Experience Summary
Beginning as a student working towards my TEFL certificate, I volunteered at Somali Adult Literacy Training and organization which teaches English to Somalis in the Twin Cities. I continued volunteering with the same organization for 3 years. I have worked with a variety of skill levels and taught students on my own. Additionally, I have completed a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at North Central University. My fields were Education and English, but I have taken Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, and several years of art classes. I also study Spanish for four years.
Teaching Style
The philosophy behind my teaching is to let the student guide their learning by relating information to their lives and interests so that it comes to life for them. Every student has the ability to do well if their learning is valuable to them. It is my goal to help students discover a passion for learning and work myself out of a job as they begin to take hold of their own education.
