Dear Parents and Students - I am pleased to have this pathway to help students as they move through their academic school years. I have a strong background in mentoring and teaching young people from kindergarten through high school. I have a BS degree in elementary education and dual certification in Exceptional Child. These accomplishments have equipped me with the most progressive teaching techniques, which can be applied to a whole classroom setting or for individual students with learning disabilities. students who have just fallen behind in their studies or even the student who is excelling. I decided to change careers after spending 12+ years as a self-employed business person. I have worked for the State of DE as a project manager. I am now employed with Christiana Hospital, but I also tutor because I enjoy the interaction with students and believe I can help families struggling with education issues or supplement the learning experience. I would describe myself as a self-starter and I enjoy prioritizing goals to successful completion. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds - particularly children. I believe the combination of my business, education and volunteer background are the building blocks of my philosophy of teaching.
Experience:
-I am a certified elementary education teacher with a dual certification in Exceptional Children K-8th.
-I successfully home-schooled my own two children for a period of 4 years, while they were in 3-7th grades.
While homeschooling, I was hired as a mentor to about 7 home-school families each year. I counseled and collaborated with them regarding organizing their home-school, selecting curriculum, finding multiple resources to enhance the learning day and ensuring they were meeting state standards for education.
-I have a long history teaching children in my volunteer endeavors.
-I was employed as a substitute-guest teacher in a successful Delaware school district.
My Personality:
I am patient and calm. I love to learn new things
