Summary
I love to teach and being in the classroom. I miss the daily lessons and the interaction with the kids. I love to see students when the pieces finally click and they are so excited. My favorite subjects have always been Science and Math. I substitute taught for many years and loved the flexibility of teaching many different subjects. Even teachers in other fields of study would request me to fill in as I would teach the lesson plan that they had left.
I feel confident teaching any Middle School Math or Middle School Science Class. I also feel confident in teaching most High School Science and Math classes. I have just tutored my niece through Pre-Calculus with straight A's. Calculus and Physics would be something that I would need to reteach myself.
