I graduated in 2006 summa cum-laude from Midwestern State University with a 4.0 grade average, majoring in Biology and minoring in English. I have a detailed academic understanding of both chemistry and biology on many levels. Additionally, writing dozens of papers for both scientific and humanities courses has given me essential grammatical skills necessary for writing higher level essays. Since I graduated I have tutored math, science, English, and writing in the Wichita Falls public school system and for a private tutoring company. I enjoy teaching and working with children. I understand that all children are different and learn in different ways. Because of this I try to tailor my teaching to the individual needs of the student. This, I have found through experience, allows the child to attain his or her maximum educational potential. I strive to offer a positive learning environment

I tutored elementary students while in high school. I am now an Education major at Midwestern State University and I will graduate in May of 2010. At my last job I helped tutor students and get them ready for test and quizzes etc. I enjoy working with kids I can't think of anything better to do with my time. My teaching style involves getting to know the student as a person first and going from there. Learning how he/she learns something new and what he/she knows and doesn't know quite yet. Every child is different in the way that he/she learns and a person how to figure that out first for a child to be successful.

My personal philosophy embraces ownership, one of the top ingredients for successful learning. Personal ownership creates a more perceptive learning process. Students will be more willing to maintain their learning as they proceed throughout the year. Another way ownership makes a big academic difference is through motivation. Ownership will also create self-confidence. A good teacher demonstrates faith in their ability to achieve simply by making them part of the process. When asking them ‘what do you think;’ their participation will increase and they will better remember the facts being taught. In conclusion, students with ownership have optimized their academics, productivity, and self-esteem. After obtaining a Masters of Science with a Minor in Education, teaching has become my life pursuit. Even when working for a large Biotech firm, I have tutored for one year in public sch

I find it most rewarding and helpful to get to know the student and parents. This provides the assistance needed to develop the proper rapport and educational needs of the student ensuring parents stay involved. Interaction is a required form of instruction for any student so to understand and establish the roles of teacher and student. I truly believe that the confidence displayed while teaching will evidently be welcomed with receiving minds. One act of assurance can open a wide door of possibilities and recognized achievements. Making a difference is accepting we are all alike in different ways and education is universal survival. I want to help and wanting better is the first step to better.
