I'm from Flint, Michigan and have lived here my whole life. When I graduated high school I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. When I became a substitute teacher, I wasn't expecting it to be something long term but that's what it turned into! I taught many different age groups K5-12. I enjoy learning as much as teaching and that is why I want to try to take this opportunity to teach virtually. I enjoy reading as well as history because of the great stories that come with the different characters. When I'm not teaching I enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling, playing video games, and playing soccer. I have a goal to one day be fluent in another language.

I would say that my approach varies on the situation. I am student-centered when it comes to understanding a certain way that a child will attain the knowledge they need. I'm also teacher-centered when I see that a student is advanced to a degree of understanding.

I went to Schoolcraft college, a junior college in Livonia Michigan, and I got my associates taking Education courses as well as volunteering to work with Elementary students. Afterwards I transferred to Spring Arbor University and eventually got my bachelor's degree in Sociology. When I graduated, I was undecided with what I wanted to do career wise and eventually became a substitute teacher to earn a living and that eventually brought me into tutoring.

I have done substitute teaching for about four years now and have learned a lot. For example, understanding that this generation is different and technology is the new way to teach, and it's needed. I have been to different schools within my county, K5-12th grade. I have also mentored many different students offering a help when it comes to not only assignments but rides home from after school programs. I understand the needs of my students and just want them to be the best they can be.

My mission

My mission is to help the student grow. When I was young and needed tutoring, I did not become the best in the subject overnight. I slowly but surely improved because I had someone to guide, as well as discipline me to be better. I will see where each student is and bring them to an area of improvement, that is my goal.

My Story

I have been interested in a tutoring position for quite some time. I would like to tutor online because of the fact that I'm a substitute teacher I can't teach summer school. I also see many of the benefits such as making my own hours and understanding a set schedule. But most importantly, I want to use this opportunity of tutoring to teach year-round and improve myself as an overall educator.

Cognitive Diversity

How I adapt to students with diverse intellectual needs.

I have taught children with many different special needs. Whether ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia etc. I have worked at every school from elementary, middle school, and high school. I have seen it all and have always been adaptable in my work to help.

I belive so because I will have my classroom based on understanding and patience. I have dealt with 2e students before and I accept the challenge. I understand 2e students can have different levels and gifts in certain subjects so I will take note, be aware, and prepare.

I do believe so because I have experience working with both gifted and profoundly gifted children and understand that the levels are all over the place. I will prepare and acting accordingly, I am also excited because I can see how their mind works and see their genius when it comes to work.
