...as work readiness, life skills, and academic support classes. One of my favorite parts of teaching is getting to know each student as a learner. No two students are the same, and it is an exciting challenge to find what strategies work best for each student.

...student in the most effective way. I have loved working with kids since I was one myself--I've babysat since I was eleven, and I've been "tutoring" my younger brother and sister and my friends since I was in middle school.

...using that data in every day conversations and to shape my decisions. When it comes to tutoring I have a very similar approach. I will analyze where the problem areas are, or where a student may be struggling, and use that information to in turn teach and educate the student.
