...such challenges in healthcare solved. Diversity is what makes Los Angeles such a beautiful melting pot of cultures, and I am making an effort to appeal to these other cultures, specifically, the growing Spanish speaking community. I am currently a Spanish major on a pre-medicine track at Spelman College and I spent the fall 2013 semester in Madrid, Spain practicing the language and learning about the Spanish culture.

Prior to graduating, I was offered a contract to teach Social Studies for Norfolk Public Schools, and have enjoyed...

...7th grade science teacher made the subject more comprehensive and likeable. (I like it so much that I have my degree in it!).

Everyone should learn a second language. Learning a second language opens one up to a second culture, which leads to curiosity about even more cultures. We are all one, we should know or at least want to know about the world beyond our backyard. A worldly citizen is a responsible citizen. Come with me, and I'll help you navigate your way into another world.... Immersion and practicality are my teaching philosophies. The best way to learn is by talking about things that you do in everyday life. Immersing yourself in the language is key. The more you speak and do, the better you learn.

...is something truly amazing about spreading knowledge and curiosity. I am also a very empathetic person, so I take on my students' goals and struggles as my own. I commit to helping my students and I have the skills to do so. I have a natural aptitude for education, have studied and learned about the profession while earning my master's degree in teaching, and have many years of experience tutoring and teaching students.... I believe the most important attributes a teacher can have are empathy, determination, and flexibility. Empathy is vital because a teacher must see things from the students' perspective in order to guide them. A teacher must also possess determination because there are many obstacles to overcome. A teacher must be the driving force in the class that keeps everyone moving towards their objective, and by doing so demonstrates to the students that the way to succeed is by never giving up. Determination, however, must be paired with flexibility. No strategy will be right for every student. A teacher must be excited about finding the best way to serve each student based on their individual needs. A teacher must also be flexible in the face of those factors that are beyond his or her control, and find the way to do as much for the students as possible no matter the circumstances.

...profound impact that my teachers made on my life. If I hadn't had teachers in high school, college, and law school who were willing to spend their personal time mentoring and tutoring me, I would not have excelled to my current position. Therefore, I endeavor to give others the same one-on-one help that I received. Every student deserves a patient teacher who will help deepen and strengthen the student's understanding of his or her coursework.

...upper elementary grades. My personal interests are running half and full marathons and showing our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy in local dog shows. I like to travel whenever possible. When I was in the military, I was a Korean linguist, so learning new languages is an interest of mine. My students tell me that I am extremely patient and understanding, and I enjoy helping people understand concepts and developing a life-long love of learning.
