I strongly support the belief that all children are capable of learning if given sufficient opportunity. As a classroom teacher often facing as many as 37 students at one time, it was difficult to provide the appropriate learning environment for many of these children's needs. Through small group tutoring, however, the right learning environment can be created if the tutor fosters a positive relationship with the student. Developing such a relationship requires considerable patience and consistency on the part of the tutor. Creating such an atmosphere allows the struggling student to expect a reliable mentor to assist her with her studies, while best permitting me to work with the student according to his or her needs. I began tutoring as a volunteer with the America Reads program in high school. I continued volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club during college. After an opportunity t

I prefer to use a hands on approach to education. I like to have the kids get engrossed in the subject matter by reading aloud and taking part in discussion sessions. It is my belief that all children have the capacity to succeed in school with the proper tools. The tools that I provide are first and foremost, respecting the students without any bias. Secondly, I have worked with and have the capability of working with children of all ages. This allows me to relate to and effectively educate all students. A competent teacher makes a lasting impact in a child’s life which is why my favorite quote is as follows. "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ----Henry Adams----- I am adamant to maintain a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a B.A. degree in history and an M.A. in secondary education with a concentration in social studies. Th

Over the past few months I have been involved with substitute teaching in Richland School District 2. Since being involved I have gotten very much involved in every aspect of teaching. I have been requested at serveral of the district schools because of the way I respond to being in the classroom and working with children of age grades and ages. I am very excited about being in the schools on a daily basis and plan to take things a step further and pursue a full time teaching position in the upcoming school through an accrediated university program. 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.

My passion is the teaching of children. I beleive each child has his or her own learning stlye. I teach to that style, but also offer the child a chance to experience alternative learning modalities as well. I belive children enjoy learning kinestically best. I offer the best posssible environment for learning. That environment includes liberal exploration as well as designed structure. I am a firm beliver in being a student's "guide on the side" and not the "sage on the stage". As a liberal arts graduate, I had the opportunity to receive a well-rounded education. I have since established a successful career in education, specializing in the middle level. I have expertise in social studies, reading, English, and study skills. I also have an extraordinary understanding of the creative writng process, as I have taught writng in my area of expertise. In the last several years I ha

I learned to be a more creative, patient and more caring teacher during that school year. Rather, then march though a list of state standards I learned to improve reading and math skills, while building a child’s self esteem. I learned how to praise a student often and effectively. I watched how when a child’s self esteem improves their academies and behavior improves. I believe that my experiences with students with learning differences will make me an asset to any school. Personally, I am dyslexic and despite my learning differences I was able to attend law school and pass the South Carolina Bar exam. During my first year of teaching I was disappointed to learn how little time and energy is given to students who learn differently. My second year I choose to work at the John de la Howe School for at-risk youth and I loved every minute of that year: the school was designed to teach st

I have a genuine love for teaching and sharing my knowledge with students. I am extremely patient and serve as a listening ear for students. First, I allow the student to express his or her learning needs. Then, I assess the student’s needs and determine the best way to tackle the situation. Once a plan has been established and implemented, I measure the effectiveness of the plan and make adjustments as necessary. I have always excelled in writing and grammar.

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.
