...my struggles as a young student. When I was in primary school I struggled greatly in school and required extra assistance. It truly affected me in many ways even though I was very young.

I have...

...I am a teacher of 34 years. I have a Master's degree in Elementary Education (K-8) and Special Education (K-12). I enjoy teaching Reading and history. It is rewarding to see children become engulfed in children's books. I believe that every child can learn to read. Learning to read can be a challenging, but fun experience for anyone who has the desire. I use videos and games to assist with student learning.

...they have. My favorite area to teach is basic information, we often forget about the basics, not knowing this information will often stop a student cold because they don't understand why everyone else seems to know what or how something is done and they somehow missed it. Re-teaching the basics can often remove the stigma that 'I am just stupid and will never learn anything' emotion felt by the student. This area is my sweet...

...a huge college football fanatic. I love traveling to places that are the opposite of the expected, those that have yet to become tourist attractions.

...student at Liberty University with a passion for science, rowing, and research. I have about two years experience tutoring high school math, science, writing, and literature. I approach tutoring from an integrative standpoint. Addressing the immediate issue my student may be having is as important as imparting life-long study skills and learning techniques.

...students of language primarily. I really enjoy working with people on improving cross-cultural communication. I think that communication across languages is very important and that we should strive to be able to communicate to as many people as we can.

However, I have a few...

I believe that education is the doorway to the world, success, and should be accessible to all. It is a tool, in order for us, to advance and grow. As an educator, I believe that it is important that not only to create a learning environment through the use of books, but hands on and created experiences as well.

...I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." I empower my students to seek answers on their own and develop their critical thinking skills. As a tutor, I structure my teaching around the student's individual interests and needs. For example, one 6th grade student loved to perform onstage, so we wrote a play to explore theme, plot, and dialogue. My favorite...
