With extensive experience in teaching mathematics and science, coupled with a passion for fostering academic excellence, I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to this educational environment.
In my 8 years of teaching, I have developed a reputation as a dedicated and effective educator, particularly in the areas of math and science. My approach to teaching is grounded in the belief that every student can succeed when given the right tools and encouragement. I strive to create a classroom atmosphere that is both challenging and supportive, where students feel confident to ask questions, explore concepts, and develop critical thinking skills.

Earth Science: Weather patterns, seasons, the sun, moon, and stars, introduction to rocks and soil, changes in weather and seasons, and the water cycle. Earth’s resources (rocks, minerals, water), natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes), and the solar system.Weathering, erosion, and the formation of landforms, more detailed study of the solar system, and the Earth’s place in it, Climate and weather, Earth’s layers and tectonic plates, and the impact of human activity on the environment.
I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse group of students, which has honed my ability to differentiate instruction and tailor my teaching methods to meet the needs of all learners. My students consistently achieve high marks in standardized tests, but more importantly, they leave my class with a genuine understanding and appreciation for the subjects I teach.
Thank You.
