TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Student-focused, motivated educational professional with over 15+ years of teaching experience. Dedicated to shaping reflective, confident, and well-adjusted learners who think critically and creatively.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Audiovisual teaching methods effectively engage different parts of the brain simultaneously. Through listening and seeing, the student will achieve higher retention rates. But this method must be mixed with others for maximum student learning. Demonstration is also effective. It is one thing to tell students about a lesson. It is entirely something better to actually demonstrate the principles of subject matter. Discussion is advantageous. But if students demonstrate what they learn their retention rate will improve regarding discussions and subject matter. Practicing really works. When a student physically engages with the subject matter s/he usually gains a respectable retention rate.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I decided to enter the field of education because of my own personal experience with teachers. Quality teachers were my solution to setbacks I experienced growing up. My teachers were my support. When I felt isolated, they were my allies. They instilled in me the lifelong value that education is the means to developing one’s full potential, despite hardship. And they showed me educational passion and innate care as being inseparable from one’s own identity. Care is the required commitment to do whatever it takes to bring forth students’ knowledge, skills, and wisdom. As my teachers believed in me, I believe that each and every one of my students has the capability to develop to his/her full potential. As an educator I inspire students to face challenges and develop themselves to the very best of their abilities. My hands-on teaching experience emerged valuable knowledge concerning designs and implementations of lesson plans and activities. And I am fortunate enough to pass this knowledge and information on to my colleagues to help them refine their instructional strategies.
