Experience Summary
Since earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University, I taught English, Drama and Journalism in Texas and in New Jersey for several years, after which I spent another 10 years tutoring students from kindergarten through high school in all subjects when they were required to be home from school due to illness or other situations. I subsequently went into the corporate world and trained adults in the use of computer software and other technical needs. I also was a training coordinator at Walt Disney World for several years, which included providing Youth Education Seminars in American History and Literature.
Teaching Style
Enabling a child to realize his full self-worth is the reward a teacher gets when he is able to work individually with a student and show that child that he can learn whatever he needs to learn. By recognizing the child’s interests and valuing him as a person, I can reach him and together we can work toward the goal of understanding. It is very important that the student understands the “how” and “why” of the subject rather than just memorizing facts. I feel that I have the secrets to unlocking that for students.
