Experience Summary
All throughout my High School & College experience, I was inspired by Ancient World History. In addition to competing as a collegiate athlete, I have also traveled to Europe twice on educational study abroad programs, which has enabled me to gain a much deeper understanding. My degree contains an emphasis in Language which means I spent considerable time translating Latin and Ancient Greek texts. During the past eight years I have tutored in academics, trained students for their sport and was employed as a summer Instructor in Jr. Lifeguard programs and Aquatic sports programs. I am applying as a Latin teacher but I am also able to teach beginning French, Social Science, World History, Languages Arts & Reading Comprehension.
Teaching Style
Teaching children has been a love of mine all my life. I had some difficulties learning certain things as a child, but through the use of tutoring I myself overcame this and went on to graduate college with one of the most difficult majors. I believe my own struggles with learning have instilled in me compassion, patience and a deeper understanding of how children think and what types of learning styles will best work. I am very positive, encouraging and easy going and a firm believer that all children can succeed academically if they are provided the proper approach to learning tailored to their own unique style. I love seeing that lightbulb go off and their understanding come into view.
