Candice

Certified Tutor

My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks.
"I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day." I am very comfortable teaching any subjects K-8 but my favorite subjects are Math and Science. But I can teach a wide variety of subjects. I can teach over 80 or more subjects. I very much love teaching our students so they can meet their goals. I'm a lover of animals I like to read and listen to different genres of music. I received my degree from The University of Memphis and are true blue and enjoy watching all sports from college to professional sports but deep down I'm still a Nebraska cornhuskers my hometown. I have been with Varsity Tutors and have become an expert tutor.
