I am a Certified K-8 Teacher, graduate of the University of Michigan, School of Education's ELMAC (Master of Art in Education with Elementary Certification) Program. I have acquired over a decade's worth of teaching experience. that have reached as far away as Shanghai, China, where I lived for 3 years. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught Spanish to lower and upper elementary students at several Ann Arbor Public Schools and Kindergarten institutions in the Southeast Michigan area. In addition, I worked as a Substitute Teacher to K-8 students at St. Francis Catholic School in Ann Arbor, South Arbor Academy in Ypsilanti and as a Special Education Substitute Teacher for the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD). I had the opportunity to work at Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences (DAAS) as a 5th Grade Teacher to inner-city students for the 2007-2008 school year where I also initiated and implemented a Spanish after school program. My prior employment experiences not only afforded independent work opportunities, but also effective communication and interaction with people of diverse cultural backgrounds and affiliations, which includes co-workers, colleagues, and community leaders. I am a results-oriented individual with a strong administrative and organizational background, along with quality problem-solving and decision-making abilities and skills. My educational philosophy includes the respect and care of my students by establishing a classroom culture of respect and appreciation for self and others, along with responsibility for own learning and high expectation for all students in a culturally diverse and enriched environment; integration of curriculum; instruction and assessment aligned for maximum student engagement, learning and understanding; and my preparedness with effective lesson plans, which incorporates differentiated instruction designed with each student's zone of proximal development. My students benefit greatly from the infusion of the Spanish culture, language, and perspective as part of their learning experience, along with a worldview inclusiveness and respect of all cultures, because of my unique appreciation and veneration for cultural diversity; my corresponding background and fluency with the Spanish language, including knowledge of both Chinese and French language and culture.

I am passionate about helping students find what makes them feel successful, inside or outside of the classroom. I have experience in special education and law, have spent over a decade in the classroom, and love being able to share my experiences to help students build their own success toolkits for their future careers.

I have been lucky enough to work with many students as an educator for the past 10 years. I received my Bachelor of the Arts in Psychology for Marian University in Indianapolis and my teaching certification from Indiana Wesleyan University. Since becoming a teacher, I have worked with students in many different settings from rural to urban in both private and public schools. My prior teaching experience has been diverse as I have been a general education teacher, Title I teacher, language arts teacher and special education teacher. In fact, I have had the opportunity to work with students in grades 1st-8th at some point during my career! While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about reading intervention and teaching the Orton-Gillingham method. In fact, I recently completed training necessary to qualify as a Dyslexia Specialist in Indiana. The most rewarding things about being a teacher is seeing my students have that "AHA!" moment and grow in confidence during our time together. My philosophy when working with students is that learning should be fun, meaningful and engaging and something that sparks their interest in becoming lifelong learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially mysteries), watching movies, spending time with my family and friends and learning new things that will help me to grow both personally and professionally.

I'm a graduate of Kennesaw State University studying computer Game Design and Development. I own a small game Studio, Arius Black Studios, and we focus on mobile and PC development. I love teaching computer science and helping students overcome the harder concepts, and establish good habits in school.

I am a graduate from Central State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. My area of concentration is in Early Childhood. I have worked with children from ages 6 weeks to age 8. I have a passion for teaching young children and to watch them grow. I believe education is the foundation for success and with hard work and determination nothing is impossible to achieve. I believe that by working together, each student can reach their highest potential.

I am an educator and mom of 3 from Pennsylvania. I have been volunteering and working in the field of education for about 16 years now. I have a genuine love for learning and passion for teaching!I graduated from Florida State University with my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Special Education. I am also a certified teacher in Florida and Pennsylvania. I spent 6 years working in a Special Needs school as a job coach, substitute teacher and both an elementary and secondary classroom teacher. I have also taught ESL online for the past 4 years and have my TESOL Certification.My goal when teaching or learning is always to have fun. I try to come up with exciting and engaging ways to motivate students and keep their attention. I include music, games, videos and movement in my lessons whenever possible!In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, being outside, exercising, cooking, dancing and listening to music.

