Working with children and teenagers not only is a challenge, but also a passion. Teaching children require different skills, dynamism, fluency, empathy. In my two years as private teacher I have learn with children, that scientific knowledge is important, but it is also important to develop a good relationship between teacher and student . It is up to the teacher to enthuse students to research on their own, to be curious and make the student not only good with numbers and facts, but also an awake being with the capacity of solving problems in the everyday life.
As a Biologist, I consider that this generation needs to have a deeper aproach to the science as a tool for working and improving their envirement in both, thier local and regional areas.
Besides, in the last year, I've been collaborating in the investigation field in the Universidad del Azuay in the Laboratory of Ecology and Management of Native Species, and in the Universidad de Cuenca in te Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology.
Nowadays, I'm working as a volunteer in a sustainable project in the countryside nearby my city. I'm available and ready to start working in the evenings and weekends. If you would like to contact me for more information, please wirte me to my mail address.
Sincerely
Alejandra Alvarez Jaya
