Certified Teacher for Summer Tutoring

I am applying to be a tutor for your child because of my profession. As a teacher, I value the development of the whole student in order for them to excel academically as well as socially. My teaching style exemplifies this by reinforcing a constructivist teaching philosophy in the classroom. I believe that lessons should be designed to enhance students’ experiences so they are able to anchor their knowledge in experience. I may contribute to the school by having the experience of creating lessons where students learn through discovery. I have student taught in a special education classroom where I was asked to create and modify lessons using Common Core standards in order to fit the needs of all learners. My experience in being able to modify, adapt and differentiate lessons would make me an important part of the professional learning community. I have had many wonderful experien ... read more

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject.

I have always been a patient teacher and have learned that each child has there own learning style. To better tutor a child, they need to be able to learn in their own style. I understand this and will do my best to target their style to allow them to learn in a way that is easy and fun for them. I try to apply what is being learned into every day life to keep the interest in the subject, I feel that to learn the student needs to understand that the subject really is important in everyday life.
Throughout college, I was a substitute teacher at the local elementary and middle school where I worked with the children in the classroom environment. I also worked one on one with children that were having a difficult time in their classwork.

A Little Bit About Me...

If I am tutoring a young person I contact the teacher so that I can find out what areas the student needs review in. Many times the teacher will give me the resources and materials to use. Also, I like to use the guide books for each grade that are sold in stationary areas of most stores. For tutoring in reading I've found the Leapfrog Reading Program is very helpful. I like to meet my students at the library so that I can use the resources found in the library, including the computer. Many times I use educational games because are very useful tools in learning, and they are fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience in teaching six different courses has allowed me to teach all types of learners. I believe that through teaching Academic Intervention Services I improved my ability to help lower level students and be able to break difficult concepts down into smaller skills/steps that are more understandable. I am currently teaching trigonometry which is a higher level of math, and has allowed me to teach gifted students and therefore recognize when breaking skills down is not necessary.
I have dual certification in Childhood Education and Mathematics 7-12. I have been teaching high school mathemticas for five years including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The first four years of my teaching also included organizing and teaching Academic Intervention Services for students that required additional academic instruction in mathematics. In addition, I have been tutoring studen ... read more
