Experience
I graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Science in Education, where I focused on elementary and special education. Afterwards, I attended graduate school at the University of South Florida and received my master's degree in teaching. I've had the privilege of being a certified teacher for more than 15 years, where I've worked to help even the most challenging student become a top academic performer. My experience has taught me that there's no such thing as a bad pupil, but rather individuals who aren't being engaged in a way that works best with their learning style. Along with holding classroom lessons, I've also had one-on-one sessions where I've been able to work directly with students and come up with learning strategies that help them build upon their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. For me, the best part of being a teacher is knowing that you've got the power to make a difference in someone's life by helping them understand their true potential. I also believe that the best way to connect with your students is to find ways to teach material that they can relate to. When people start to see how education can help them in the real world, they tend to work harder to achieve greater things.
