Special Needs: ?
I have worked in the education field for over 10 years as an
aide, private tutor, after school teacher, and teacher's aide. My
duties have included helping with homework, teaching/implementing
elementary school subjects, and creating fun, supplemental
activities/lessons. Some examples include teaching music using wooden
sticks and creating a science activity using cornstarch and water to
make slime. I have also utilized educational board games to help
reinforce basic reading, writing. I have utilized math bingo
games and created a jeopardy style game with older kids. My teaching
philosophy involves instilling and motivating positive self esteem in
my students.
Within the last 6 years, I have worked mainly as a private tutor
helping students with homework and reinforcing supplemental materials
with what they are learning in the classroom. I strive to provide my students the
the foundation needed to succeed in reading, writing, and mathematics.
