I have been an elementary school teacher for the past four years. I teach at a private school in Columbia, SC. I currently teach fourth grade, and pride myself at being a phenomenal math teacher. Teaching academics is extremely important, but also teaching character education is important also. When a student is proud of themselves, they can become self motivated and willing to improve themselves.

Learning about the students I teach and listening to their experiences helps me to consider ways of making course material relevant and fostering critical thinking skills. I am passionate about finding the most effective ways of stimulating and sustaining growth among those who enter my classroom. As a teacher, I am attentive to the fact that learning is a complex process and work to be flexible, adapting my approaches according to the needs of my students. I believe it is crucial for teachers to cultivate learning partnerships with students. Teaching is empowering students to take responsibility for their learning, inspiring courage to grow intellectually, cultivating curiosity, providing opportunities to develop relationships, clarifying values, uplifting the spirit, and influencing action.

I love tutoring and mentoring kids, period. It's spiriturally rewarding to me as an adult to have a part in a child's development. I believe every child is special. There's is no doubt in my mind that if a tutor approach is based on patience, quality time and empathy, he or she will be successful and effective. The latter mentioned characteristics has always been viewed by me as the hallmarks of tutoring. I have worked for years with the brightest and those who just need the right approach to learning to become the brightest. Tutoring children is a job you have to love doing because it requires passion and understanding. I understand the amazing change that can immediately take place in a child's life when their instructor (tutor) expresses passion and concern in their development and future.

My passion for education drives me to a place, where I desire to teach children the joy in reading. In the past I developed a program to teach reading and mathe through culinary arts. Through research I have been able to develop extensive grammatical skills. I believe that in order to bring about change, you have to become the change. Children are like a garden of flowers who need only to be natured and love. In that type of enviroment any child can learn.
Education is my passion an on this road of life I am always striving to learn new things. Working with children gives me an opportunity to impart knowledge through their surroundings. My style of teaching is both hands on and hands off, I like to give the child an opportunity to try it on their own and make suggestions. I believe that their voice is also important.

A description of my teaching style would be: building relationships. As a teacher I feel I am patient and caring. I feel that in order for children to learn they must feel valued. This is true with all humans. Studies show that students learn best when they feel safe and valued, and this is the type of environment that I like to set in my classroom. I also feel that in order for children to understand and connect to new knowledge, they must first connect to prior knowledge. This type of approach I feel is essential in teaching children new concepts. I allow my students to be the leader, and play a role as an expert while making connections between new and prior knowledge. I feel that this builds a child’s confidence and gives them the support they need to take risks. I do understand that they are different types of learners and as a teacher I differentiate my instruction based o ... read more

As a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Towson University with a degree in elementary and special education, I have always pushed myself to achieve excellence. I have a collaborative personality and strong interpersonal and communication skills. As a graduate with a dual major, I am able to bring background knowledge and experience from both the general education and special education perspective. In addition to the collaborative training I received, Towson has adequately prepared me to be a facilitator of active learning in other ways.

I love to help others to get ahead in life. I am a recent college graduate, so I can communicate effectively with younger students. While in school I worked full time and went to school full time, this has taught me how to use time management skills effectively. I have eight years of military leadership experience and I am currently employed by Wells Fargo.
Every student is different. It is up the instructor to identify these differences then tailor their teaching styles to what best helps the student. I believe that patience is the key and using positive reinforcement to create a positive learning atmosphere is the key to success.

I fully believe that given the appropriate instruction, all students can learn and succeed. Not only do I think it is important for students to gain a full understanding of concepts, but also confidence in themselves as they apply what they learn. I believe that hands-on learning is what is best for most children, however, each child is different and a teacher must accommodate for each student's individual needs. I am very patient while teaching, as students learn at different rates. My passion is working with and teaching children, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure students reach their full potential.

Directly after graduating, I began a career as an Academic Advisor in the Moore School of Business Undergraduate Division at the University of South Carolina. I currently still hold this job. I also taught a University 101 course to 25 incoming freshmen in the Fall of 2010. This course included helping the students get acquainted with resources on campus, learn study/time management strategies, and much more. Also, while in graduate school, I worked about 5-10 hours per week as an Academic Success Coach in the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) at the University of South Carolina.

A Little Bit About Me...

My main goal is not to tell a student they are wrong, but to tell them how they can make the answer correct. Being that my mother is a teacher, I have picked up many of her techniques while tutoring in the peer tutoring program at my college. I believe that it helps a student more if they can be taught by someone who has a similar background to them and are similar in age. I can provide them with an easy way to learn biological concepts just as I've learned while I am in college.
As a senior at Benedict College obtaining my B.S. in Biology, I have gained a better understanding of the study of biology as well as other science-related subjects and math. I have been a part of the Peer-Tutoring program at Benedict since I was a freshman and have tutored in the subject of Biology.

Having obtained a Masters Degree in Comparative Literature I have learned to best mold my teaching methodologies into the educational needs of my students. I have taught freshman German at the college level as well as have extensive experience tutoring while I worked at the University of South Carolina. Finally do to my various educational background (I have studied everything from literature to biochemistry) I am qualified to tutor in a wide variety of subjects having attended a math and science magnet school in south carolina for high school. At this school I was required to take upper level math each semester and college level physics, biology and chemistry.
I believe in teaching through doing. When I taught German I conducted my class almost completely in German (the beginner level), and while this would seem difficult for the students to learn my students scored excellentl ... read more

I feel as though I am highly qualified and competitive for a teaching position because of my abilities to relate to children of all ages. As a volunteer basketball referee at Northside Baptist Church, Upward basketball program since 1998, I work with children between the ages of 7 and 13. I teach them about basketball and sportsmanship. As a parent of a 17 year old son, I constantly mentor him and his friends on life, school and everything in between. I really enjoy talking to these young men and giving them information about the importance of education. This seems to have a positive impact on the decisions they are starting to make. I am very eager to get into the school system as a full time teacher. I enjoy working with children and desire to be a role model for the youth of today. I look forward to asset the school district and impacting my community through leadership ... read more
