About the store

Experience

I have been teaching middle school science for approximately 16 years. I have three science certifications life science 8-12, science 4-8, and science 7-12.

Teaching style

Students have various ways of learning and I try to cater to the needs of all of my students. I try to provide my students with various visuals. To explain, visuals play a huge factor in many abstract concepts and students need to see what is perceived to be the unknown. Meeting the students halfway creates significant gains in their level of comprehension.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I have been a "Distinguished Teacher" since 2012 Successful "ACE" teacher for 4 years and State of Texas Exemplary Teacher.
