I find joy in helping students meet their educational needs and helping them succeed wherever their learning takes them. As Albert Einstein indicated, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." To think about your thinking is the key to education and represents my goal as a tutor. You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.

All educators should be professional and have a lot of patience no matter where they are teaching- online or in-person, in urban areas, rural areas or small suburban areas with students or all backgrounds and abilities. Educators today have more opportunities to impact the lives of students from various backgrounds due to the technology and learning platforms. Educators can influence student's academic lives more than they realize it. The educators of today need to be creative, continue self-enrichment, be fair, and should be caring. The teacher needs to step out and help with extra-curricular activities like field trips, advising clubs, assisting academic fairs, and promoting student academic achievements through activities outside the classroom. Often this means using their own time and money to promote the activities for the students. Educators need to be able to communicate with students, other educators, staff, administration, and the community. They also need to be available to answer the questions and concerns of the students and help them develop as scholars. Educators are like mentors guiding the learners to truth, knowledge, and helping them find their voice. Educators need to be outstanding examples in both word and deed because they need to be on time, have their materials ready, and be prompt. The educators need to keep track of their commitments to the students as well as the school, especially in a small urban setting where they are counting on them. I strive to be that educator for you.

My many experiences as a classroom, hybrid, and online graduate student have given me a unique perspective on what makes an excellent online instructor and what creates a disastrous experience for students. I have 13 years of experience as a classroom instructor and several years as an online tutor. I know the foundation of success for online nursing students is contingent on faculty being able to create a cordial and professional relationship with each student. I have extensive experience with APA formatting and writing style and available for editing APA papers including grammar and flow of the content. My teaching experiences include BSN, ADN, and LPN/LVN programs. These programs are regionally accredited and required instructors to use and create NCLEX structured questions. It is imperative for student success during and after completing school to critically evaluate and analyze nursing practice through difficult and alternative format questions. Unfortunately, NCLEX structured questions can be intimidating for students. As a former Assistant Dean for Academic Success and as an online tutor, I have extensive experience helping students understand and apply their knowledge to decrease test anxiety, decrease frustrations with studying, and increase their confidence. Nothing feels better than to hear from students who discovered their personal learning style and hearing about their successes.

My Philosophy of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment comes from each other; and following what Wald and Castleberry (2002) provided in several great suggestions related to learning from each other when it comes to teacher improvement, learning, leadership, moral, school culture, student/faculty learning and life in general. The authors shared the following when it comes to assessment and learning that I also practice:1. Understanding yourself. As learners we have to understand ourselves by knowing who we are, what we believe in, and how we are willing to share what we have learned. We all see and react to things differently; that is important to see and listen to other's viewpoints.2. Understanding others' beliefs and assumptions. We all have various beliefs and assumptions with expressed opinions that can be either influenced by others or just learned from experiences. We should be interested in knowing what others are talented in, what they have trouble with, how they can help another individual overcome an obstacle, what traits or similarities and differences they can bring to the unity for the team.3. Communicating together in a trusting atmosphere. We should be able to listen to others carefully when one shares meaningful information without interrupting their thoughts or sharing your own personal views until they finish. We should respect each other's comments, be honest to giving your own suggestions if asked, be able to determine meaning of their conversation by rephrasing/repeating what they have ideas especially if the atmosphere is warm, pleasant and trustworthy, and should explain the reasons for doing certain things in detailed to avoid any relationship.4. Making decisions together as a whole/consensus. We should be able to be straightforward with each other when making decision as a team. We should have a tally as to how many agree or disagree to certain issues and reasons to support decisions5. Establishing ground rules and roles. When we come together as a team we should have set times to begin and end, we should stay focused on the discussion at hand, we should avoid any unnecessary interruption, we should allow all members to voice their opinion, we should save any negative judgments, we should support each other's suggestions and not knock them down, we should not make meetings long and drawn out, we should have established roles for each facilitator's recording kept.6. Allowing time to reflect. As a team the group should reflect back on the rules, goal, vision, and ideas that have been set to improve learning for all. See what has been accomplished, and what else needs improvement/change on a continuous bases for learning, for growth, and an avoidance of becoming complacent.

I am passionate about helping students because it is in my DNA. I am a 3rd generation educator so I have teaching in my blood. Lol. Also, I have witnessed how teachers impact the lives of children in a tremendous way. I have had the opportunity to teach in 3 different states including the midwest and the south. These students have ranged in grades from kindergarten to fourth grades. I have 11 years of classroom experience in public schools and charter schools. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from USC. I am presently enrolled in a Master's program in Counseling. This will help strengthen my understanding of the various children and their family dynamics. I will learn how that plays a role in their learning process and how I can best teach them. The subjects I tutor are mainly Reading, Writing and Math in the elementary levels K-5. My favorite subjects to tutor are these three just mentioned. It is a three way tie because they all work together. My teaching philosophy is that every child can learn. We just have to find their learning style and teach them where they are-even if they are grade levels behind. If they already excel, I believe in pushing them forward at a pace that suites them. My style of tutoring is getting to know the student first and implementing their likes. I am also very professional and very patient. Outside of teaching I love to spend time with my family, attend church in person or virtually, meet new people, roller skate, and read about new things.

I am a graduate of Boise State University, where I received my bachelor of Science in Psychology, also Pennsylvania State University, and Capella University where I graduated with a master's degree in human Behavior. While obtaining my degrees as a single mother of two children, my son was diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities. That is where I gained intimate knowledge of IEPs and 504 learning plans. It sparked my fascination with the psychology of people from all different backgrounds. I have worked with individuals with a broad range of different mental health diagnoses and learning styles. I have been homeschooling my seven-year-old granddaughter for the past year and a half (she also has ADHD). I utilize a variety of alternative tutoring methods from the typical school curriculum. I genuinely feel each child is a unique individual and therefore their tutoring should be tailored to their own learning style, strength, weaknesses, and personality whether it be audio, kinesthetic or visual. Previously, I was employed as a CBRS (Community Based Rehabilitation Specialist) worker. It enabled me to work with students of all ages from grade school through high school. The one-on-one work I did with each of those students reinforced that individuality plays an important role in their confidence, comprehension, and success. I'm proud to offer tutoring in Reading, Math, and Language, but I have to admit that Math is the subject I enjoy the most. I love that we are constantly building on knowledge previously obtained (I see it as growth in my mind). I also believe that it is vitally important to keep in mind that when a student is struggling, sometimes finding a lighter (less stressful) way to help them retain information lends a more successful result and a better attitude towards the study sessions. When I'm not in my teaching/tutoring element, I enjoy painting crafts from ceramics to mandalas on coasters, coloring, listening to music and playing board or card games with family.
