TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Middle School Science Teacher Science Department Head K-12 Tutor Family Literacy Program Designer & Lead Instructor GED Tutor Computer Literacy Trainer Basketball Coach

MY TEACHING STYLE

My goal is always to develop a love and habit of learning in children, no matter the age. I have a true passion for the teachings of science, and use its philosophies and thought processes no matter the subject I am working with. I aim to push my students past simple, multiple-choice, state-standards based learning and work towards true understanding manifested in the ability to re-teach material and skills to others; to develop more teachers, in a sense.
