teaching

Over the course of my career, I have had a few people suggest that I go into teaching art, since that is my training and passion. Now, I am fairly confident I would make a very average teacher at best - I tend to think too much about what you "should" be telling kids. As luck would have it, I have nonetheless been called into service to help someone near and dear to me: my younger son.

Growing up I was always fascinated by Chemistry, but struggled with the subject all the time in school. I just didn't "get" it. Years later when I joined Dowell (eventually part of Schlumberger) I made fast friends with one of the chemists in the research laboratory. He is passionate and enthusiastic about the subject, and he has a great desire to help others see this. We spent numerous lunch breaks just talking about different problems and concepts. His gift of teaching led me to many "ah-ha!" moments, and I discovered that I could in fact learn a great deal - and enjoy it.

I have been teaching children twice a week and have developed a supportive and caring relationship with them. This helps the children to build confidence in themselves as they grow toward a higher level of literacy.

La utilización de herramientas que permitan potenciar el proceso de aprendizaje, es una visión de hacer que en los estudiantes se genere un ambiente motivacional para fijar conocimientos de una manera significativa. Reconocer las habilidades de las personas, sus caracteríisticas individuales y su perspectiva de aprender de los errores, son la base para propiciar el conocimiento que tenga impacto.
