I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Corporate Communication Studies. During my final semester as an undergraduate, I applied for Teach For America and was accepted as a 2014 Corps Member in the Rio Grande Valley. Part of my Teach For America Summer Institute required corps members to teach summer school at Houston ISD campuses, where I taught middle school math at Patrick Henry MS. I was hired by Harlingen HCISD for the 2014-2015 academic year at the Harlingen School of Health Professions as an Algebra I instructor. I will continue teaching at my campus for the 2015-2016 academic year. Project Based Learning (PBL), Small Group Instruction, Hands on Activities

I believe the first thing you need to do is to find out what the student needs help with. At times I have used music, poetry, or computer programs to get the students attention. Repetition is very helpful and note cards are good for memorization. Taking notes is a good way for the student to stay focused. A little comedy helps too to help students to remember. I enjoy helping students, adult or younger, feel the success of learning. Sometimes it is a struggle, but it is always fulfilling to see the relief and happiness they feel when they do succeed. My original degree was in English with a minor in Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 1979 in Secondary English/Spanish. I taught adult ESL part time for 2 years in the evenings.

I have earned two masters degree, MS in materials engineering and MA in secondary math education. And now I am a Ph.D student in math at university of Kentucky. During the last few years, I have built up a lot of teaching experence both as a high school teacher and as a teaching assistant at university of kentucky. the math subjects that I have taught or tutored get involved in a big range(e.g algegra, geometry, trig, precalculus,calculus, college algebra) Students deserve better math education and can do better with math. It is very important to teach students in their ways of thinking. I believe, with my teaching experience, math background and positive personalities, I will make a significant contribution on helping my students achieve higher math performance.

I use a wide variety of approaches to teach since different students grasp concepts in differ ways. This variety has helped me to adapt as the skill levels and backgrounds of my students changed. Some of the methods I have used include a combination of illustrations, hands-on models, presentations, the internet, and any other means that appeals to students. I have explained how the concepts being presented are utilized in cutting edge research laboratories or popular consumer products. Since attending college, I have been infatuated with teaching. To learn the best strategies for teaching chemistry to students, I took a course entitled, “Instructional Techniques in Chemistry,” and served as the sole laboratory instructor for two sections of general chemistry during my undergraduate studies. I have taught non-science major undergraduates, continuing education high school teachers,
