who can pretty quickly analyze fears and anxieties which may be affecting school work. I believe strongly in all students developing their writing skills as part of what it takes to suceed in school, work, and life. My students at Vanderbilt Divinity School where I am a Teaching Fellow and PhD student in Religion, Psychology, and Culture, write in evaluations that I give the most attention and valuable feedback on their writing in terms of composition, the technical aspects of writing, and organization that they have received at the school. I have been writing and editing professionally since I was in high school when I wrote for The Oregonian, Oregon's major newspaper, and was asked to review high school capstone projects at the school district

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I perfer to work with students one on one. I feel that reading or the lack of the ability to read effects every other subject. It is also important for the student to understand what they are reading (comprehension, rather thatn just calling words. I like to question students about wht subject matter. I also think Phonics have been placed on the back burner, I think phonics are extremely important. I have worked in Metro Nashville School system as a DIrector of Bordeaux Northwest Family Resource Center where my focus was "Children Will Succeed in School". My focus was securing tutors for students who were not reading on grade level. During this tenure I was successful in assisting more than 150 students successfully meet their goals.

After graduating in 1996, I opened my own tutoring service in Dickson, TN. I tutored individuals from public schools and home school in Math, Reading, and several other subjects needed until 2001. At this time I left Dickson and moved to Clarksville, TN and tutored with A+ Math tutoring intil 2006. Seeing the look and smile on the face of a student that finally grasps a concept, or realizes they have just read on their own for the first time, OH What a Feeling!!! I take each child as their own individual knowing they have their own needs in learning a subject. I teach in several different ways as to ensure the child grasps what they need. I see children today as my future for tomorrow, so helping them and making a difference in their lives will make a difference in mine. I have not forgotten any individual I have helped to this day.
