I graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor of communication (3.9 GPA), I graduated Lone Star College with an associate of science (4.0 GPA), and I graduated Houston Baptist University with a bachelor of psychology and a bachelor of education (4.0 GPA X 2). I am a doctoral candidate at Southern New Hampshire University pursuing a PhD in MESA - an acronym for measurement, evaluation, statistics, and assessment. I am honored by every opportunity that allows me to play a role in leading students toward learning that they are capable. I deeply enjoy seeing students gain confidence in their academic abilities. I have been fortunate enough to have taught and tutored students in ages ranging from three-years-old to twenty-years-old. I have taught in classrooms, I have tutored small groups, and I have tutored one-one-one. The experiences differ, but each has been gratifying. I am excited to tutor in a variety of subjects including English, language arts, reading, writing, literature, math, world history, US history, social studies, studying techniques, and organizational techniques, and other various subjects. I have taught toddlers and I have tutored young adults, and I've worked with students at every age in between. I enjoy teaching any subject with which I am familiar, but my favorite would probably fall somewhere under the umbrella of language arts as well as algebra. My teaching philosophy is first and foremost to have confidence in my students. Students pick up not only on what is said by adults in positions of authority, but also by what is not said. If a teacher lacks confidence in a student, that lack of confidence is absolutely noticeable to the student. My confidence in my students doesn't falter. Additionally, my own enthusiasm about the subject being taught is critical in keeping students engaged. I am adaptable and flexible. Even with excellently designed lesson plans, sometimes student attention wanders and and interest dips. Adaptability and flexibility are critical tools for teachers who want their students to not only learn, but also to be enthusiastically engaged. My tutoring techniques will vary from one child to the next. My tutoring techniques are tailored individually, and the tailoring improves as I spend more time with the student. I have extensive experience working with children with ADHD as well as with children on the spectrum. I enjoy helping these students to find tools that help them succeed. I'm honored by your consideration of allowing me to work with your child.
