"Thirty-eight years in the classroom taught me many things. I learned that there are highly diverse individuals in any give class with different methods and styles of learning. I learned that students really do want to learn and be successful. I also learned that you can never judge a book by its cover and that personalizing the learning process makes the task of learning easier on everyone involved. I enjoy teaching.

I have taught everything possible class in secondary Language Arts curriculum. I always felt it would make me a better teacher to have a wide variety of courses and pedagogical methods in my arsenal. I always put my students first and advocate for their success.

I always try to put my students at ease with the subject and use a variety of methods to accomplish this. I build on student success by addressing the basics of Language Arts and scaffold lessons tailored to the students needs. I emphasize a strong work ethic and try to help students have fun in the process of working- I do believe that learning should never be an obstacle to esteem or character building.

I applaud any student or parent who reaches out for tutor services. This displays a deeper lever of concern and ambition. I will give my full attention to my client and apply all my experience to helping my students achieve success and meet their goals!" less...
