Teaching Style
I have worked with youth in educational settings for 10 years. My experience is in outside of school time, so my methods are unique. I am a fan of hands on learning and strive to make every educational experience unique for the intended audience.
I am certified in Advanced Youth Development Principles through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee where I have been employed for the past two years. Through this certification I have gained knowledge of developmental stages of youth and how to apply that to educational techniques and communication strategies.
I love working with youth. I like to keep a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere around learning because I believe that the more fun it is, the better it will “stick”.
