A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a dream job since you get to directly see the results of your work. You can watch your students improve in front of your eyes and this is a result of your motivational skills. The students do the work but you are the one who reaches their inner core to pull out their ability to achieve. For each student you must find what motivates them and press those buttons. My role is to get students to believe in themselves and then to guide them through the process of education. Positive reinforcement is the key to their success. Frequently they were never given that opportunity. I make them believe in themselves and make learning fun at the same time.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having been a teacher for the past seven years, I am very much aware of the challenges both students and educators face in finding effective teaching methods and resources. It depends on the subject and, more importantly, on the student's individual learning style. As a composition instructor at CSU, I emphasized clarity of expression, logical argumentation, and critical thinking. I considered it my mission to instill my students with the gravity of George Orwell's famous maxim: "If you cannot write well, you cannot think well, and if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you." Later, as an ESL teacher/trainer, I relied on the communicative approach to language acquisition, emphasizing realistic use of the target language and inductive learning rather than lecturing. Finally, I believe students learn best when they are interested in the topic and understand its rel ... read more
