Experience
I make Physics Curriculum and Activities that support students with a wide range of mathematics & language skills. I have taught Physics for over 15 years in Texas, Chicago, and Germany. This included Conceptual Physics, Honors, Pre-AP AP, IB, and Abitur Physik.
Teaching style
I have spent most of my career teaching physics to students who need extra math or language support. I enjoy helping students who traditionally ''hate math'' learn to love it as a tool to understand the fascinating world around them. My goal is to make students feel they can solve any problem with enough time, patience, and good eraser.
I learned through formal trainings and practical application how to support students with significant gaps in math. In my classes, I found that a physics course can help many students catch up in math faster than in a traditional math course because they are more engaged in the real-world applications.
I have also taught physics to a large populations of English Language Learners in South Texas and to German Language Learners in Germany. I received formula training in both countries on language supports in science education. However, I think having to teach in my non-native language to German native-speakers was the biggest learning experience for me!
Awards & shining teacher moments
You know that moment, when you hook a student and they NEED to know why? And you can see the questions and wonder for the universe around them? That is the greatest honor/award! Bonus when the answer is ''Scientist don't know that yet, but please mention me in your Nobel acceptance speech if you figure it out.''
