Experience Summary
During the course of my studies in Biomedical Engineering, I have gained extensive academic knowledge in Math, Biology, and Chemistry, as well as achieve excellent oral and written communication skills. I have been able to guide college students in attaining academic success by tutoring them in various subjects such as English, Thermodynamics, and Organic Chemistry. I have also had the significant opportunity to substitute teach for Broward County Public Schools for the past 1 1/2 years in various settings ranging from Pre-K to 12th Grade. My life experiences have also allotted me the opportunity to teach non-academic subjects such as Music Education, Musical Theatre, and Dance. One of the favorite areas to apply the skills I have acquired is in Technical Report Writing, Essays, and Research Papers.
Teaching Style
I believe the keys to teaching any student, young or old, are patience and encouragement. I find that when I demonstrate a pleasant, usually fun, and encouraging environment for my students, they tend to thrive. There has not been a more fulfilling experience for me than to effectively teach a child something that they did not initially have the confidence to learn. My goal is to not only teach them the required material, but to also introduce a learning experience that positively impacts their self-perception. If they believe they can learn anything, they will ultimately thrive in other experiences that require self-confidence, patience, and leadership. The bottom line is that I love to teach, because very few experiences grant me this opportunity.
