TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have worked with a number of grades, between the regular school year and summer school, including 6th - 12th grade. I originally started with an elementary background, and so I have some elementary materials as well. For the past few years, I moved up to higher education, teaching at a community college.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I think that discussion and writing are the way students learn. I feel the more they write they better they write, and the more they hear from their peers and contribute themselves, the better their understanding.
