Teacher expertise and credentials
Throughout my life I have been a Spanish teacher, an online ESL teacher, a GED instructor, taught science in my neighborhood community center. I have held many roles as an educator but the role I have enjoyed the most has been as a family man and the educational experiences I have had with the young learners in my life have been the most rewarding. I have always enjoyed reading to them and teaching them new things. I have taught various types of classes from Spanish to basic science and general knowledge classes. I have taught several online classes with great success in subjects ranging from anatomy to astronomy. Currently I have found teaching Spanish on Outschool very rewarding. Outschool lets me share my passion of storytelling. I started developing my storytelling abilities as a very young boy and perfected them once I became a Father of two very young girls. My stories and teaching methods reflect the dynamic I have with my daughters as a single father raising two daughters full time. The challenges and rewards have made me grow into a better person and a better dad. I strive to better myself as an educator and take into consideration all aspects of my learners needs within the classroom.
I have a Bachelor of science in engineering and my work background is in Electrical Engineering, with various other skills and abilities mixed In. I am currently working on my psychology degree with an emphasis on child psychology. My passion for learning and teaching goes hand in hand. I approach every teaching moment as an opportunity to learn as well.
I am an avid trivia enthusiast having competed and winning multiple trivia competitions. Random facts and the pursuit of enlightenment fill my days. If I can share my fun facts and help a child see learning as a fun activity my goal as a teacher is fulfilled.
