...during the school year, outside during a summer camp, or on the playground in an after school program, I've always coupled an ability to teach concepts effectively with a sense of joy and genuine fun. Teaching doesn't have to be dry and boring, and enthusiasm to learn is contagious if channeled in the right way. As an educator, I strive to make connections with students in order to set goals and achieve them.

Additionally, learning...

...my experience working with students. I worked in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups of students.
