Hi! "Sarah, Sarah! When you're done leaving today, come back, okay?" the three year old called to me as I left. I love people, and I love the joy and fulfillment that can come from working with all ages; the differences in creativity, values, and passion that each person has to offer is truly awesome to behold. I've been volunteering and working with kids since I was 12 years old, babysitting since I was 13, staffing teenagers in leadership schools since I was 17, and privately tutoring a family of 4 for the past year. Making sure 3 boys and a preschooler are focused, encouraged, motivated, interested, and progressing in their studying have been my goals. I've directed plays for children and mixed ages, taught summer camps, instructed at a foundational art school, lead P.E. at a weekly kid's camp, and taught private voice lessons for 2 years. I'm familiar Read more with - using a pre-arranged curriculum - designing an original curriculum - setting students up for success, evaluating studying efficiency and making adjustments according to the students' needs - grading fairly - special needs in learning such as ADD, ADHD, and Dyslexia - creating a positive learning environment - communicating directly and indirectly with parents to maintain a common goal and interests - P.E. activities and playing games of all types - working with many different ages at once "Have you ever been angry once?" - 12 year old student "I wanted to see if you would be late but you're early!" - 7 year old student running out the door to greet me, also wielding his Thor Hammar that had just arrived in the mail that morning. "You always make me feel important, valuable, and noticed." - 17 year old student.
