A Little Bit About Me...

With my years of experience I have an ability to help students, meet their needs, and connect with them. I promote positive learning experiences and help build self-esteem in my students so they can take risks to rise to their potential. I set the expecatations high and students do rise to meet those expectations feeling successful and confident in themselves. I have teaching strategies that lead to success. I am confident I can help students knowing that what many of them need is someone to believe they can do the task and with that, believe in themselves.
I have 20 years of successful teaching and tutoring experience. My experience is primarily with 2nd through 5th grade over the years. I have a background in Special Education and English as a Second Language as well at Gifted and Talented. My range of expereience is valuable for reaching all levels and needs of students. I have ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended college later in life. Recently, the opportunity arose to better myself. I chose Early Childhood Education and then continued on to obtain my Bachelor's Degree. Following this, I returned to school for Nursing. Eventually, we moved to Texas where I applied,tested and obtained my LCCA License.
While in New York State, I was employed through the Alternative Suspension Program as an LVN. While there,I assisted with the teaching of students. This in turn gave me the opportunity to obtain my certification in Teaching. I remained in this position for two years. During this time, I had my own case load of 5-8 students grade 7-12. Following this position, I was employed at a tutor for those youth who were home bound.

A Little Bit About Me...

Explaining, showing, teaching, have always been something that I enjoyed doing. If I can pass on my knowledge to someone new then, my college hardships and achievements, were all worth it. It is up to educators to teach younger generations; without us they will not know anything. After all they, the younger generations, are our future. I believe that hands on, coupled with visual learning makes for the best recipe. This allows for students to engage physically, while connecting mentally. This is something I learned through my experiences. I would want our future to enjoy the same.
Achieving a BA in history from TAMUCC has taught me to peer further into investigations of any sort. It has provided me with the tools that allow me to critically analyze situations and arguments. Being able to critically analyze different perspectives gives me the ability to discover different conclusion ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Upon graduting from college, I became an after-school tutor, grades 4-6, focusing on all levels of homework and emphasis on students who had particular needs. I entered the teaching field in 2005 as a high school English teacher in grades 9 and 12. I learned extensive outlets and skills in regards to test preparation, research, grammar, and real-world applications. My second and third year teaching was in an academy setting focusing on law. I taught grades 9, 10 and 12. There I was able to learn legal gargin, community involvement with our students and their education, and law papers. Over the last few years I have tutored in research writing, TAKS preparation, math of all levels, writing and other subjects.
Having been a teacher, I understand all teachers teach differently, much like a student learns in a variety of ways. My approach is to bridge the gap that lies between t ... read more
