天津外國語大學(xué)附屬外國語學(xué)校課程中心外方教師簡介

I am very proud of TFLS and our accomplishments towards student learning and the university placements for our graduates.  Our mission has been to create a caring environment for learning, coupled with strong personal discipline, to ensure the progress of each and every student at our AP Center.  This means that every student is important to us, and we take special care to monitor and assist their progress throughout the program.  The final goal is an outstanding educational experience that includes hard work, extracurricular activities and high achievement on all our AP subjects.

教育感言：Physics explores the mechanics and structure of the world that we live in and have created. But it is just not about learning rules and equations. In class we learn the language and the math to help us understand things as the understanding is useful in not just physics but in other subjects. It is the understanding that I and my students strive for at the end of my class. The understanding makes examinations easy.
 物理探討的是我們居住和創(chuàng)造的這個(gè)世界的構(gòu)成與結(jié)構(gòu)。但它不僅僅是學(xué)習(xí)概念與公式。在課堂中我們學(xué)習(xí)使用語言和數(shù)學(xué)來幫助我們理解事物，正如理解能力不僅在物理學(xué)科中，同時(shí)在其他學(xué)科中也是有用的。在我的課堂里，理解能力是我和我的學(xué)生最終的奮斗目標(biāo)。理解讓考試變得更容易。 英國諾丁漢大學(xué)教育學(xué)研究生畢業(yè)，16年英語教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，曾經(jīng)在多家國際學(xué)校教授英語，今年是其在我校工作第三年。
教育感言：Read; Read; Read! A wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom is available to you if you are prepared to make an effort.
Think; Think; Think! You are important too! Think about what is important in your life; reflect on your experiences; know yourself, and clarify your hopes and dreams.
Write; Write; Write! Become a competent and creative writer by practicing a little writing everyday.
閱讀、閱讀、閱讀！如果你努力，你可以獲得豐富的知識(shí)、經(jīng)驗(yàn)和睿智。
思考、思考、思考！你也是非常重要的！思考在你生命中什么是重要的，反思總結(jié)你的經(jīng)驗(yàn)；認(rèn)知自己、明晰自己的希望和夢想。
寫作、寫作、寫作！通過每天的點(diǎn)滴練習(xí)把自己鍛造得更有能力和創(chuàng)造力。 新西蘭奧克蘭大學(xué)心理學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)，11年英語及心理學(xué)授課經(jīng)驗(yàn)，曾經(jīng)在沙特阿拉伯及韓國大學(xué)任職授課教師。今年是其在我校工作第一年。
教育感言：My expectations of the students is they practice and therefore do at least a little study every day. If students want to pass the exams, they must study NOW. It’s too late to cram information and try and learn everything a few days before the exam. I also expect them to try and make learning fun and if it cannot be fun, then accept that it is something they have to do to be successful in life. Good marathon runners don't run a marathon every day, they train long before the race and they do a little each day if they want to succeed. It is the same for study and exams.
我對(duì)學(xué)生的期望是希望學(xué)生能夠保持練習(xí)，每天都學(xué)習(xí)少許內(nèi)容。如果學(xué)生想通過考試，他們必須現(xiàn)在就開始學(xué)習(xí)。考前再進(jìn)行死記硬背和學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)就太晚了。我同時(shí)希望同學(xué)們能學(xué)習(xí)在快樂中進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)，如果學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容沒有意思，那么就把它當(dāng)成讓自己成功中所必須做的事情。優(yōu)秀的馬拉松長跑并不是每天都跑整個(gè)馬拉松。如果他們想成功，需要在比賽前進(jìn)行較長時(shí)間的訓(xùn)練，每天都做少許訓(xùn)練。學(xué)習(xí)和考試是同樣的道理。

微積分教師

教育感言：My goal as an educator is to teach my students how to think rather than what to think. There is a tremendous amount of information that is easily accessible from almost anywhere and at almost any time and understanding what is true is an important skill to have. Therefore, I feel it is important for students to learn to question things and think logically and critically in all aspects of their life. That is why I encourage discussion, group work, creativity, and proof in the mathematical classroom.
作為一個(gè)教育者，我的目標(biāo)是教會(huì)我的學(xué)生如何去思考而不是去思考什么。在這個(gè)時(shí)代里，巨量信息隨時(shí)隨地觸手可及，明白什么是正確的是一項(xiàng)非常重要的技能。因此，我覺得學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)在他們生活的各個(gè)方面提出問題、具備理性思維和批判性思維能力是非常重要的。這也是我在我的數(shù)學(xué)課堂里鼓勵(lì)討論、小組工作坊、創(chuàng)造性和證明的原因。

