PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Hardworking preacher, team-worker & leader, and tutor, who is also trained in organizing meetings, building connections, and leading worship service for youth. My first year as a small group leader for our church. Served as the Youth Pastor for eight years. A long history in tutoring going back as far as 2004, teaching

GED prep and SAT prep, English and Math skills for grade school to high school students. As a

youth pastor, I developed my skills in sermon prep and delivery. In the many years of teaching,

I’ve learned that patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement goes a long way towards

teaching young students as well as older ones, in teaching academics as well as Scriptural teachings in faith and obedience, towards the teachings of Christ and other teachings in the Bible.
