I have been a City College of San Francisco instructor since 1999 and have taught College Success (LERN 50) in the classroom, online and as a telecourse.
I enjoy teaching online so that I can reach students who may otherwise not be able to attend college or who do not have time to come to campus for all their classes. This includes a range of students such as those whose family and work commitments make coming to class a hardship.
My goal is to reach all students and include those who may otherwise be excluded.
My educational philosophy is to share my love of learning and also encourage students to overcome obstacles or barriers in their lives which hinder their success. These barriers run the gamut from social hardship to self-esteem and many other issues. Students learn that they can overcome if they are determined and that they can succeed academically and in life at large.
In my leisure time, I enjoy reading about different cultures, nature, writing and music. I sometimes travel to The Gambia in West Africa where I have close connections with the people.