教育感言：I think that students need to find enthusiasm. Whatever the topic or subject they are working on, I am confident that wherever there is enthusiasm, the end results will be above average.
I find this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt quite apt:
"Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can, as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. Not simply be what is generally called a success."
If I had to say a special word of encouragement, or if I needed to inspire my students, then I would say: find the excitement in what you are learning and keep at it, you will surprise yourself of what you can achieve.
我認(rèn)為學(xué)生應(yīng)該找到他們的熱情所在。無論他們正在努力的學(xué)科或主題是什么，我確信只要有熱情，最好的結(jié)果一定出類拔萃。
我引用了安娜·埃莉諾·羅斯福的名言：
“你的志向應(yīng)該從物資生活中盡可能多的獲得幸福生活，盡可能多的愉快與興趣、盡可能多的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)和對(duì)事物的理解。而不是簡單去過通常被稱為成功的那種生活。”
如果我需要說一個(gè)特殊的關(guān)于鼓勵(lì)的話語，或者我需要去激勵(lì)我的學(xué)生，那么我會(huì)說：找到學(xué)習(xí)中讓你興奮的東西并保持下去，你會(huì)為被你自己所取得的成就而激勵(lì)。 美國紐約州立大學(xué)人文學(xué)碩士，6年人文學(xué)科教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
教育感言：
My educational philosophy is based around making sure the students understand the overall concepts. That is why I suggest students organize the key terms they learn about on flash cards so they can learn their meanings and organize them into the different themes of the course. I also suggest learning to actively read. When you are reading, rewrite the main points in your own words into your notebook. That is the best way to remember information. Don't forget to pay attention in class.
我的教育理論建立于保證學(xué)生能理解整個(gè)概念。這就是我建議學(xué)生在他們的詞卡上整理他們所學(xué)到的關(guān)鍵詞組，以便他們能學(xué)到詞組的含義并且把他們總結(jié)到課程上的不同主題里。我也建議學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)積極地閱讀。當(dāng)你閱讀時(shí)，重新在你的筆記本上重新主要知識(shí)點(diǎn)。這是記住信息的最好方法。最后，不要忘記在課堂上認(rèn)真聽講。 化學(xué)碩士畢業(yè)，18年化學(xué)授課經(jīng)驗(yàn)，曾經(jīng)在國際學(xué)校教授IB和A-LEVEL化學(xué)
教育感言：I have been privileged to have taught Chemistry for over 15 years ago in different parts of the world including Africa, Middle East and China. Across all the different cultures that I have come across, the brain of every young person is always inquisitive and ready to receive whatever is presented to it in different ways as each student is unique.  This has forced me to develop student-centered, constructivist and humanistic approach towards educating young minds. My research has shown that young people become better learners when their needs as individuals are recognized, appreciated and nurtured. The net effect is that they become self-confident as they know that they have all the support, expertise and direction they need for their current and future development. Towards this end, I design, develop and deliver student-centered activities that allow learners to be in charge of their learning process as a way of nurturing their investigative skills. I am particularly  encouraged by the fact that students at Tianjin Foreign Language School are exceptionally well behaved and driven to excel in their exams, particularly in external exams. They are some of the smartest and brightest students that I have come across and I am sure they will be able secure admission to top-notch universities in the USA and UK.
我在世界上多個(gè)不同地區(qū)教化學(xué)已經(jīng)15年多了，這些地區(qū)包括非洲、中東和中國。在我接觸的所有不同文化中，每一個(gè)年輕人都是充滿好奇并且準(zhǔn)備好去接受以多種方式展現(xiàn)在他們面前的事物。這也鞭策著我去開發(fā)以學(xué)生為中心、建構(gòu)主義和人性化的方法去培育發(fā)展年輕額大腦。我的研究顯示當(dāng)個(gè)體的需求被認(rèn)知、欣賞和培育的時(shí)候，年輕人會(huì)變成更好的學(xué)習(xí)者。凈效應(yīng)就是他們變得自信，因?yàn)樗麄冎浪麄冇兴麄兡壳昂臀磥戆l(fā)展所需要的所有支持、專業(yè)的意見和指引方向。最后，我設(shè)計(jì)，發(fā)展和傳授以學(xué)生為中心的活動(dòng)，讓學(xué)習(xí)者們對(duì)自己的學(xué)習(xí)過程負(fù)責(zé)，這也是培養(yǎng)他們研究性技能的一種方法。我特別受到鼓舞的一個(gè)事實(shí)是小外的學(xué)生表現(xiàn)良好成績優(yōu)異特別是在外部考試中。他們是我教過的最聰明的一批學(xué)生，我確信他們能去到英國和美國最頂尖的大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。
