I earned a B.S. in biology with minors in geology and government at U.T. Edinburg. I returned to college and got teaching certificates in middle school life-earth science, high school biology and language-learning disabilities. Finally I earned an A.A. in physical therapy. I graduated with honors in all my degrees. I taught life-earth science and special education. In summer months I taught at risk students who were trying to get into college. Later I performed physical therapy on school kids.
To finance my physical therapy education, I obtained an SBA loan and opened a tutoring center. Most of my clients were elementary or junior high students, but I did tutor an R.N. who needed to pass introduction to statistics for her career. The most frequent subject I tutored was math which was my favorite. Though math concepts are simple many students are intimidated by them. Students that have struggled with a concept need to bolster their confidence before mastering it. Teaching one to one or in small groups allows me to craft my lessons to match each students learning style.
On my time off I attend science lectures at local colleges and started a science meet up group. I also enjoy working out at the gym.
