Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura desde Kingston University London
I have taught a range of ages from middle school English Language Arts to graduate school Communications and Theory; also, special workshops on the African American experience, entrepreneurship, and social media safety. I enjoy facilitating thoughtful discourse and making sure students are engaged and interested in the material. I like to work with students who participate in conversations and share ideas. I am open to feedback and excited to share my expertise in African American literature and culture. 

I am an excellent teacher for study skills creative note taking. While in high school I attended many workshops on study skills. I used this information to take highly effective notes. Also, while in college I obtained a job as a note taker for the office of disability and veteran affairs. I took notes for students that were experiences challenges. All notes were neat, organized, and insightful. I am confident I can help anyone learn to take remarkable and insightful notes.
