About Lisa

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over seven years experience working with all ages of children, ranging from preschool age to elementary age. In addition, I also have tutoring experience at the elementary level. I am a high energy, self motivated teacher with a sense of humor, personal integrity and creativity. Working with children has been my passion, and I look forward to new and exciting opportunities to expand my career. I feel that I have the qualities and experience that you are looking for. Currently, I am looking forward to expanding my career in the field of education, and taking on a challenging position to achieve growth and stability. My type of tutoring style is consistent with a very direct, explanatory, illustrative, and nurturing technique. When I meet the child for the first time, I take the time to really identify his or her strengths and weaknesses. I then build on the strengths that the child displays to me, and in turn I begin to tackle the weaknesses. I believe that children learn through positive reinforcement and redirection. If a child sees that you are taking the time to help them, and that you truly believe in them than they will feel confident and through guidance ultimately succeed. I am very patient and I utilize repetition to make the child master the concepts. For example, if I am teaching a child how to read. I go through the first page with the student, breaking down each word phonetically. I sound out each word very slowly. I have the child sound out each word within the sentence after I have provided the correct phonetic sound. Then, I go back and have the child do all of the work by himself. So in essence, I lay the groundwork and have the child build on his or her own strengths gradually. I am patient, and I make the child realize that slow and steady wins the race. If you keep trying and practicing you will master the concept, and in this case learn how to read. I feel that being a teacher is most rewarding due to the fact that you get to witness firsthand a work in progress similar to a work of art. In the beginning you have to develop the trust of a child, once you have that your dedication and time shows that you believe in them, and as their TEACHER you can help them reach their highest potential
