Experience Summary
As a college graduate, I am looking for a career working with children. I am exploring various opportunities that will provide sufficient experience for me. I have earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education and I currently hold a teacher's certificate in Rhode Island. Growing up in a Portuguese culture, I have the ability to read, write, and speak at a moderate level. This gives me the ability to help Portuguese speaking students that might have trouble with the English language. In the spring of 2010, I had the opportunity to tutor a first grade boy with his reading and spelling skills. Since I have graduated college, I have substituted in various schools.
Teaching Style
I love to teach. Giving knowledge to students about things of this world excites me. I enjoy teaching students the skills in how to apply the knowledge they have learned into their lives wisely. To me, that is what education is all about. It’s about using knowledge to better one self, others, and eventually the world. Each student, regardless of culture, has the right to learn. My goal as a teacher is to teach each student according to his or her needs. Each student learns differently and a good teacher is someone who meets the needs of the students.
