Professional Experience
My teaching style is best described as dynamic. While I am always organized and focused, I vary my instructional methodologies to incorporate diverse activities and material to engage and interest students. By understanding human behavior and acknowledging the many different learning styles of students, I easily establish and maintain an excellent rapport with students and co-workers alike. As a result, there is a strong level of trust that develops, which allows me to provide direction in working towards realizing shared goals and objectives.
