I have been very blessed with the ability of instructing young minds for the past 16 years. The majority of my teaching experiences have been teaching at an inner-city school. During a few of those years I was the lead teacher, and the school's resident educator. I was also honored to have been nominated as teacher of the year for our district.

I believe that students learn best in a safe, loving environment. People in interviews would always ask me my teaching style and I would always say the same thing. "It always changes." As a teacher my students were different from year to year, and I could not approach each class the same way. A few examples are that some classes did best in small groups with lots of hands-on-activities, some were better with independent work, and some needed to learn through discovery. Most of the classes I taught had a mixture of these methods along with other ways to reach them. One of the first things that was needed was to get to know my students and their learning style. I would then determine what each student might be lacking in knowledge and the skills that were still needed to determine the plan to help them become successful. A plan was then created, and modified as needed.
