Elementary Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Van Buren, AR

Upon graduation from college, I taught 7th grade English for two years, then Gifted & Talented grades 4-6. I left the field of teaching for marriage and babies. My husband was in the military, so we moved quite often. I homeschooled our two children for most of their elementary years. After that I taught 7th grade Algebra at a private school. I have tutored adults and children off and on over the years in various subjects, from reading to anatomy and math. I believe the most important skill we can impart to children is a love for learning, and a curiosity about life. That, with a firm foundation in reading and math, will take them anywhere they want to go. I do utilize more of a socratic rather than a didactic approach, and endeavor to involve the learner in discovery as much as possible. I believe that everyone can learn if given the proper encouragement.

When teaching accounting practice or theory there is no substitute for working problems. Repetition of working problems helps all students gain insight of accounting rules and principles. I am a very patient person who is willing to do what ever it takes to see a student succeed in their academic endeavors. The knowledge gained from completing an accounting degree from an accredited accounting program has possessed me with real world function and theoretical application of multiple accounting systems. My education was not limited to material found on a CPA Exam, but was broad in scope covering new fields in forensic's accounting, and old staples of accounting for natural resources such as petroleum. I am proficient in many accounting fields such as Financial (FASB), Cost, Auditing, Information Systems, Encumbrance, Not for profit, and Advanced mergers and consolidations.

All people can learn, you just have to find a way to make the student understand the information, if its hands on or reading or a combination of both. Children need the tools and the direction and if you provide them both, the sky is the limit. I want to make a difference in a child's life. I have been working with the public for over 20 years, in that time I have worked with young adults as well as mature adults. I have also done some substitute teaching in elementary and high school levels. My experience is in food service and have dealt with many walks of life. I am a very committed member of Lincoln Kiwanis International as well as a member of the Central United Methodist Church. While I was a student at the University of Missouri I received a 5 hour A in Chemistry.

I am a firm believer that all children can learn and that each child has a individual method in which the can and will learn subject matter. I have a variety of ways in which to make learning fun and accomplish the task of meeting educational goals that your child may be lacking.

After studying a variety of subjects in college and graduate school, I realized that most (if not all) of the world's problems could be alleviated through better education. I love getting students interested and involved in studying and exploring all that the world has to offer. I like to facilitate this by using examples that students can relate to and are are interested in. All children are different, but they all deserve enough individualized attention to help them meet their potential. Just one person can make a huge difference in a child's life and how they feel about education. As a former instructor at the University of Arkansas, I am dedicated to furthering the education of others. I taught as the sole instructor for American National Government (ANG) core course for two semesters (60 students each) and was an assistant teacher for one semester in a class of 220.

My teaching style is one of discipline and at the same time hands-on. Students must feel the relevance of the world around them in order to gain an understanding of what's being taught. I work with the individual but never let the focus off of the competition that's waiting. Students must understand that learning is an every day, every moment experience. It's all about how they see the world around them. I love teaching and working with children. The "aha" moment is what I live for. I believe that EVERY student can achieve what they set their mind to with guidance and persistence. In a nutshell, I taught high school English for eleven years. I am passionate about all facets of education in the classroom and the real world. I have much to offer my students whether it be a love of literature, grammar and vocabulary or life itself! I love to teach.

I am always hoping for maximum results but, realize that learning is up to the individual and each person has a different learning experience. Being sincerely interested in a student's progress and success has no substitute. It is one of the most powerful resources a person has as a teacher.

I am a very passionate teacher and I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the students I teach and tutor. I work to build a rapport with my students so that they are comfortable working with me and sharing their struggles with me. My teaching style certainly changes with each subject that I teach. I know that students who are struggling usually do not need more of the same type of instruction that they received in class. I try to find different or hands-on opportunities to help instruct my students. I also know that this sometimes means approaching the same skill or subject several different ways until I find the way that makes it click for my student! I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and I am a certified to teach pk-8th grades. I also have a masters degree in Educational Administration and Curriculum Supervision. I am completing my 7th year of teaching. In th

I believe in experiential learning, which means demonstrating a subject matter that is tailored to a students needs, and then applying it to real life situations. I am dedicated to covering and recovering material until a student feels comfortable and confident. I think all students should be able to understand basic chemical concepts and should not be intimidated be information of conversation that is scientifically inclined. Your student will benefit from my experience in chemistry as well as learn the necessary steps to becoming a well-rounded individual with the skills, habits, and attitudes needed to succeed in most courses. My education in a liberal arts college has allowed me to not only master an extensive range of subject matter from mathematics to science to humanities; but it has also allowed me to apply my knowledge in everyday situations.
