Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Whether in the eyes of children or adults, the light of new knowledge enkindles success. I prefer an interactive style of teaching which engages as many senses as possible. Every person deserves success, especially in their search for knowledge. I perceive it is my responsibility to create an environment and the opportunity to foster success in that search. I am gregarious and enthusiastic. I exhibit a contagiously high level of energy in the classroom. Whether working one or one or in a group, I demonstrate a high level of competence when addressing the needs of the student(s) and the means to enable them to achieve success. I began teaching as an emergency substitute 3rd grade teacher. After 2 years, my husband's career took us to NY, OK, and PA where I continued to teach Religious Ed and substitute in parish schools.

My passion for education blossomed while volunteering as a tutor with Somali refugee children in Pittsburgh, PA during college. I worked with families in their homes to develop English reading, writing, and speaking skills. After graduating with a B.A. in History and Political Science I joined Teach For America, where I taught first grade for two years and substitute taught pre-kindergarten through fifth grade for one year. A major focus while teaching first grade was developing literacy skills and instilling a love and enthusiasm for reading and writing in my students. The most important thing about my teaching style is that I believe every child can achieve academic excellence and can be interested in learning. I believe that it is up to me, as a teacher or a tutor, to engage the student(s). A huge part of this is being very transparent about where the student starts, what our goals ar

Creative, innovative, and interesting lessons are my forte. I am experienced in providing a constructivist-based approach to knowledge acquisition. Hands-on lesson promote student involvement and increase the development of student responsibility towards their education. I have found that a cross-curriculum approach to the material being presented fosters true understanding and relevance. I am a student of history and believe that knowledge acquisition comes from interest and enthusiasm on the part of the learner. This interest comes from having an instructor who them selves is a learner. A partnership in the tasks being presented usually results in the student wanting to understand the information and making connections. To promote critical thinking I present the material in a global manner, allowing the learner to relate the information/skill to the real-world.

I got a Bachelors in Early Childhooh education and had the priviledge of ebing in the classroom the last three years of college. I feel the experienced gained as a student in the field, gave me the security to succees when I graduated. I taught kindergarten and first grade and I am currently working at an administrative position at an Educational NGO. I feel I have gained important skills and I would like to go back with working directly with kids. It is truly a vocation. I am an advocate of positive reinforcement. I believe all children can achieve their potential in different ways. Every student has a unique personality and strengths that can be used to develop their understanding and knowledge. The teacher has the power to set the environment and guide the student but it is in the opportunities and experiences that the teacher allows the student to explore, that each student strats t

I was a History, Chemistry and Literature tutor while attending Austin Community College. My experience as a tutor for the last five years had allowed me to help perfect my teaching style. My college education lasted ten years and during that time I studied a wide variety of subjects, such as Chemistry, Biology, Literature, Writing, Government, Anthropology and History. I will also be receiving my teaching certificate in the next 2 years. I strive to make learning fun in any way that I can. I always include facts that keep a student interested in the subject I am teaching. I want to make an impression on my students and make them realize that every subject is important and interesting in its own way. My goal is to leave each student with the same passion for learning that I have.

I have coursework in special education and human development and family studies that has prepared me to work with children and families. My volunteer and paid experience as a substitute and child care teacher has allowed me to apply this knowledge directly to working with this group. In addition, I have mentored high school youth in the areas of scholarship and community service. As a freelance grant writer and nonprofit management professional, my reading and writing skills would be invaluable to young children. I like working with children hands on and gaining a better understanding of what works best for them. Whether it be with visuals, paper, using words; I am up to meet the needs of the child to fulfill their highest potential. Also, I like learning from the child's response to see what works best and what doesn't as a best practices.

As a student at the University of Houston I earned a scholarship each semester through the Scholar Enrichment Program. It was based off of a students academic performance each semester and it would require me to tutor other students in classes I performed well in. I tutored students in General Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. I also have a minor in history and health so I can help students with those courses as well. I also have two publications with my name on them from research I have conducted at Baylor College of Medicine and MD Anderson Cancer Center. My teaching style is to engage the student in learning. I begin by a review of the material to see how much the student knows. Then I get the student involved in learning by practicing. From my experience, repitition will not only help the student to remember the information but help them to become a more ded
