I believe you will find me to be a dedicated, flexible, and nurturing educator who is well qualified to provide quality content which will help to provide motivation and direction, students’ need to successfully learn. I am eager to expand my opportunities as a professional.
As you will note my teaching style is direct and decisive, yet flexible in responding to constantly changing demands. I feel creativity and variety are excellent strategies to help grab and hold students’ attention for increased participation in classroom activities. I had an opportunity to teach Biology to a diverse group of students in collegiate school. I foster an exciting and engaging learning environment by utilizing hands-on activities, fun experiments and real life connections. I integrate various forms of technology, and class discussions. These strategies are useful for consolidating important concepts showcasing Science in the local environment and working world, and encouraging active participation.
One of my greatest strengths is evaluating and meeting students’ diverse needs. With the strong content development skills, I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to your esteemed institution. I feel that my ability to assimilate new ideas and concepts, and dedication would be of great benefit as well. I strongly believe that all children can learn and with that belief, children do learn.
