It is exciting to watch the students understand the message that I am trying to portray. If the first attempt to explain something to a student is unsuccessful, then I will explain it in different ways until the student u

I graduated from the University of Iowa on May 15, 2010 with a BA in Elementary Education and a reading endorsement. Apart from my area of specialization, reading, I also took seven science courses at the University of Iowa, mainly in chemistry. My volunteer experiences have shaped the person who I am today, as I have completed over one hundred hours of volunteer work in schools and hospitals. Approximately thirty of those hours were spent one-on-one with first graders, helping them on math and reading skills and strategies. Furthermore, I completed my student teaching experience in a 5th grade classroom, in which I taught math, reading, spelling, vocabulary, writing, and science. My teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and welcoming learning environment for my students, in which they feel equal and confident as learners.

My major interest and most of the works were in research field, that helped me in explaining the theory of a subject in a practical way. I earned my Master's in Nano Medical Technology and Bachelor's in Biotechnology and Biochemical Technology. I gained research level knowledge in math and science that has been one of the major credential in both Master's and Bachelor's degree. I have considerable experience in writing research papers, lab manuals/reports and taking presentations. I carried out private tutoring for students of all age groups in both theory and lab practices. For past two years I have tutored students in math, biology, chemistry and physics. I have trained students to think, analyse independently by making them practice more and gradually increasing their expertise to solve the most complex problems.

My goal is to teach a student. This includes presenting material in a way he or she can assimilate it. If the student does not understand the information I present, then I try my best to show him or her practical, real life examples of how to accomplish the task at hand. As a graduate of Sacred Heart Classical Center, I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II since I left the school in the Spring 2009. During that time, I have taught and tutored every type of student from the high achieving to the equally achieving, yet learning disabled, student.

I love watching and learning from children. I believe that learning is closely related to confidence. I like to take the time to get to know children and understand what they like so that I can better understand how their brain works and how they process information. In understanding what they like, this gives me the ability to let them show me something new. The best way that I retained information in college was to teach someone else what I was studying. As the children learn the new information, I like to have them show me the new information the same way they did their hobby or interest. I graduated from UW-Stevens Point with a degree in a Communication and a passion for enriching the youth in our community. Throughout my educational career I was always involved with a youth organization as either a Big Sister, basketball coach or a junior achievement volunteer. A full summer
