I believe every child is unique in how they learn,connect, and retain concepts. Differentiated and small group instruction/ one on one instruction is critical in building a lifelong learner with a passion and drive to sustain the stamina throughout their lifetime.After graduating with honors from Texas Tech with a bachelors degree early childhood education, I was reassured that working with children is exactly what I want to do.I have taught for 10 years in two exemplary schools that grew from two commendable school districts, Katy I.S.D and Humble I.S.D. These schools have shaped me into the teacher that I have always aspired to become. I am wanting to fulfill my passion in this profession, while adapting to a flexible schedule for my first baby.

Hi, I'm a lecturer at Richland College. I have an MFA in Creative Writing and Pedagogy at Texas State University with a BA in English and Psychology at Texas Tech with over 9 years of teaching experience. I was in the military for 5 years and taught in South Korea for 6 years: 3 years teaching middle school, 1 year high school, and 2 years teaching adults. Moreover, I worked at the Texas State Writing Center as a teacher and tutor. I have experience and I'm qualified to teach all forms of writing, ELL, TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, and English literature. Fortunately, after many years of diligent writing, editing, and persistence, my poetry book was published by an American publisher.I'm a constructivist style teacher, adjusting to the needs of my students. I understand that each student has their own unique personalities so it's important to have a teaching structure but be willing to adjust to the personal learning style of each student.I had to have a tutor in math when I was in middle school so I know what it's like for students. With tutoring experience and a caring attitude, I can provide a good teacher to student connection for a better learning environment with patience, care, and genuine care for the student's learning process.My main strength as a tutor is my ability to assess a students' learning style and adjust my teaching style to suit their needs. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring is witnessing my students' growth, helping them build their skills, confidence, and knowing that I played a role in their success. Also, I enjoy and appreciate students for their own unique perception.I look forward to meeting and studying with you.

My favorite part of tutoring is what I call the light bulb moments. These are the moments when a topic makes sense to a student, and if we were in a cartoon, a light bulb would appear over their head. And this is usually the moment when students believe that I don't have more talent in the subject that them; I simply have more practice. I graduated with my Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry from Texas Tech University in 2011, and have tutored students in chemistry and math since 2002. In addition to tutoring, I have taught both as a TA and as an adjunct professor, at the University of Washington, Texas Tech, and the University of the Incarnate Word. I have taught chemistry labs (general, analytical, and nursing chemistry), general chemistry I and II, and first semester nursing chemistry. In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and walking. I am currently working on making my first bed size quilt and have completed the San Antonio Rock n Roll half marathon twice.

I am now pursuing my Bachelor's degree and have developed a robust skill set in design software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, InDesign, AutoCAD, Revit, and Rhino. During my studies, I became a go-to resource for my peers in AutoCAD and Rhino solutions. Through guiding others, I discovered that visual examples, mock-ups, and simulations are highly effective in problem-solving and enhancing design concept execution. To support my classmates, I created tutorial videos that provided them with ongoing reference material. This initiative not only strengthened their skills but also reinforced my own knowledge. In my final year at EPCC, I had the opportunity to work in a makerspace lab, gaining valuable experience in digital fabrication and 3D design. My role involved guiding users of varying experience levels and career backgrounds to successfully execute their projects. I organized small workshops and individual sessions, particularly focusing on laser cutting, 3D printing, 3D modeling, and graphical representation. I firmly believe that everyone has a unique vision and perspective. My goal is to help individuals achieve their creative aspirations in a way that can be appreciated by others. In my personal time, I enjoy exercising, boxing, playing basketball, listening to and making music, and exploring the nuances of coffee.

I finished my college education in 2001 by earning my Ph.D. in economics from Texas Tech University. I have been a college-level economics teacher beginning in 1992 and have been teaching economics students since then. Over the years, I have learned much more about the economics discipline itself, how economists do economics. Throughout my career, I have treated all my students as adults, respecting their ideas and opinions, having learned as much from them as they have learned from me. Believing all learning is initiated from a point of knowledge, I want to know where students are in their programs, what are their strengths and weaknesses especially. I help them leverage their strengths in addressing their weaknesses. This in the end makes for a more confident student, someone who not only believes they can accomplish that which they face on their own, but one who will overcome their challenges and will accomplish their goals. This approach is what I have taken over my lifetime in regards my own learning needs and as lifetime learner. I attest this approach to life has been enjoyably fruitful.
