Experience Summary
I have been drawn to teaching and working with youth for much of my life. Twenty Three years of varied teaching assignments have given me a wealth of education experiences to draw on. University years found me assisting in public elementary classrooms, The Braille Institute and as a camp counselor. My experience includes elementary classroom teacher and classrooms with Special Education and Special Needs students. Recently, I taught for three years at a hearing impaired school in West Africa. I currently hold a California Substitute Teacher Certificate.
Teaching Style
Teaching has been an important part of my life. I believe within a structured learning environment, it is possible to provide an open-ended approach to learning. Through my experiences teaching in a variety of environments to a variety of students, I have learned flexibility in learning and teaching modalities. Students learn in different ways and it is my responsibility as an educator to find the best approach for each child. Learning should be and can be fun. I want your child to find academic success, better study methods and greater critical thinking skills. My goal is to impart to my students, a passion for life-long learning.
