Experience

I have taught various science courses for over 30 years. My classroom experience ranges from 5th grade through 12th. Currently I teach biology and computer based science to at-risk inner city students with many reading problems.

Teaching style

I try to make science as relevant as possible to hook my students quickly in new topics. We do lots of hands-on activities that integrate in labs, art and games. I also try to use technology as often possible often allowing my students to use the internet instead of texts to source their information. In terms of my personal growth, I believe in continual self study and follow the research on best practices especially in regards to the at-risk teenage population.
