Experience

I'm proud to say that for the last 35 years, I have been a Registered Nurse. Most recently, I've spent a decade instructing a pre-license vocational nursing program. Through this program, I realized that I love to teach. I'm actually working on changing my career, as I study towards my teaching certificates in math and science. As a nurse, I have a good background in many science subjects, particularly anatomy and physiology. I have actually taught that course. I've spent an extensive amount of time volunteering as a tutor for life science concepts, as well as basic math concepts. I learned to guide students as they worked through the problems, providing them with the concepts and information they needed to solve them on their own. I have found that students learn better when they have to figure out the answers themselves, with help as needed, rather than having answers handed to them. This also gives them the confidence in themselves, as they realize they are capable of achieving their goals. When I work with students, I first discover what techniques help them learn best, and individualize lessons based on that. Tutoring frees me to use some fun, unique methods that aren't found in a classroom setting.
