Experience Summary
So far, I have gained insight into the inquisitive and intellectual critique of humanity in studying anthropology at the undergraduate level. My studies opened me to living as well as working abroad, excavating archaeological sites in Chile to teaching PE and history in Honduras. I tutored students ages 7-53 in subjects such as English as a second language, history, cultural anthropology, and Spanish. Teaching in Honduras culminated my tutoring experiences in a formalized, calendar based lesson planning. I had dabbled in tutoring with different organizations like Oak Street Study Buddy in Plattsburgh, NY as well as RAICES, s Spanish language learning club at college. I tutored university students while teaching in Honduras.
Teaching Style
I am a firm believer in demanding excellence from my students. Also, without a goal one cannot achieve anything; therefore we set challenging goals, and utilize every resource in our capacity to achieve those goals.
To take the student on the most challenging course as an educator sometimes we must take the course with them. Rather than teach to the student, we immerse ourselves into the lesson as a learner and play the inquisitive intellectual, prodding ideas and eagerness from our students. We as educators cease not to be students, and when we succeed in educating our students we are rewarded with playing the role of student and listening and learning from the student-generated inquiry..
