Experience Summary
The opportunity presented on your institutions website is very appealing to me, and I believe that I possess the desired qualifications that will allow me to be successful at your institution. Your posting stated that there is a requirement of a Masters degree in a related field; currently I possess a Master’s of Science in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin Madison. I also have related teaching experience at the University level. I was a Teaching Assistant in the Zoology department at the University of Wisconsin Madison and most recently was a Biology lecturer at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. In addition, I have nonacademic teaching experience functioning as a Tennis coach at MATC and Edgewood College.
Teaching Style
My philosophy towards education is guided by a strong desire to influence student learning and to compliment their knowledge of Biology with everyday application. I also understand the importance of motivating students in their desire to succeed academically and that in order to do this one must be able to relate to broad groups of individuals. I feel that having taught successfully at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater, with its diverse population of students has allowed me to demonstrate my teaching abilities and my success.
