帮助学生取得成功是我每天都在享受的事情。这就是我决定主修教育的原因。我在俄亥俄州立大学的STEM教育项目的最后一个学期，重点是化学。目前，我是一名九年级物理科学教室和化学教室的全职学生教师。在整个秋季学期，我还在九年级的物理科学教室、化学教室和八年级的科学教室教了半天课。今年五月，我将从俄亥俄州立大学毕业并获得学位，并获得俄亥俄州的驾照。不过我还是会在哥伦布待到六月初。我一直觉得科学很有趣，从我在学校的教育和目前的工作来看，我很适合辅导化学和较低年级的科学。去年秋天，我还为一家名为STEM-U的公司做过家教。整个学期我们有两节课，我负责四到十二名学生不等的班级。 We did activities that were not only fun and enjoyable but also gave kids a basic introduction into coding using Spheros. I was a part of an engineering class as well through the company that went to different elementary schools once a week and taught them the engineering process by having them create, build and test ideas to complete challenges. Finally through STEM-U I was in charge of a math games class at an elementary school. We created and used lessons that revolved around fun games that had kids learning and actively using a variety of math topics.
化学不仅涉及大量的数学知识，还涉及科学概念。我在俄亥俄州立大学修过微积分1和2，数学一直很好。我觉得把我的数学背景和我的教学经验结合起来，辅导学生各种数学主题，包括代数2、代数预科、代数、中学数学和微积分预科。由于我在俄亥俄州立大学的课程，我也有广泛的化学背景，可以指导高中和大学水平的化学。我还在学校上过几门写作课，成绩非常好。朋友和家人都让我看一看他们的大学入学论文和课堂论文。作为一名四年的高中演讲和辩论队的成员和资深队长，我努力提高自己的公开演讲技巧，不仅在全班面前，而且在一大群人面前，我都能自如地演讲。这给了我背景和知识，能够在公共演讲领域的导师，增强孩子们在公共场合讲话的信心和能力。我最喜欢辅导的科目是上面列出的数学和科学，尤其是化学。数学和科学经常被学生们鄙视，因为它们通常是最难和最严格的学科。 I enjoy making these topics fun and interesting to students. My teaching philosophy is first and foremost to create a comfortable and trusting relationship with students. I bring an enthusiasm and interest to the classroom and content and look to create lessons or tutoring sessions where students are engaged and interested in the content. I want them to feel comfortable failing and asking questions. Failure is part of the learning process and we will take their failures and issues with the content and look at what confuses or gives them the most trouble. Then we will begin to address these issues together at the basis of the problem and work together to build vocabulary and content awareness in order to grow their knowledge. Outside of academics I am interested in sports, in particular baseball, I am currently the Vice President of the Ohio State University Division 2 Club Baseball Team. We play games on the weekends throughout the semester and my availability will already reflect this schedule. I also enjoy coaching, to me it is just an extension of the classroom and I have had the opportunity the past two summers and will again this summer be a coach for Cleveland Indians Youth Baseball. Science continues to interest me and I stay up to date on many of the innovations and discoveries in the scientific world.
