Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In order to best help a student I will want to know something more about their preferred learning style. Learning styles include: visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. My approach to instruction will include a variety of activities but will focus on the student's preferred style.
If the student has had some previous experience in the subject area, I may give a pretest to see what they do and do not know, or just have an informative conversation.
Expectations of the student are important. What level of competence are they expecting to achieve?
Developing a rapport with the student is of great importance in order for them to get the most out of their educational experience.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an undergraduate degree in Physics/Math. My graduate degree is a Masters in Grassland Ecology. I am certified as a General Science teacher.
What types of students have you worked with?
Most of my teaching experience has been with an Adult Education program. These students have not been successful in a traditional high school setting for a variety of reasons. I taught face-to-face classes to small groups of students. This enabled me to better get to know the students and modify instruction to meet their individual needs. I have also facilitated online learning using Odysseyware.
