I enjoy teaching mathematics because it was the one subject I could always explain how to do to anyone.I have been tutoring for about 10 years. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to get to know many different students from many different walks of life. I feel that tutoring has helped me to grow as a teacher. I get to see what is going on in the classroom from a different point of view. I work hard to make sure my tutor students achieve success. I want them to leave confident that they can succeed in mathematics. I have tutored a number of students for many years and it was a delight to see them change into mature young adults.

As a Tutor, my motto has always been, "Every student is special and unique in their own way." Therefore, each student learns differently and at their own pace and because of this I sometimes use special education resources to work with some struggling students. I believe every student is a winner!! In the past, as a Tutor for No Child Left Behind Program, I specialized in working with students struggling with phonics or other aspects of reading or comprehension. I reminded them how they can be motivated and conquer any lesson concept. I would always tell them to say like the Little Engine, trying to accomplish going up and over the hill, "I think I Can, I Know I Can." I learned through the years that if a student is motivated and encouraged, they can succeed and the student will try even harder.

During my career in various fields, I have always been a trainer or teacher in some capacity. I derive great satisfaction during the process of explaining and helping others learn something new. Knowledge gives others more control over their destiny.
