Experience Summary
I recently graduated cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with two Bachelors of Science in Marine Geology and Maritime Law. I teach sailing and environmental education in the summers.
This means very little however as I aspire, one day, to become a lighthouse keeper. Sadly, few can find such a position these days.
I enjoy writing, science, mathematics, literature and most all music.
Teaching Style
When I taught sailing to young kids, I used to dress up like a pirate. I have lots of energy. I know I'm doing my job right when kids start laughing.
When I taught to teenagers, I kept in mind my own experiences at that age.
If I'm helping a student study hard on that big, important test that might have the ability to crush the student's soul - I bust out my acoustic guitar and sing about how It's The End of The World As We Know It (And This Test Means Very Little In The Long Run).
