I am a certified elementary teacher and have worked in education for more than 25 years. I've tutored and taught students in all subjects from grades K - 7 and have worked with students with various learning disabilities. I've worked in public and private schools as a teacher and a tutor and have helped many students improve their grades by 1 - 2 levels. I currently work as a reading instructor at RPS.

I am excited to have the opportunity to share a little bit more about myself. I grew up in a very small town with a very loving family. When I am not teaching I love to travel, try new restaurants and foods, or watch sports. Also, family is a very important part of my life and who I am today. One thing that has truly made me the person I am today is teaching and education.

I am a fresh, energetic, and experienced teacher and coordinator looking to teach and tutor particularly in the areas of Special Education and Intervention. I strongly believe in a teaching environment that promotes learning. I think this can best be accomplished in a classroom in which the children feel at home and are unafraid of mistakes. Each child should feel part of a team supported by their teacher and by their classmates. I have had felt the greatest satisfaction watching with pride, a c...More

I am a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), and I will be attending VCU School of Medicine. I am an aspiring pediatrician because I enjoy both working with children as well as medicine.

I am currently applying to medical schools in hopes of attending in the Fall of 2015. Helping my younger brother manage his genetic disorder, in addition to years of teaching special needs students at summer camp, has inspired me to pursue a career as a Pediatrician with a focus in Medical Genetics.

I am now in my third year of teaching were I have worked with a variety of disabilities. My philosophy of teaching is simple. A classroom is not a "cookie cutter classroom", where one size fits all. As a special educator I must adapt the curriculum to each student, taking into account the diverse population of a 21st century classroom. I do this first by getting to know my students as individuals, taking into account their backgrounds, interests, goals, academic strengths, personal needs, and ab...More

I am able to meet the students' specific needs and can facilitate their learning. I teach the core subjects including English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science. My favorite subjects to tutor are reading and math. I believe that every child is capable of learning, but every child doesn't learn the same way or at the same rate. It is my job to help my students learn and realize that they are capable of learning. At the elementary level I also need to help motivate students to want t...More
