By In-Gene-ius Lessons I have taught Educational Technology at Florida International University, I am a grader for Pearson Inc., I am currently Teaching Advanced Science (Earth/Space/Environmental). I have taught I.B. Biology with a pass ration of 97.5%, and A.P. Environmental Science with the highest pass ratio in the District of Volusia County. I am a Creative Writer and have a minor in Philosophy, and Geology of Natural Disasters.
I truly believe in a hands on environment and creating a positive yet extremely competitive classroom atmosphere. I also feel that it is my duty to show students my respect and dedication towards them and their education first, and they will then step up and perform at their highest level in order to not disappoint me. I am extremely well regarded amongst my students and ask only that they try their absolute best on any assigment I give. I am honestly the most energetic and passionate Teacher I have witnessed; and am likewise a firm believer in observing other Teachers, in order to help myself get better in terms of my pedagogy skills.
