I taught English 180, English 101, 102, and I also worked as a writing center consultant at the University Writing Center. I help students to become curious, purpose-driven, passionate, and credible ... writers, readers, and researchers. Moving to Texas and starting my job last Fall 2022 here in UNT, I have nothing but commitment, optimism, and excitement everytime I enter the classroom. One of my English 1310 students wrote this in the reflective essay: “Ms.Underwood made this class feel like such a safe space for all her students, she made the learning experience, for at least me, a very fun one. Some of the favorite things that Ms.Underwood did to make this class a better environment would be making class activities fun. One that stood out was raising a toast and each speaking about something from the class and something we learned. Being able to an activity made it interesting, it is also that helped in writing this essay. I always thought English classes were kind of bullshit, especially with my experience in high school.read more

Hi! My name is Rhobie. I am currently an adjunct teacher at the University of Northern Texas. I was born and raised in the Philippines.My passion for reading, writing, learning, and teaching English i... s one of my strongest foundations in finishing my degree amidst the poor and hard life back home. I have always wanted to become a teacher, writer, and scholar. My teaching experiences could be classified into three different types. The first type would be my part-time jobs in the Philippines as an English college instructor for a computer school, a face-to-face tutor for Koreans, and an English online teacher for Chinese and Taiwanese. The second type is full-time teaching which happened mostly in Thailand, which gave me an opportunity to teach not just one but at different levels. I had experience teaching from Kinder to Grade 11 (Thai, Brazilian, Malaysian), as well as Thai teachers, and university and immigration staff. I teach the teachers how to speak English and how to teach English in a classroom. I teach the university and immigration staff basic conversations as well as advanced English so they can have better opportunities in their job as well as help them gain confidence when talking to English speakers. The third type of teaching experience would be the teaching assistantship and opportunity that was granted to me here in the USA. I teach College Composition and I also worked as a writing center consultant at the University Writing Center. I help students to become curious, purpose-driven, passionate, and credible writers, readers, and researchers.read more
