Experience Summary
I graduated IRSC Journalism degree w/High Honors, May 2012. I have been awarded many scholarships. I am currently an enrolled in IRSC Human Services Bachelor Degree program. I love children--having raised three sons successfully through college. I understand the workings of a child's mind, and also work well with adults. With the right instructor/instructions...one who loves to teach....success is a given. I can help get the job done. There are many ways to accomplish learning. Not everyone learns in the same way. First you have to understand the person and how they best learn. Reading, writing and the English Language is my expertise. Look forward to working with you. Barbara

Basic Learning Skills
Took three accelerated Teaching courses, IRSC this summer. Dean's List
Elementary
I am a High Honors AA degree graduate of IRSC and also an ESOL student....Have taken Education courses, on Dean's List. Have raised three sons successfully through college. Always very involved in their education. Love teaching kids. Very effective.
Elementary Math
Have recently taken many math courses for my college degree. Great refresher.
Elementary Reading
I love to read. I have taken Children's literature courses, along with always reading to my own children. Reading needs to be interactive for the child to grasp the concept...I am great with accomplishing a child's comprehension of reading....I love it...I know the tricks....beginning with basics...repetition....I possess great patience to effect this end.
Elementary Social Studies
Elementary Study Skills
While in college, because of my life experience (personal and my children's), a number of professors asked for me to teach the class.
Elementary Vocabulary
Vocabulary is a built-upon expertise that needs to be learned. If done correctly, students will become very good with words. . .They are sponges who just need the correct reinforcement and instruction. I can get the job done. I have accomplished this with my own children who scored the highest on SATs....This coupled with my college experience will prove to be highly effective. Tried and true.
