As a Magna Cum Laude graduate from the University of South Florida, Marine Biology and Psychology programs, I have demonstrated exceptional ambition and the ability to excel in academics.
As such, I am passionate about teaching and learning. Beyond any additional certificates and degrees, I may earn, I intend to continue my education through the two-way interaction between students and teacher. My students will be given the encouragement and confidence they need to feel good about learning. They will be given a supportive environment that allows them to grow and develop skills in a comfortable way.
I earned a certificate for the 168-hour, level 5 Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course. This course covered subjects such as English grammar, teaching large classes, methodology, and online classes. I have also passed the Florida Professional Education exam in pursuit of my permanent teaching certificate.
In addition to teaching certificates, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. This diverse combination of academic studies has been instrumental in broadening my understanding of people and the world they live in. Furthermore, I apply the scientific method, which is practiced in both disciplines, as a way to break down complex problems in everyday life, as well as the classroom.
I am also a Certified Pet Trainer. In that role I taught class sizes that ranged from individuals to large groups, including families of all ages and their dogs. This experience gave me the opportunity to learn how to manage and teach classrooms of multiple sizes and with diverse groups of people, ranging in ages from 5 to 70. Without changing my teaching philosophy or effectiveness, I was able to be highly flexible in order to accommodate the wide range of personalities and conditions, along with the added variable of dogs who were often times there to fix disciplinary issues and bad habits.
In summary, I am a self-directed leader with a passion for learning. I have experience teaching students of all ages and plan to promote a supportive and productive atmosphere in my classroom. I have the necessary credentials, ample educational and practical background to fully qualify for this teaching position.
