I really try to analyze where students are lacking in their mathematical knowledge, then build on it.... I like...

...passionate about serving my peers and my community. Having fun and finding what motivates students is key to not only wanting to do the work, but also to retaining what they have learned. For example, during my time as a tutor for the Nashville public school system, one student and I had a particularly close connection. She flourished as a student, and in the end wrote a particularly entertaining rap song using the lessons she...

I believe in meetings learners where they are and finding where the frustration or struggle lie. Learning what needs to be studied and how removes the burden of having to know everything about every single subject. In a world full of instant access to information, learning how to find relative information and use it replaces pure memorization and repetition.

...as an adjunct professor teaching STEM to graduate teaching candidates and I am also a data analyst for a small business. I believe every student can learn and I strive to find relevant and real-world examples to teach concepts. My toolbox is full of teaching strategies with engaging lessons and hands-on manipulatives. My strengths are all K-6 academic subjects, math up through Algebra, remedial reading/math (Orton-Gillingham certified), educational technology, data analysis, and Microsoft/Google/iWork business applications.

...learning. More importantly, I strive to be a stable and supportive authority figure for youth who have, in the past, been let down. Currently, the achievement gap dictates that the quality of ones education is determined by their place of birth.

Therefore, a successful teacher will not only attain positive...

While it is important to learn, having fun while learning is also a large part of my philosophy as my...

...others began. I have always loved children and watching them grow. Nothing is better than watching a child have the "lightbulb" go off in their head.
