Experience Summary
My scholarly and practical experience is in Marine Biology and Chemistry. I have experience teaching adults, children, and adolescents in various settings from in a swimming pool, at animal exhibits, to in the classroom. For the past two years I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge of Science and Math with my students and motivating them to explore the various facets of the vast field of Science.
Teaching Style
My experience teaching children started in the water. That is a difficult place to start as many children fear the water. I quickly learned that individual students learn in different ways and at different paces.
After studying Marine Biology in an academic setting I finally became able to share my passion for science and knowledge for math with students in a way that enabled me to not only share knowledge, but motivate students to become passionate about the subjects I find so interesting. I've been a professional full time Middle School Science teacher for two years and look forward to continue sharing my experiences and knowledge with students in various settings. As I've learned through hands-on experience as well as through formal training, patience and positive reinforcement are the best ways to get results and help children succeed in any area. Combine those two qualities in a teacher, and the child is bound to succeed.
