Experience Summary
I was the head teacher, program director, and tutor for the past five years at Springback Learning Center, Oakland, California. My responsibilities included tutoring math, reading, and writing for ages 5 to 18, curriculum preparation and evaluation, and teaching computer classes during the summer. I directed Springback Learning Center’s after-school tutoring programs under NCLB. I was also the program director and tutor at two different Oakland public schools this year.
From September 2002, through June 200, I was a part-time staff member at Cedarwood Sudbury School, ages 5 – 18,in Santa Clara, California.
I have taught Flash animation at Mills College’s Summer Arts Program for 10 - 12 year old children. Summer 2000 and 2002.
Teaching Style
I have a very positive attitude towards children and my PhD dissertation is focused on the consciousness of children. I have studied a great deal about how children learn through books and through first hand experience. I love children, and feel that I am an advocate for them in many ways. It is my intention to help find the best way to work with each child so that he/she benefits fully from the experience.
