TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I'm in my 8th year of teaching in a private school where I have taught 7th and 8th graders a variety of different sciences including astronomy, chemistry, physics, environmental science, water, and more.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to teach with different mediums and assess in different ways. My assessments are a mix of tests, projects, and written papers depending on the unit.
