TEACHING AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
Of the many teaching areas available, I enjoy the following: general science, biology and mathematics. Each of these areas has inspired me to teach students and help them become excited about that particular subject matter. Being a specialist in the following subject areas, I have realized how important knowledge is for student growth. By helping a student understand one subject area, they may develop the self-confidence to master other subject areas in the same fashion.
General Science
Teaching general science to students excites me, in that, students have the chance to learn about various subjects in one: from chemistry to ecology. I began my love for science in high school when I did my first dissection of the fetal pig. Of all the subjects I learned in high school, science was always the most difficult subject for me; however, this difficulty gave me the push to learn the subject even more. After becoming successful in science by the end of high school, I applied to post-secondary to further my love of science.
I have taken many initiatives to spreading the love of science by volunteering for events showcasing science experiments and promoting the growth of knowledge in a public and school setting. I have also tutored students struggling in science with my enthusiasm and knowledge while inspiring them to better themselves.

Biology
My love of biology was the driving force behind my success in academia. While, I enjoy science in general, I have a particular passion for biology. After grade 11 and 12 biology, I attended university and specialized in ecology. When I have a chance I always teach my students about STEM (science, technology, environment and mathematics) topics that relate to ecological processes and applications. My students enjoy learning about the environment and real world experiences that relate to biology. There are many approaches I use when teaching such as: fun games, the use of scenarios or even engaging lessons. I find that students can relate to as well as become excited about how I approach the subject matter.
Mathematics
I have always enjoyed exploring all aspects of my brain, such as logical thinking, artistic creativity or scientific inquiry (right and left brain characteristics). Left brain characteristics, such as mathematical skills, have always been very interesting as well as challenging for me. I enjoy embracing these challenges and conquering them heads on. This kind of mentality and thinking is what I teach my students.
In addition to biology, I enjoy teaching my students left-brained skills such as mathematics. Mathematics is an everyday tool that can be used as a universal language, which everyone should understand. I use this belief when I am educating my students while relating the theories and equations to everyday scenarios. This engages the students and helps them relate the subject matter to topics they can understand.
