TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have over 4 years of classroom experience in a combined Middle School & High School setting. Within this time frame, I have taught a variety of courses at both the college preparatory and honors levels: World History, Geography, Personal Finance, American Government and World Religions.

MY TEACHING STYLE

As a teacher, my personal philosophy has always been to foster a community environment within my classroom. My goal is to help my students foster a lifelong love of learning through dynamic lessons that engage them in a variety of topics and elevate their critical thinking and questioning skills. Most of my lessons are student-centered and ask my students to apply their knowledge and what they have learned in the classroom to high level or real world problems.
