Experience Summary
As a teaching assist in the engineering department at the University of Florida, I tutored freshmen and sophomores who were working toward acceptance into the engineer college. I was hired to prepare students in the Cayman's for their A1 exams in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. However, I believe my best qualification is that of a mother. My son is now graduating from university. He is a well-round, posed, and confident young man - the best thing I every accomplished. In volunteering at his schools, I have tutored reading, math and science in every grade 1-12, receiving an award or two along the way. I am a writer, artist and theater set designer. I am certified to teach 6-12 Math and Physics in the state of Florida.
Teaching Style
As a mother, tutor, school volunteer I have always enjoyed interacting with children and young people. I love to watch them learn and grow confidence in themselves. I also have taken many psychology classes and am very interested in how different people process and learn. As a tutor, I have always tried different styles depending on which one works. Younger children are more literal while older children and teens are more self aware and I find sometimes just their self image is what is holding them back (ie girls are bad in math). As a woman engineer, I have experienced this belief first hand and am living proof it is not the case. I believe everyone has greater potential than they are aware.
