You may have heard of famous inventors like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and the Wright Brothers, but how many women inventors do you know? Let's learn about brilliant women inventors from across history! This is an ongoing course that learners may join at any time. Each class, I will introduce a woman inventor. Students will learn about each woman's lives, accomplishments, and inventions. Students will also learn about relevant subject areas related to each woman inventor (Social Studies, History, Science, Environmental Science, etc). Throughout class, students will have the opportunity to answer discussion and comprehension questions. Class format: Engaging presentation with visual aids (images, videos). Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions. We may play Kahoot at the end of class. If students don't have Kahoot, they can tell me their answers in class. Schedule: *** I will offer this class again in the summer! ***

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ms. Rodriguez and I am passionate about teaching diverse literature, mythology, and history. I have taught content-based English classes using fictional novels and world history textbooks. Through my travels, teaching experience, and college studies, I have learned about diverse cultures, mythologies, and historical figures from around the world. I have also learned about the importance of diverse children’s literature. I truly believe that any student can benefit from reading books that reflect the diversity of our world.
Education:

Experience: 5 years of combined teaching and tutoring experience (ages 5-16). I have worked in schools in the US and South Korea.
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe students learn best when they are genuinely interested in the topic, can make real-world connections, and feel safe in the classroom environment. My goal is to make my lessons interesting, engaging, and relevant to my students. I believe students are always learning, and I want to make that learning process as fun and accessible for them as possible.

I grew up in North Carolina, USA, but my family is originally from Mexico. I love traveling and learning about new languages and cultures! I studied Korean for 3 years in university and lived in South Korea for 1 year. I have also traveled to two beautiful cities in Japan: Osaka and Kyoto. I am a fan of many films/shows, including but not limited to: Marvel, Disney Pixar, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
