A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children are creative and eager to learn. I enjoy the challenge of unlocking the avenue to their learning style. All children can succeed if given the tools for their personal style. As an educator I consider this my primary task. All learning comes naturally from that point on with effort and guidance. My strong points are patience,understanding,creativity,and life long learning as an adult. I think the last point is extremely important as a tool for modeling the younger generations. This creates a relaxed instructor/student repoire while setting high unspoken expectations.

More About This Tutor...

In having a great passion for working with/teaching children, I think that it is immensely important to remember that everyone has a different way of learning. Some ways work better for some as opposed to others. My teaching style is always based around the children that I am teaching. Overall, I have found that there are a lot of students out there that are best able to learn by hands activities and visual cues. While I do find this to be the best method, I am not opposed to trying out new things to help the children learn to the best of their abilities, as I am a very patient and understanding teacher.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer that all children can learn if given every option to be successful. In order to achieve success, students should be surrounded with tools to help them learn and a positive learning environment is key. Teachers should not expect all children to learn at the same pace nor same learning style. I never give up on my students. Students need teachers who do not accept failure and teach perseverance.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all students can learn and that it is up to the educator to discover the students' learning styles and then meet their needs. Foremost learning should be fun and meaningful.I create a safe environment, where students are inviited to learn, and have experience with mixed ability levels. I teach to the top, and differentiate instruction with intervention strategies to accomplish these goals. Students in my classrooms are empowered to learn and set personal goals for achieving growth.I use a constructivist approach: reflection response journals, reciprocal teaching strategies, and varying assesments to measure growth.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to highlight a students strengths and build solid study habits and work patterns. For instance, if a student has trouble focusing on his/her work, I try to push them for short periods of intense study, and then reward them with a break. Since my first degree was completed through an integrated, online program, I stress organizational skills. If I feel that a student is having an issue with organization, I explain to them how much it helps me to organize and then we address the issues they might be having.
Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's degree, I have been exposed to a wide variety of curriculum.
