While pursuing my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, I volunteered my time at the Boys and Girls Club of America and tutored students of all ages in reading, math, science, and social studies. I am currently completing an alternative certification program for Texas teacher certification, and I am highly qualified to teach early childhood to sixth grade. Every child can learn, it just takes a good teacher to help make that happen. A teacher must assess each student for their learning style, ability, and readiness. I want to get to know my students so that I can better understand what motivates them to succeed and develop positive relationships. I care about all students and want to make a difference.

As a engineer I have been training operators in everything form SPC to troubleshooting for 30 years. I am a volunteer tutor for Adult ESL & GED for the Literacy Council of Williamson County since June 2009. I have worked with adults. I prefer a one on one direct instruction and mentoring, keeping everything simple and fun. I am not sure how well I would be with children; I have none of my own and have not spent much time with my nephews and nieces. I have worked with a few of my friends children, helping them understand algebra, showing them how simple it really is and how it can be fun.

I believe in helping the students discover their own answers. Through patient discussion and problem solving the students will better understand the subject matter. It is important to take the time and listen to their problems so as to best understand how to achieve a solution. At times learning disabilities or other problems can require creativity in reaching the student. Through my years of working with teenagers I can achieve that creativity. I am a comfortable and relaxed person. I love working with students and helping them achieve academic success. Nothing is better for me than seeing a struggling student find new and exciting success. I graduated in 2004 from the University of Oklahoma with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I regularly helped my fellow students survive the academic rigors of Business School. In 2009 I graduated from Texas Christian University with

I love to teach and enjoy teaching English as well. I am very good at grammar and all areas of the English language. In my work as a writer, I make extensive use of this. I try to be very patient, and I have worked a great deal with special needs students. I have also worked with ESL and GED students in addition to high school and middle school students, but I have experience with all ages. I enjoy helping someone learn and advancing to the next level. I believe in taking things slow and then gradually working our way up to the next level of learning. I try to really make a difference in my students' lives and help them to grow. I have been a substitute teacher for the last 7 years at Groesbeck ISD working mainly with the high school area, and some at the middle school.

I am a Ph.D. Bioanalytical Chemist from Texas A&M University with additional post-doctoral training in a Biochemistry lab. In addition, I have two Bachelor degrees, a B.A. in Chemistry and a B.A. in Spanish. I have extensive teaching experience at the undergraduate, high school, and junior high school levels in Spanish, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. I enjoy teaching young adults and children, and overall, I believe in making the process fun and painless. The greatest joy in educating students is when they realize their success and start enjoying the subject matter at hand. I mentor and educate students scholastically to achieve their academic and personal goals in life. It is important for me to educate students in this manner and allow them to be creative in their learning process as well to imagine how their education may be applied to their careers in the fut

My passion is teaching. I love it when a student's lightbulb goes off and everything fits in place. That moment of discovery excites me as much as it does the student. Consistant praise produces positive results. My goal in life is to instill in my students the desire to become lifetime learners. Besides having eleven years of teaching experience in the classroom, I have seven years of one-on-one tutoring experience with students in grades K-12. I created and managed an alternative program for a school district and developed all the curriculum for grades K-12. High school students were taught skills to prepare them to take the GED. My specialties include math and language arts courses.

While in college (1988-1994), I worked as a grader in the math department, with a goal of providing useful feedback to the students. I also began working as a tutor at Austin Community College (ACC) in their free learning labs at this time. I have worked at ACC for about 10 years, tutoring math classes from basic math through calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, discrete math and probability. I also tutor physics, chemistry, statistics and writing. I have done some classroom teaching of the lower level math classes, but, as I do not have a master's degree, I cannot, by law, formally teach the upper level classes, though I would like to, and though I have been used as a substitute teacher on occasion for these classes. My goal when working with students is to fully describe the steps necessary to solving various classes of problems, often in an outline form, for it is

I adhere to Gardener's Multiple Intelligences, which states that each student possesses certain intelligences and that using a students' strengths improves their achievement. Each student has individual needs, that when nurtured, will allow the student to realize his potential. Students learn differently in different environments, and as an educator, I believe a student learns best when in a comfortable environment, especially with new or challenging material. Most importantly, it is my goal to help students become individual learners and thinkers, to teach them not only content but how to help themselves as well. As a teacher, I had high expectations for all my students, and they reached them when we set manageable goals. As a graduate of Southwestern University with a Bachelor in English and Communications, I was drawn to the field of education. I come from a family of teachers. Aft
