I have over 3 years of teaching experience for both elementary and high school levels in Science, English, Geography, and Social Studies. My work as a teacher has taught me to never settle for par in my students' achievements or in my teaching. I revel in being able to help someone solve their problems, and in helping them set, accomplish, and surpass their goals and expectations. When working with youth, it is of utmost importance to understand their point of view on any matter. As a teacher I have learned that once a youth’s point of view is given weight, and is involved in the formulation of a lesson or activity, their understanding of and connection with the content will greatly improve.
