"Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach at various grade levels from 1st through 8th, with the exception of 2nd grade. This experience has provided me with a broad perspective on student development and learning strategies across different age groups. I employ best practices in my teaching methods, ensuring that students are not only meeting but often exceeding academic expectations. My approaches are rooted in Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which emphasize proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. This framework has been instrumental in fostering a productive and respectful classroom culture where students can thrive academically and socially.

Throughout my 19-year teaching career, I have had the privilege of working with students ranging in age from 6 to 14 years old. My extensive experience spans a variety of instructional contexts, including traditional classroom settings, one-on-one tutoring, and small group instruction. This versatility has allowed me to tailor my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students, ensuring personalized attention and support. Whether guiding a whole class through a new concept, providing individual assistance to a struggling learner, or facilitating collaborative group activities, I am committed to creating an engaging and effective learning environment for all my students. My comprehensive background and adaptable teaching approach underscore my dedication to helping each student achieve their full potential, making me exceptionally well-equipped to excel as a tutor. By leveraging my experience and skills, I can offer targeted and impactful tutoring sessions that address individual learning needs and foster academic success." less...
