As a teacher, I created comprehensive lesson plans which covered many subject areas, including reading and English. I implemented a positive learning environment in which the students felt comfortable and ready to learn. In addition, I tutored students individually when appropriate. I also established strong relationships with the students where advice from them was requested often and is still Read more requested to this day. I am certified in First Aid and CPR.
