A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience teaching in a classroom (kindergarten through 8th grade), tutoring, one-on-one individualized teaching (in an applied behavior analysis clinic, working with individuals diagnosed under the autism spectrum), long-term subbing in an intense intervention special education classroom, etc. I have experience creating curriculum, as well as closely following a pre-written curriculum/lesson plan.

A Little Bit About Me...

With a degree from Purdue University and continuing on to get a degree in engineering, I am engaged in many areas of science and math. Even at a young age I taught my younger sister basic mathematical and reading skills even before she entered kindergarten; we called it "school". The youngest, my brother, in which we are both diagnosed with ADHD, is amazing. I quickly learned to be patient with him when helping with his homework because I can see the same frustration on his face I had at his age when trying to concentrate on a difficult task.
Every child wants to learn, although a more creative design may be needed to find a child's greatest potential. Patience, consideration, and encouraging words are simple tasks to help the self esteem of children in a child's education.

My teaching style depends on the student. It takes some time to identify what methods work best on the individual. In most cases, the student just needs a clearer explanation than his/her book or instructor is providing. Also, I like to create visual examples that make an abstract concept into something more practical. A thorough explanation coupled with examples and practice, practice, practice usually prove to help tremendously. It's also important to listen to your student and to constantly test his/her knowledge of concepts as we progress. This helps to identify where the trouble areas are and to reassure that previous learning isn't lost, especially knowledge that is essential in building upon future concepts.
I've had a strong passion for everything related to Math since grade school. This continued into high school, where I was fortunate to have an extraordinary Math ... read more
