Experience
In the education profession for more than 15 years, I've taught regular and special education students, while working as a mentor and in various facets of educational administration have also grounded me as a tutor. From elementary to middle school math to reading, writing, American history, study skills, geography, and science, I can do it all and even prep students for standardized tests. I have helped kids with different abilities and at different ages. Teaching is a vocation and I am passionate about students finding success, doing everything to help them learn. I am adaptable, as all students learn at their own pace and style, and can meet the needs of any individual student.When teaching, I use visuals and hands-on learning tools. The learning process should be fun so students are engaged in the lesson. My belief is the more senses used while learning, the better a student retains the information. I have been the principal of a special education middle school for three years. This school helps students who have speech and language disorders and works to help them find success in daily life. When not working or tutoring, I spend my time working out, reading, or doing crafts.
