PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE River City High School, Sacramento CA Algebra teacher 08/08/2005-12/18/2005 Teacher Assistant Math department UCDavis 09/30/2003 – 08/05/2005 TA for classes Calculus 16A, 16B, 16C and 21A, 21B, 21C (groups and individual consultations) About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving

As a tutor at my alma mater, I had the opportunity to work with students who learned at different speeds and who required different teaching techniques in order to grasp the material. Although patient and flexible by nature, this experience served to increase these traits, as well as to hone my communication skills. My aim as a tutor is to empower the students and heighten their confidence level. I believe that students should not just learn but also be able to analyze and explain what they are learning. Learning should be enlightening as well as enjoyable. While pursuing a bachelor's degree in Psychology at the College of Staten Island, CUNY, I worked as a tutor and mentor at the SEEK Department. The SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) Department provides counseling and tutoring services to freshmen who are educationally and financially disadvantaged. I tutored st

I have also been trained in SAT and ACT test preparation, so I am very familiar with grammar, reading comprehension and strong essay writing techniques. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored students ranging from Jr. High through college in all these areas.

Teaching and working with young individuals over the course of my education has been particularly memorable. I have taught and tutored a wide array of students from Ivy league bound seniors to 4 year olds with autism. I am very open-minded and love helping others to achieve their goals and strive for excellence. As a graduate of the University of Virginia, I was very dedicated to learning as much as possible. I double majored in Government and Sociology, yet was able to take numerous courses in other areas as well. After earning my undergraduate degree, I decided to pursue graduate school immediately. I was offered Graduate Teaching Assistantships at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. This experience was wonderful because I not only could learn in my master's level courses, but also introduce undergraduate students into the field that I was passionate about.

In public school, the key to teaching success is the ability to motivate students to try their best by learning as much about each individual student as possible and keeping their attention. One of my classroom rules for students is to participate in everything we do. I keep my students engaged for the full ninety minutes through varied activities and try to change activities every twenty minutes. My goal with each lesson is to provide students with multiple opportunities to learn concepts and use varied assessment tools each day. I have 13 years experience teaching high school and middle school math. I have had a fulfilling teaching career thus far. I currently teach at Providence High School in Matthews, North Carolina. My current subjects are Algebra 2 and A.P. Calculus. I have experience teaching levels 6-12 grades. My strengths are Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Calculus.

My teaching style has been to make learning fun and easy to remember. When I have taught I've been very interactive with the students and have gotten many compliments from students and patients as well, on my ability to communicate on almost any level. In Medical School, Residency and practice I have always been expected to be in the simultaneous role of student, teacher, mentor and tutor. I can say I have a vast amount of training and expereience in science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, as well as the liberal arts. I score as an ITSP on the Myers-Briggs evaluation which means I am not only concrete in speech and utilitarian in getting things done, I am also directive and attentive in teaching settings. I have done a small amount of teaching at the junior college level and am comfortable giving oral presentations to groups of people.
