Experience Summary
I'm a teacher aide, currently working my third year as an instructional ENL assistant at Shelbyville High School.
I provide tutoring help in English and Spanish assisting with homework in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Spanish, ENL-English for students who first language is not English, (Comprehension, and Reading & Writing) to Elementary, Middle, and High school students. (I got a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineer in Colombia.)
I feel confortable working with Hispanic students, and adults, too. I also supported a tutoring program after school at an Elementary School in the town, in which I worked a voluntary job as a math tutor.
I obtained my Civil Engineer degree from Corporación Universitaria de la Costa C.U.C in Colombia, South America .I speak fluent Spanish, Intermediate English level. (Conversational limited: 75 %, but working to improve), and I became a naturalized American Citizen.
Teaching Style
As an engineer, I love math, and I love tutoring math. Every student has a different way of learning, and I try to find the best way for every one, playing and learning, real problems applied, flash cards, drawings, etc. I truly believe every body can learn, understand and become to love math in the way that I do. I may encourage few of them in become an Engineer, too, and help to improve this country.
I'm willing to tutor students after school hours during the whole school year, on holydays, weekends, summer, or spring times.
I also can practice students for the Istep test, Core 40 exam, in Algebra I, Geometry, and algebra II.
