...do we appreciate... teachers, teachers, YAAAAAY... teachers!!! Here are a few reasons you should consider me to tutor your child: *I was innately born to teach *Teaching children is a gift that keeps on giving *I earned my B.S. Degree in 1985 at LU *Teaching endorsement NK-4 *27 yrs experience in all...... I was innately born to teach. It's what I do very well and love. Helping children achieve success drives me to stay in this profession for a very long time. I believe in teaching the whole child; academically, emotionally, and socially. It's true when they say "reading is fundamental." Not only is knowing how to read important for success in life but learning how to read can be fun when presented in the appropriate style that your child learns best. I feel that I am very qualified to tutor students in the area of reading and math due to my vast background of experience. I graduated from LU with a B.S. in Elementary Education many years ago. My teaching endorsement covers Nursery Kindergarten-4th grade. I have 27 years of experience in all of the grades of my certification in public and private schools and still get excited when a child puts all the pieces together and learns how to read. My favorite subject to teach is reading but I feel as confident teaching math to students. After retiring from the classroom last year I decided to work with students more closely in a smaller group setting. I have found that to be very rewarding as I can completely focus on the need of the individual child and meet that need at a quicker, more thorough rate. I use different teaching styles when working with students. To list a few would be; hands on, visual, kinesthetic, and technology. Put your child under my instruction and I will do all that is within my power to help them achieve academic success.
