First, I analyze my students to determine their learning style. Based on that, I customize my lessons to fit each individual student's needs. I commonly use visual tools such as colorful drawings and try to connect the material to real world situations. I majored in Biochemistry and Pharmacology at the UNAM in Mexico City. Along with extensive coursework in Biology, Micro Biology, Chemistry, and related subjects, I also worked extensively in the lab conducting experiments connected with these subject areas. I can also tutor Spanish since it is my native language. I have great references from students I am currently working with.

I have worked within schools for the past six years. I also completed two student teaching requirements for my state certification. I have worked in schools both in Pennsylvania and in Florida in a volunteer capacity within the classroom. I have worked both with groups of students on projects, as well as with individuals who required more personalized instruction to meet their needs. I believe in using all the resources available in order to be an effective teacher. Each student is individual and requires a different approach to learning. I believe it is imperative to address all the learing styles of your students. The key to teaching is the ability to interpret your students and tailor your teaching style to meet their needs.

The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired through my years as a merchant mariner will help me reach my full potential as an educator. My qualifications include but are not limited to a United States Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, Condominium President of a one hundred and sixty unit beach side complex in Cape Canaveral Florida, and a coach of a sixth through tenth grade hockey team. The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other than

I enjoy helping people, particularly kids. It's a very good feeling to help kids understand so many of the concepts in science, math and computers that tend to stump them. I am an easy going and focused individual. I generally teach kids by relating the subject to something they are interested in. There is a very good example of this in the movie "Big", where Tom Hanks character is teaching algebra to a boy who likes basketball. This is a technique that I use frequently. I believe very strongly that kids need to understand the concepts underlying each problem so they can solve it through understanding and not just rote memorization. I have BS degrees in both Physics and Nuclear Medicine. I was formerly a certified nuclear medicine technologist. I have worked as an engineer in the NASA community for much of my life and have a strong background in computers and software engineering

I have been driven to achieve the highest possible level of success in education, as indicated by my BS and MS degree in corporate training material covering all aspects of engineering. I applied this material in training a wide range of personnel. I also spent significant time writing and leading government proposals which require expert english and math skills. I look forward to expanding your child's capability to the fullest degree possible and to a positive and useful relationship with your child as well as you. And I look forward to meeting with you and devloping a special relationship with you with the goal of meeting all your expectations for your child. Throughout my professional career, I have enjoyed teaching and mentoring young engineers and other workers in advanced technologies. I believe now that it is time I gave back to other young students and, in particular, to you

I have had some very patient and supportive teachers and mentors throughout my education, which extended well into my adulthood. As a result, I tend to be very compassionate, understanding, and supportive of the students that I have taught and mentored. I tend to be thorough, provide a constructive learning environment, and motivate students to succeed. I am most proud to have had the experience of getting my lowest acheiving students to become some of the highest achievers and proudest students by the end of the school year. I tend to be able to motivate both the best and poorer performing students to be able to succeed by setting goals and achieving them. I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach students to excel at several different levels during my career as a research scientist. As a graduate student, I tutored and mentored students in the local middle school science research clas

I have always loved working with children and seeing the ways that they can grow. I feel that each child has his/her own learning style and that the teacher needs to work around each learning style. I believe that positive reinforcement should always be given. I enjoy working with students in small groups or one-on-one. I hope that I can find a way to make each child succeed. I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2006 with a BS in elementary education and a minor in Reading. During the 2006-2007 school year, I worked as a daily substitute and gained experience in all grade levels. Throughout the 2007-2008 school year, I worked as a long term substitute in a fifth grade classroom. I had the opportunity to teach all subjects to my class. While working at this school, I tutored a small group of students to prepare them for the PSSA (Pennsylvania's state assessment). During the beginni
