(concealed information)
As a child and into my teenage years, school has always been a constant for me. I felt safest and most valued at school. Teachers built my confidence, they were there when I struggled academically and emotionally. I knew since being a student that I wanted to assist others, like myself, attain their goals through the pursuit of education.
During my senior year of college, I learned about Teach for America and I jumped at the opportunity. I enjoy teaching and I view myself as a life-long educator and student.
I earned my bachelor's degree in 2018 from Bowdoin College in Chemistry and Romance Languages & Literatures. I spent a semester at the University of Bologna, where I studied Italian culture and literature. After graduating from Bowdoin, I joined Teach for America San Antonio. I have been teaching Algebra I in San Antonio for the past 2 years and I served as my school's Math Department lead for this year. I then taught Geometry at KIPP UPREP for 2 years, where I also served as the assistant grade team leader. I have mainly been teaching math; however, because of the diverse subjects I studied during my undergraduate studies, I am able to teach Chemistry, Spanish, and Italian. Currently, I am working on my masters in educational leadership at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Before getting started, I like to build rapport with my students. I like to include ice-breakers or activities to get to know each other better because it can be intimidating getting assistance from an adult. Then, I would like to know what subject and chapter the student would like to improve on. I would like to make the time spent together effective. If a student requires a full-on teach, that is also helpful for me so that I can prepare keypoints and practice problems that would ensure the students success.
I have worked with all levels and types of students. I have worked in Title 1 schools in Texas with a majority of students who are on free or reduced lunch. I have also worked with students with learning disabilities and I have experience supporting them by providing supports as detailed in their IEPs or 504 plans. I've worked with college level students and students of affluent backgrounds looking for higher level work.
Look for someone who is willing to work through struggles with you and that is patient. Not everyone sees or understands concepts the same way and your teacher should be cognisant of that.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I think students should be transparent with their teachers and be direct about their needs. As a teacher, we are there to assist. You do not need to have everything figured out as a student. Come to us with your needs and we will do our best to guide you and find answers/solutions to your problems.

Mr.Medina is an amazing teacher because everyday he came to the classroom he came with a smile on his face ready to teach and he always knew how to help you understand if you were stuck on something.
He was very clear and was always very attentive what I was lost in. Always found a way to apply what I was learning to my life.
He was very patient with me and made sure I understood what he was teaching well. He really breaks things down well. He taught me Alegebra I and I really enjoyed it. He’s also energetic and funny!
