Teaching and Mentoring Experience

Mentored students on the LEGO Robotics team for Haut Gap Middle School

  • Worked alongside students interested in drainage and flooding.

  • Interviewed the Mayor of James Island as to present day solutions and came up with ideas as to new potential approaches to the problem.

Tutoring - 6th grade students traditional math
  • Many of the students in my program were not meeting expectations. It was necessary to introduce better study habits and strengthen their basic mathematical concepts/skills. The process has enabled students to improve their confidence and as a result improve their attitudes towards learning math. Once that was achieved, they are showing improved study habits, improved math skills, and are now performing at or exceeding expectations.
  • Pupils are more confident and better equipped to take on complex math problems.
  • Students are excited to see their grades increase.
  • Children performed mathematical problems on white boards and collaborated with each other respectfully. After mastering the concept each was eager to share with their peers. Middle school math reference books were provided so that they can review and practice additional problems at their own pace.
  • Planning real world learning experiences relative to financial literacy.
