"Laughter, experience and respect are the best way to teach a child, young adult or an adult.

I have been blessed in my life to teach special children all the way up to adults. It is funny how the most challenging students were adults. I teach each person to their ability, because brains are like flowers...they can all be the same size, and shape, but each one is a little different. Laughter and respect have to be at the top of teaching. So many students do not know how to study properly, get frustrated and give up.

I have fifteen years experience in teaching elementary, special needs, middle school, high school and the last 5 years I have been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at a college in Oklahoma. I truly enjoy watching students grasp the understanding of a new subject and seeing that "light bulb" go off. I have worked in the medical field as a Medical Assistant too. Most people tell me I have the best of both worlds; the ability to take care of the sick and teach the ones who are struggling. I thank God and my parents for giving me that amazing ability.

I study and read as much as each of my students because no one was born "intelligent", working hard and paying attention gets us to that point. When I was young I had a teacher who couldn't teach to "non intelligent" students and I was that student who got frustrated and embarrassed because I wasn't the number one student in class.

Ever since I started teaching and tutoring I have had the philosophy, "teaching is like building a house... you have to have a strong foundation to build the house and every student has to have that same foundation in any subject they learn." It puts more work on the teacher, but a student who wants to learn will love to laugh. Laughing is what makes the world go round." less...
