Fun Facts
I enjoy reading in my freetime. I love reading and learning about history, specifically ancient history. These two interests are what lead me to want to be a teacher. I want to share my passion of reading and love of history with students.
I love black cats and have two. I also have a mini Australian shepherd who is always by my side when I'm home. We both love long walks in the summer and snuggling up on the couch watching our favorite shows.
I also love indoor plants and gardening.
About Me
I am a graduate from Ohio Dominican University with a Bachelors in Middle Childhood Education concentrating in Social Studies and Language Arts. I am also certified to teach 4-6 Math and Science. I graduated in December of 2019 and I am currently subbing in local school districts and waiting to land my dream teaching job. My goal is to be middle school teacher teaching social studies or language arts.
Experience
While in school I had the opportunity to tutor 4th and 5th graders in reading. I also spent several semesters with middle school students and worked along side the classroom teacher to teach math, science, social studies, and language arts. I student taught in a middle school teaching US American History. Before I graduated I also worked in afterschool childcare for elementary and middle school students. We offered homework help where I would frequently help with math homework.
Approach
As a teacher, I like to build strong relationships with my students and find what we have in common to connect. This allows me to personalize instruction to my students and help to motivate them to learn the material. As a tutor, I will use this same approach for my student because if students have a good relationship with their tutor they are more likely to learn.
