Bio

I have a Master's degree in teaching. I am a certified to teacher in the United States, in both English and Social Studies. I have over 7 years teaching experience in both English and Social Studies, including 2 years teaching English in Saudi Arabia. I have taught US History, US Government, World History, Economics and Big History. I am TESOL certified (120 hours, in-classroom.) I have a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in English and Political Science. I believe teaching is a performing art, I believe the teacher's first job is to capture the attention of the student. The students will not be interested in the subject unless they see that the teacher is interested first.

Teacher Specialization

I have 2 distinct teaching specialties, Social Studies and English. In social studies, I am certified to teach grades 7-12. I have experience teaching in both the public and private schools. I was almost the entire social studies department at a small private school, where I taught grades 9-12, World History, US Government, Economics and Big History -which is a project of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation that blurs the line between history and science, and begins with the history of the Big Bang and progresses to human history. I have also taught US History. I also have had an almost separate career teaching English. I am certified to teach ELA grades 7-12 and have taught in the public schools but I also have years of experience teaching ESL to ages ranging from Kindergarten to senior citizens . I taught ESL in Saudi Arabia and ran my own tutoring business in Florida, as well as tutoring for the public schools.
