My classes are by no means easy, I prepare my students for life, even if that means having students leave my class with “their head hurting” because they had to think too much. I believe my ultimate philosophy has been that learning should hurt a little bit. If the classroom environment is not provocative, controversial, and challenging, I think the teacher has fallen short of his or her task. On the other hand, I am not afraid of being down-to-earth, funny, or look unusual if I have to do so. I have extensive work experience and knowledge in the areas of Adult Education and Literacy, teaching English as a Second Language, Math and Science. I would like to share my enthusiasm for these subjects, and education in general. My teaching experiences in Adult Education and Literacy at Northside ISD, San Antonio Texas have allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. During my te

I am very knowledgable in most biological sciences, and have loved doing the work that it takes to make good grades in each of them. I have had the pleasure of helping many students reach the same success, and look forward to doing so for others. Professionally, I have worked with children with and without disabilities to give them the skills needed to become better learners-and have tutored both high school aged children and college students. Let me know what doesn't work for you, and I will definitely adapt to what might work.

I tend to be really flexible and try to adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. For students who tend to be more tactile, I might have them handle apples if a math problem references apples. If a student is working on a writing assignment, I will offer suggestions (such as marking spelling/grammar/punction mistakes) and help them learn how to correct the errors so they won't continue to make the same errors in the future.

I am certified by the State of Texas to teach all sciences at the high school level. I have worked in a wide variety of socioeconomic school settings, which makes me quite versatile when it comes to my approach to teaching. I start from the ground-up, first forming a cognitive scaffold for a subject by teaching the very basics. From there we branch off into more and more complex tasks. I have experience with graphic design and animation programs and love to use technology aids whenever possible. When all else fails I draw upon knowledge the student already possesses and attempt to form analogous models that are easier to understand. I have had experience in the classroom teaching the three major sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology) at the high school level and also did an apprenticeship as part of a graduate program for UT Health Science Center at San Antonio.

I hold a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelors in Molecular Biology. My teaching certification is EC-6 and just added ESL certified. I believe all children learn at there own style and pace and that we as teachers need to find what works for the child and help them build on their strengths in a positive way. I am a certified teacher and have been teaching for 8 years in elementary school. I began my teaching career by accident leaving the law enforcement field to work initially part-time as a teacher. However I really enjoyed working with children and found that I was good at it. Over the years it has been nice to hear both parents, teachers, and children comment that I have made a difference in their lives and that I have helped make them the young people that they are shaping to be. Many children and parents have said that while I was tough I have helped them stay in school and bec

I have taught students of all learning levels Science grades 6-12, for 14+ years in the Texas Public Schools. I have taught ESL students, as well, for I am bilingual:reading, writing and speaking. I have more experience with the middle school student, than the high school student, but am quite capable of teaching either. I have been an Item Writer for Oakhills Technologies, Inc. in Austin, Tx--writing questions for the TeXES test for Science Teacher Certification. I have sat on the State Board of Education Textbook Committee-review board for 6th grade Science. I am presently contracted to Pearson Vue as a Scorer for 10th grade Mathmatics. I am a hands on teacher. Most of the students I have taught, have not reached the analysis state of learning. This has always been my goal, to teach the student to think for his or her self.

Working with kids is my fascination. I believe that teaching children should not be standing up and lecturing or simply explaining something. Its about getting to know the students, making the students feel important and unique in their own special way and most importantly I believe a teacher should be a role model. The teacher must adjust his or her teaching approach to the way the student will learn what’s being taught to them not the other way around. Everything should be done in the interest of the children and their academic success. All students are different and they all have different learning styles. It is the teacher’s duty to find out what leaning style the student holds and target that teaching approach. Working hard and always driven is how I was able to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Bilingual 4th – 8th grade. Sul Ross State

Whether it is in front of a class of 40 or one-on-one, I have been endowed not only with the talent to teach, but also with the God-given ability to motivate. Most students hate my guts for the first week or two because I do not tolerate underachievement from anyone, including parents; but down the line the most frequent evaluation I receive is, “Mr. C, you are awesome.” There is no one who cannot be motivated to learn something well; and I always associate what must be learned with what a student's passion is or in what he/she is already interested. My students do not just learn the subject I teach. They learn how to learn and think "out of the box" and how to become a success. My teaching credentials are in English and education. However... At the middle school level and high school level, I have taught/tutored English composition, geography, history, soci

My emphasis is class discussion. I engage students to participate in class and in small group projects. I offer one on one tutoring outside of class I orchestrate mentoring to enable those who have a command of the material to offer support to those who may need additonal guidance outside of class. My role is to share my knowledge and always be willing to learn new teaching strategies. I work well with peers to improve teaching techniques and share ideas. As a professor at DeVry University I offered tutoring to my students on weekends for those who did not have a background in life sciences.As a part time professor at Everest College Medical Assisting Program I taught back office skills, physiology, medical ethics and medical termiology. The class memebers often required additional instruction outside of class which I was glad to offer during my office hours. As a part time professor