I am a passionate and patient teacher who works hard to help kids grow their skills and confidence! I am very skilled at differentiating material to fit each individual's needs. I am getting ready to complete my 6th year of teaching in special education. I have experience writing and following IEP's.I love creating fun and engaging ways to learn new academic skills.It is my goal that your student will have fun, work hard, and master their goals while tutoring with me. It will not be just another things on their list to do, but a time that they look forward to!

My passion in helping students stems from the fact that I was once one myself, and not a very good one. College was a door to a new opportunity of learning. As soon as I became a college freshman, I saw a different world opening before my eyes. Today, I work with many diverse students in different scenarios: Pre-K to college level; foreign students needing to learn English for careers as well as scholastically; and SAT and ACT preparation for students seeking to get into college. The one thing that's common in these various scenarios is my passion to help students that are apprehensive to learn because they don't know what to do, and teach them how to break down a situation and discover for themselves how to study, learn, and find out to derive the answer for themselves. My Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Syracuse University and my Master's certificate in TEFL/TESOL from Learning Tutoring were not easy to obtain, However, that goal was worth it as they prepare me each day to to teach, interesting, diverse students, and assist them in achieving their educational goals. In addition to proven teaching experience, I have 30+ years' work experience in three different industries--banking, advertising, and hospitality. Since I am teach for a variety of accredited institutions composed of students of many ages and from diverse cultures and backgrounds, my subjects include, but are not limited to: English (verbal, written and phonics), literature, essay writing, SAT and ACT English and math, history, science, filmmaking (award winning filmmaker), acting (union actor--SAG, AEA), 2D animation, drawing, painting, and Adobe Creative Suite. My favorite subject to teach is English--phonics, verbal, reading, and literature. My teaching style is hands-on. I just don't stand or sit there and lecture. Lectures are boring. As my resume and other documents state, I have 30 years experience as a union actor in good standing. Much of this acting experience has been in improvisation and role playing. I bring a lot of role playing activities into my class, especially when I am teaching foreign adults who need to know English for their jobs/or if the relocated to the U.S. My lessons are based on the students themselves. They're tailored to student individual needs. We do a student scenario, say applying for a graduate degree scholarship. If they are employed in an English speaking environment, we might do something where they are interviewing for a promotion. My philosophy is all about the 'individual student's needs,' whether I am teaching a class of six students or one-on-one. Outside of the class, I am interested in kayaking, filmmaking, and writing scripts and plays.

Learning has relevance as real-world experience. I am a University of California (UC) professor with a doctor's degree in English-and-American Literature. I have received several forms of academic recognition and am a member of several academic honors societies:Cambridge Who's Who: 2007-Present: Lifetime MemberPhi Lambda Theta: August 19, 2002Phi Kappa Phi: April 26, 2002Who's Who: 1989-1990Dean's List at California State University: Dominguez Hills: June 15, 1980Bachelor of Art's Degree with Distinction: California State University: Dominguez Hills: June 15, 1978Associate of Arts Degree with Distinction: El Camino College: June 15, 1976Alpha Gama Sigma Award: El Camino College: June 15, 1976I am also a member of the alumni associations of both the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). For many years, I have primarily taught English, Literature, and Composition, while also teaching courses in Philosophy, Science, Art, History, American History, American Government, US Constitution, Economics, etc. I also have backgrounds in research and in the health field. Further, I have also been a Referee and Reader for UCLA's American Indian Studies Center, providing insights as to whether a document should be published.I am familiar with both the Modern Language Association (MLA) standards and the American Psychology Association (APA) standards in writing, including in citations and references. I have over twenty years of experience reading, marking, correcting, and grading papers at the following levels: UC schools, state university, community college, and K-12, both in regular education and in special education.I have taught students and have graded papers in UC schools for over six years, in state university for two years, in community colleges for five years, and in K-12 for seven years. All the above is concurrent with practicing private tutoring in writing in many areas, but primarily in English, Composition, and Literature. I am credentialed in teaching in special education, both as a generalist and as an autism specialist.
