"I am an experienced teacher for grades 5th through college. I have years of experience teaching college courses, and love to share my knowledge and skills with my students. I have taught at Temple University and Burlington County College as well as several middle and high schools in the South Jersey area. I have also done lectures at libraries and organizations and have hosted popular movie presentations and film series in the area.

Additionally, I have written two popular books, hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles and have appeared on radio and television.

I love communication through words, both written and spoken. It's important to me for students to me, and to make their writing and speech both informative and entertaining.

Films have been a passion all my life, My two books on the subject have been highly praised. I love talking to people about movies, and, while I have strong opinions, I always allow others to share their insights and welcome the exchange of ideas, praise and criticism. My movie knowledge touches all bases, from blockbuster movies to independent movies, from classic black-and-white pictures to movies in theaters today.

I look forward to helping students open to learning the essentials of communicating through writing and speaking. I also would love to impart my background in film to those interested in the subject. I believe that a mutual understanding between teacher and student leads to understanding the essentials of communications and the desire to take things to the next level." less...
