Career Objective:

Seeking to obtain a position in which I can apply my skills constructively and aide others
beneficially.

Teaching Philosophy:

Everyone is different- no one is the same and neither is their brain. Therefore my goal is to teach
all students put in my care the way they need to be taught. I believe school is for learning and
will make sure that every student learns something no matter what their level is, whether they are
ahead or behind. I will do my best to make lessons interesting, because anything else would be
cheating both the students and the subject matter.
