My personal statement is that I should be teaching students tools to learn, not just facts. How we learn is just as important as WHAT we learn.... My teaching philosophy has always been to meet a students needs. Teaching according to HOW they learn.... I typically build a positive rapport with my students.

This allows me to "put up and take down" as needed and yet still provide support.

...Master of Arts in teaching secondary science. I have been teaching for 3 years in a traditional classroom and also have experience as an outdoors educator.

...Washington in Seattle. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Comprehensive Physics. Throughout my physics degree I have obtained an extensive knowledge of high level math and statistics. I joined several study groups and learned the importance of teaching my fellow students in order to gain a more concrete understanding of the material myself.
