  Teacher and Trainer

  I am an enthusiastic and effective teacher with classroom teaching experience at the university level. As a graduate student at Carleton University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for Professor Brian Given for his “Introduction to Anthropology” class. This position required teaching, individual tutoring, and evaluating first year research papers. As Professor Given’s T.A., I also evaluated the fourth year Honours Research Papers. I have extensive experience in tutoring Carleton University students in history and anthropology, particularly in assisting students to improve their English skills and to develop essay writing skills at a university level. In addition, I have tutored students at Algonquin College, the major community college in Ottawa, in psychology, sociology and history. Many of the students whom I have assisted have become returning clients. Throughout my university career, I had many opportunities to develop effective teaching skills using PowerPoint and a wide variety of presentation methods to make presentations to classes. My related experience in technology, communications, and computers has aided me in gaining teaching experience in assisting local companies while teaching computer and internet development skills. My earlier experience as a Swimming and Lifeguard Instructor allowed me to develop skills appropriate for younger students, using physical games and drills which I developed in order to create an effective learning environment with an emphasis on fun while children gained confidence and learned the safety skills that they needed. I taught lifesaving skills for the Red Cross and the Royal Canadian Lifesaving Society and for several private groups, interacting with children, teens, and their parents. Show less
