Experience Summary
As a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas at El Paso, holding a Bachelor of Arts, with a minor in English and American Literature, and with the teaching experience that I have gained in various fields since 2004, I feel that I am well-suited for this job.
I have taught Reading ESL at the Transmountain EPCC Campus, as well as French at L’Alliance Francaise d’El Paso, and Spanish/ESL/French at La Paz Language Academy. I will also be teaching a Spanish beginners’ course at the History Museum of El Paso, giving evening classes to staff and community members, once a week, during the Fall semester of 2012. I have also tutored high school and college students in Ethics and in Literature courses, and still do so quite often. These positions enable me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.
I am currently seeking Master in Reading Education at UTEP, and will be graduating in Spring of 2013. My passion for teaching has not stopped growing. I currently hold the PPR (Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities) EC-12, the EC-12 LOTE French certificate, as well as the BTLPT (Bilingual Teaching Language Proficiency Test Certification). I plan to shortly become certified in Spanish, ESL and Speech. My teaching positions and motivation allow me to teach every class in the local school system.
It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, and an innovative professor who will make a positive contribution.
Teaching Style
Flexible. I work with the student to meet expectations.
