Experience Summary
° Taught high school mathematics--algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry, along with art (drawing and painting) for four years
° Tutored students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, along with college students for at least 15 years
° Curriculum coordinator at former job, I know the content very well
° Tutored students (9th, 10th, Exit Level, and Exit Level resitters) in math camps when they were preparing for the TAKS test in ,
Teaching Style
° I observe students' learning styles, and use that information to teach/tutor
° I teach process help students give reasons "why", to make content make sense
° My background/minor in studio art gives me a different perspective and helps me think and problem-solve creatively, thus encouraging my students to do the same
° My goal is to build students' confidence, so that after a while they'll learn to trust their new study skills, and they end up no longer needing to depend on so much
