Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning. The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow.

Since beginning college in 1994, I have been involved with teaching and/or tutoring students, hearing and deaf. My experience teaching ranges from preschool to high school, typically developing children to those with disabilities, from impoverished and affluent areas. My tutoring has been both with a nationwide tutoring chain, as well as with a privately owned company. I have tutored in every subject area, and feel comfortable with any subject area. My teaching style is highly influenced by the type of student that I teach. As a teacher of deaf students, my teaching must be very visual and hands-on. I find this lends itself well to teaching students who might be struggling in a regular classroom environment as well. I always begin by activating any prior knowledge a student might have in a given area, then establishing the goals that need to be met, engaging the child with relevant

I have taught many different students, with emotional as well as learning difficulties. I have good classroom management skills, a lot of patience and compassion with my students. I am comfortable and confident when dealing with a student's family, in communicating the need's of their child, and helping them with additional forms of instruction to use when they are not in a classroom setting.

I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study. My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge.
