I have been an elementary teacher for over 30 years. I have taught grades preschool to six and I have taught education courses at the college level to train primary teachers. I have tutored in reading and math as well as acted as a mentor for college students. I believe that the best way to learn is to understand the student’s learning style and to design lessons that will build upon that learning style. Hands-on activities allow elementary-aged students to understand new concepts before applyin.
