Currently, I am a Department Facilitator in Fort Bend ISD where I've also been fortunate to assist my campus with recruiting, retaining educators, and technology innovation and training staff for my campus. I'm an enthusiastic, driven leader who has a knack for offering additional skill, and awareness, to an environment, where others are willfully prepared and driven to learn.My zeal for effectiveness happens not only within the classroom setting, but in the school and business community as well.
As an experienced educator with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University, with teaching certifications in ELA from Early Childhood to HS, I have dedicated over ten years to teaching and tutoring English Language Arts, including ACT preparation and reading intervention for middle and high school students. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, as I believe that trust and understanding are foundational to effective learning. I strive to make lessons engaging by connecting literary concepts to real-life experiences, equipping students with not only academic skills but also essential life skills such as organization and goal-setting. My passion for literature and art enriches my teaching approach, allowing me to inspire students to discover their own interests in these subjects. I am excited about the opportunity to help students achieve their goals and foster a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
Learning is a habit. I grew up hearing that daily and it gradually sunk in as I progressed in school. I always enjoyed figuring out how things worked and why things happened, as my curiosity knew no bounds. As I matured, I discovered how to channel this curiosity into more productive avenues by working in study groups, helping friends answer their own questions which were usually quite similar this mine, This helped develop my confidence in teaching others through college, summer camps and medical school. I love working with different age groups as they all bring unique learning opportunities.My degrees have given me the skills to cover a wide range of subjects in the sciences and medicine, and to value each person I come across. My aim is to give my students a personalised learning experience composed of great learning opportunities and experiences so they can stay engaged, motivated and prepared for not just their classes but for life in general. Mentoring students as they learn is also crucial to the mental aspect of their growth. I also ensure that clear, practical objectives are given so students can stay focused on tasks and are able to take responsibility for their own future. In addition to this, I use different learning styles visual, verbal, discussions and review sessions as students have different learning styles. Teaching really is a privilege.
I'm a native Houstonian and received my BS from Sam Houston State University and my MPSA from Texas A&M Bush School of Government and Public Service. My mother was my first and most important teacher. I was home schooled until high-school and I'm sure I was not always the easiest student to teach. However, she never gave up on me and without her guidance and dedication I would never have succeeded in my high-school years and later when pursuing my higher-education. I've always been passionate about education and love the moment when students begin to ask questions or finally master a concept. I currently work for an education non-profit that focuses on college persistence with high-school students. I believe that all students have their own unique potential and passion to learn. It is important to tap into each individual students talent, help them excel, and make sure every student has the tools and opportunity to succeed at their goals.
I believe all students, regardless of age or ability, should be "met where they are" and treated with respect.Goals, both big and small, must be set. Victories, regardless of size, must be celebrated. Only then can true learning occur.If I am working with a college level Writing student, it is important to me that they gain the skills they need. Like all true teachers, my goal is to get you to be able to do it without me.The same is true if I am working with an elementary student on Math skills.
As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in History from Sam Houston State University, I have over 2 years of experience in tutoring subjects such as AP US History, AP World History, and Creative Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and develop critical thinking skills. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their individual learning styles and interests, ensuring that they not only grasp the material but also find joy in the learning process. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading historical fiction and exploring new cultures, which further enriches my teaching and allows me to share diverse perspectives with my students.
I've been speaking German for 8 years now. Originally I took German over Spanish because my brother did and he spoke German to me to irritate me. I took German to understand him and be able to speak back. Now it's 8 years later and I'm working on a degree in Linguistics and speak German, Spanish and French.I originally was approached by my German professor in our first semester to tutor at my university, but was unable to at the time. I consistently try to explain German/French/Spanish concepts to my friends and they have gotten tired of it. In my German class, I help people with concepts they don't understand when they don't want to go to the tutor.
Former high school teacher. Current English instructional coach. Part-time college instructor. After graduating college, I avoided my destiny and decided to go into the corporate world. After two years, I knew I could no longer outrun my fate; I accepted my first teaching position, and I have never looked back. I taught English I, II, and AP Literature and Composition during my tenure as a teacher. A few years ago, I was given the opportunity to leave the classroom and work with teachers. I work with our 26 high school English teachers to design and execute engaging curriculum for students. However, after a few years, I missed having my "own" students. I decided to put my Master's degree to use, and I began teaching Intro to Composition at my local community college. With my varied background, I am able to help students of all experience levels improve their writing skills and become effective communicators. I look forward to working with you.
I am a registered nurse in Central Texas with a unique academic and professional background: I earned my Bachelor's and Master's in history in 1999 and 2001, respectively. From 2002 to 2014, I taught introductory American History courses at the local community college.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014 and my Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2019. Between 2014 and 2020, I worked in a variety of roles - as a staff nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU and Progressive Care Unit, and later as a nursing supervisor, manager, and clinical educator. All the while, the classroom was calling me back to academia. I missed that connection with my students, so I became a nurse educator in 2019. It felt amazing to help aspiring and new nurses meet their potential. Helping students connect with a subject that many of them struggled with was an absolute joy.As the pandemic raged on, I felt a pull back toward the bedside, so I became a staff nurse again in October 2021. I started tutoring as a way to continue helping students while also caring for patients.I take a holistic approach to tutoring NCLEX. I spend time getting to know my students: what they struggle with, how they've prepared in the past, where they'd like to focus their energy and time, and how they handle test anxiety. I then develop a tutoring plan to meet each person's individual needs. I teach content review, testing strategies, and in-the-moment stress-reduction techniques to help my students feel prepared as they go into the testing center.
