"I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with an emphasis on American Government, Power, and Justice from California State University Bakersfield, providing me with a strong foundation in governance, ethics, and social dynamics. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Divinity (MDiv), expected to graduate in March 2027, which enhances my knowledge of theology and spiritual guidance, enabling me to blend faith perspectives with historical and political ideas. Although I lack formal teaching certifications, my hands-on experience and advanced studies equip me to guide students effectively.

For the past five years, I have taught middle school at a private school, instructing groups of 20–30 students aged 11–14. Over four years, I covered World History for 7th graders, Ancient Civilizations for 6th graders, and American History for 8th graders, employing interactive techniques like group discussions, primary source analysis, and project-based learning to make topics engaging. This year, I shifted to Bible instruction, emphasizing one-on-one and small group sessions to apply scripture to everyday life. My teaching style focuses on critical thinking, real-world relevance, and personalized feedback in classroom or online settings. Additionally, I volunteer in church youth programs, mentoring preteens and teens on faith topics, refining my adaptability to various learning styles and ages.

In tutoring, I build student confidence by customizing sessions to their needs. For instance, I might link historical timelines to biblical principles or explore justice from a political science viewpoint. With experience across diverse students, including homeschoolers, I help connect ideas between disciplines. Whether prepping for exams, delving into faith, or studying government, I foster supportive, interactive environments for growth and understanding." less...
