As an Honors graduate of Boston with special emphasis in Music Composition, and a Graduate Teaching Fellow at The University of Chicago, I have both seen, and worked with the best in my field.

I enjoy teaching and utilize several different types of styles to keep students interested and desirous of learning. I provide thought provoking questions which require more than a simple yes or no answer. I envoke lecture as little as required to get across the point, but prefer demonstration or class participation. I utilize small groups so that students learn to interact with others. I have been teaching at the post-secondary level for 3 years. Prior to that time I taught classes in Emergency Medical Technician and Cardio-pulmonary Life Support to military Doctors, nurses and medical techinicians.

I enjoy reading to children and helping them understand as well as enjoy the words. The proud faces they wear is a priceless reward, to the knowledge that they have accomplished learning. All children absorb information like sponges. It is up to educators (parents, teachers, tutors) to ensure that our children don't just learn to read. I want to ensure that they KNOW what the information means and how to apply to their present and future lives in becoming productive citizens in society. I have earned an AA in Travel Management; a BA in Business; and an MBA in Human Resources. The knowledge I've gained through higher education is that education is continuous. It does not end when the last research paper or essay is submitted.

Throughout college, I completed two field experiences followed by my student teaching experience. In between my field experiences, I substitute taught in three different school districts. These personal accounts allowed me to examine the similarities and differences within grade levels, and to recognize the various strategies used to reach all learners in both suburban and urban settings. Being out in the field also enabled me to further enhance my ability to communicate well with students, parents and faculty. My studies abroad in Seville, Spain are also an essential supplement to my educational training and background. Being immersed in a foreign language and culture is an experience all its own.

My teaching style is one of non-confrontational teaching. I have had professors who did that, and it only serves to put the student on edge and not lend itself to learning. I prefer to find out what the pupil is having trouble with and then see if I can find an interest in the concept for the student to make it relevant and help him retain the concepts involved. I like to interject humor and kidding and self deprecating comments to let the person know that he/she is not the only one having problems so the student doesn't feel devastated and hopeless. I like to reinforce the positive learning curve and support positive strides in learning and progress. As a retired Osteopath I realize the value of education and the problems that we all have in learning,.

My teaching style is progressive. I believe education should be entertaining, however not entertainment. I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life.

My teaching style is very unique. I believe that in order for a student to learn and retain information, they must be able to make a connection between the material that they are learning and their own life. Therefore I always ensure that I make real life connections when teaching skills. I show students how the material relates to their own lives and how it will be useful to them in the future. I also believe in allowing students to use their own critical thinking skills in order to solve problems. That means, that instead of teaching a student basic facts and details, I teach students how to think for themselves. I also enjoy using manipulatives and realia during instruction. I believe that integrating books, articles and artifacts ensures that students are able to grasp a concept. I have taught elementary school for a total of seven years.

Youngsters come in all different shapes and sizes, as well as different brain patterns. Being able to communicate and level with children is imperative in a teaching environment. My teaching style would be one of which that is goal-oriented, organized, and clear. An open-feedback forum is also something that I also believe in. It's important that parents, as well as the student, can communicate with me on what does and does not work as far as teaching strategies are concerned. I am very open-minded, honest, and positive.
