Teaching Philosophy

As a teacher, I believe that parents trust me with the responsibility of guiding their child as my students on this part of their academic path, so I must choose methodologies and materials that may help the student through the path. Different students may have different needs in this process, which requires a sensitivity to evaluate the individual needs and come up with solutions to each possible case, always working in partnership with the families to have more effectiveness in the learning/teaching process.

As a Christian, I know that all truth is a truth of God, including the scientific truth, therefore, all knowledge is subordinate to the Holy Bible and under the major truth that God is the Lord of the universe and rules it according to predetermined laws, and reveals Himself to mankind through the things that have been made, according to Rm.1:20. To raise a fully virtuous human being it is necessary to look at him holistically, the knowledge must have a rational, personal and spiritual value, meaning that when teaching about the winds and the oceans, the student learn about Jesus, who has the power to command the winds and the ocean, when learn about the physiology of breath, the student also learns the everything that breaths, awes praise to the Lord.

Statement of Faith

I believe in God Almighty, the one and only, the true and living God. He who knows me before time, the Father. He that came in flesh and died my death, so I could live His life, Jesus Christ, the Son. He who lives inside me and guides me through the paths of this life, the Holy Spirit. They, that are one, and revealed himself through history, the God of the covenant, that gave us Jesus Christ, whose blood washes away my sin and the evilness of my heart. I believe that I am a foreigner in this world, going to a home I never saw, but that by faith I know has a place for me, besides my God, where I shall live for eternity. Amen.
