About
Hi! My name is Amani Highsmith. I am from North Carolina. I have a passion for children. I love to see children grow because I believe every child has a purpose and is a blessing. I believe all childr... en are capable of following their dreams and growing in areas they may struggle in. My hobbies are to take nature walks, reading, painting drawing, and singing.
Tutoring is very interesting to me because I love to see children grow with learning new skills, being able to conduct creative methods to help children remember or figure out how solve a problem. I feel children find it interesting to conduct games or crafts to help pronounce words, spell words, and use words in a sentence. The excitement in a child's eyes when learning brings me joy.
I am unique due to being creative in different situations such as solving problems, creating a story, etc. Being creative allows me to include my ideas into what I am learning, teaching.read more
