My organized, but flexible, style of teaching and tutoring helps me address the most important aspects of a...

...been teaching for 11 years, all of which have been in Virginia Beach. I have spent most of my time teaching 2nd grade, but I have also taught 4th and 5th grade.

...how it feels to not understand something that is complex or even things that are deemed simple. I understand that everybody is different and we all learn at different rates. I know over time, I can teach clients accordingly in a manner that suits them best. My overall goal in life is to become a professor at a university and teach students who are just as passionate about biology as I am. Outside of academia...

...needs of the individual child; especially a child who is struggling. With my experience as an educator, I am greatly concerned with what motivates a child to want to learn.

If the child doesn't want to learn and is reluctant, they develop a deep rooted resentment towards school if true learning is not taking place. Constant struggle or repeated...

...(even standardized tests, which require critical thinking!) and a student's goals, and it's usually bigger than it first appears. A star athlete doesn't just need to pass English to graduate; she needs to be able to write a well organized and error-free letter.

It is my desire to motivate and inspire others to use their experiences to...

...from pre-K through adults in reading comprehension, elementary school math, writing, grammar and state test preparation. I enjoy teaching writing and helping students who are having difficulty in reading comprehension. I have seen the excited look on a child's face when they get an increase in reading or writing scores on mandatory state tests. It gives them a tremendous boost in confidence and self esteem. Since I have extensive experience in tutoring, it will be...
