My approach to tutoring is rooted in an enthusiastic and engaging educational philosophy, honed over 8 years of experience in various educational settings. I believe in a collaborative and data-driven method to help students achieve their learning goals.

Here's a breakdown of my teaching method, a typical lesson plan, what sets me apart, and who my lessons are for:

My Teaching Method and Techniques:

Collaborative Learning: I emphasize collaboration, working closely with students to understand their learning styles and needs. I also have experience leading collaborative meetings to enhance training methods and improve teaching practices.
Data-Driven Instruction: A core aspect of my approach is using data to drive instruction. I specialize in data collection to tailor instructional needs, ensuring that lessons are personalized and effective.
Variety of Platforms: I am proficient in delivering presentations and instruction using a variety of platforms, including Canva, Microsoft Office, and Google. This allows for dynamic and accessible learning environments, whether in-person or virtual.
Active Engagement: I believe in actively engaging students, drawing on my experience in leading tours and co-teaching to make learning interactive and memorable.
Curriculum Development: I have experience developing captivating curriculum for staff training, which informs my ability to create clear and compelling lesson content for students.
A Typical Lesson Plan:

While each lesson is tailored to the individual student, a typical plan would include:

Review and Goal Setting (5-10 minutes): We'd start by reviewing previous concepts and setting clear, achievable goals for the current session.
Direct Instruction and Explanation (20-30 minutes): I would introduce new material, explaining concepts clearly and using various platforms (e.g., Google Slides, Microsoft Word) to illustrate points.
Interactive Practice and Application (20-25 minutes): This is where the student actively engages with the material through exercises, problem-solving, or discussions. I'd use data collected from their performance to adjust the approach as needed.
Feedback and Refinement (5-10 minutes): I'd provide constructive feedback and we'd work together to refine understanding and address any lingering questions.
Summary and Next Steps (5 minutes): We'd summarize what was learned and outline any practice or preparation for the next session.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor:

Diverse Experience: My experience spans from leading adult education tours at Zoo Atlanta to facilitating virtual and in-person learning environments at the elementary level, and even supporting students with virtual learning in small groups. This broad background allows me to adapt to various learning contexts and student needs.
Focus on Practical Application: I'm not just about theoretical knowledge; I emphasize practical application and understanding how concepts connect to real-world scenarios. My experience in leading professional development for teachers on curriculum and specializing in data collection for instructional needs speaks to this.
Strong Collaborative and Communication Skills: My resume highlights my effectiveness at collaborating and communicating through various channels like Slack, email, and phone calls. This ensures effective communication with students and, if applicable, parents or teachers.
Commitment to Growth: My continued pursuit of a degree in Business Administration with a focus on Training and Development Management demonstrates my dedication to enhancing my pedagogical skills.
Who the Lessons Are For:

My lessons are suitable for a range of students, particularly those who would benefit from an engaging and data-driven approach to learning. Given my background, I am well-equipped to tutor:

K-12 Students: Especially in subjects where foundational understanding and tailored instruction are crucial, drawing on my experience as an Educator and Grade Level Chair at the elementary level.
Adult Learners: Individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of various topics, as I have experience leading adult education and training.
Students Needing Organizational or Study Skills: My skills in time management, problem-solving, and leadership, combined with my experience as a Student Success Coach, make me effective at helping students develop crucial academic habits.
Students Requiring Support in Virtual or Blended Learning Environments: My proficiency in facilitating both virtual and in-person learning, and using Google and Microsoft platforms, makes me ideal for students navigating these settings.
