Fun Facts
One passion people quickly learn about me is that I LOVE basketball! I have been playing basketball for 14 years now. Because basketball has taken up so much of my time since age 8, I was unable to participate in other sports but I must say I enjoy watching and discussing all sports. I enjoy dancing nearly just as much as basketball but I must admit that I am 100% more skilled on the court than I am on the dance floor.
About Me
I am a junior Secondary English Education major at Olivet Nazarene University, currently taking a semester off. I have been on the Dean's List my last two semesters at Olivet. I have also been a scholar-athlete for my years of college through basketball. My ultimate goal is to become a Middle-School or High School English teacher.
Experience
I have always had a passion for teaching so since early high school, I have taken every opportunity I can to help those around me in various academic areas. Because I am an English education major, I had the opportunity to work one-on-one with students through my practicum experience. Thankfully my cooperating teachers allowed me to be active within their classrooms. Working for Frog Tutoring gives me the opportunity to impact more lives of students before I have a classroom of my own.
Approach
Since early in grade school, I have ALWAYS admired my teachers. I began evaluating my teachers' styles and deciding which methods I would use if I were to have a classroom someday. One of the most valuable concepts I have learned through my practicum experience is differentiated instruction. I realize that students have different learning styles so I plan to utilize differentiation with my students I tutor.
