Experience
I am a certified Biology teacher who has passed three state teaching exams (CT, MA, and TX). I am currently certified to teach Biology for students grades 7-12 in Massachusetts and Texas. I began my teaching career as a student teacher for grades 7 and 8 in Connecticut. I taught high school Biology for two years in Massachusetts. My husband's career brought me to TX this summer. I just completed a half year teaching assignment with a charter school in Houston for 8th grade science. In Massachusetts where Biology is an introductory course for high school students, I also spent time after school helping students work on their organizational and study skills. Although I do not have an official certification in this area, I am very good at helping students find systems that will make them more efficient and able to keep track of their work and progress throughout the school year. I really enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them make lasting connections with the material they are studying. As a classroom teacher having to reach many different learners, I know how to modify curriculum to meet various student needs. I also know how to use data to assess your student’s current areas of strength and weakness so we can be most efficient with our time. Finally, I LOVE science and enjoy sharing my excitement for the topic with my students.
