Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.
I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.

For math, I would explain the mechanics and techniques of how to get the answer. I want to make sure the student understands fully so I would also be asking the student questions just to ensure he or she knows the material well. For English, I would focus on practicing and discussion. Since it is a langauge, I focus more on practicality. I would also talk to the student and discuss whatever he is having trouble with so that I can give him or her tips to improve.
I have usually insisted in helping people who have struggled in English and Math. I would do my best to explain the material until the student would have a solid understanding of the material. I have helped so many international students in English. As for math, I would insist on helping friends and anyone who is wishing to need help.
