Fun Facts
Some fun facts about me is that as a para although I'm no Picasso I love to draw and remake pictures. Every year I'm the birthday crown/hat person to come to. Whoever birthday it is, on that specific day or prior they can ask me for a birthday hat. So I'll ask them to tell me whatever they like and I'll try to make a hat to they're liking.
About Me
Hi my name is Melissa Williams and I'm 23. Some things about me is that I just graduated college with a bachelors degree. I love to read books on things that have meaning. I just finish reading a book called " The Girl Who Fell from The Sky", I picked it up from the best seller section spontaneously.
I love to watch detective shows on solving murders or action movies. Right now I'm a paraprofessional, for the Department of Education. Hopefully I'm able to get a masters to pursue being a teacher.
I use to brooklyn">tutor after school a child the age of 5. For an hour three days a week we would read and I would help her with just that. Also helping her count her numbers, an example would be counting from 1-100. Her problem would be she can do it but is not focus or does not want to do it for the teacher. My technique was to use a pointer and switch it back and forth from me to her in a playful way while counting. It actually worked and also improvement showed on her class. This was my first child brooklyn">tutoring in an in home environment. However, I do have a lot of experience in a classroom. I've had many one-one, helping students improve they're reading skills. Helping them with math in ways to using new strategies whether it's equations, or a number line.
I believe that I have the ability to use what I do on a everyday basis in a classroom to an in home environment. With the help of coworkers I believe I can set up a book plan that can also help with whatever grade level I brooklyn">tutor especially in the elementary area. I'm also very prone to learning new things, I'm a risk taker in that I'm able to adapt to different environments efficiently.
Strategies like what I learn at school, creating a book plan that I can refer to with each child I go too. Also knowledge and my own way of teaching can be helpful as well.
