Experience Summary
Over twenty five years' experience in the field of education, with the last eight years spent as a GED instructor as well as an ESOL teaceher. I possess an undergraduate degree in Guidance & Counseling and a Masters degree in English Education. I have also gained a certificate in Tutoring.
My present position as a GED instructor requires me to perform several duties: individual, small groups and large group instructions to different levels of GED students. This is with a view to preparing them for the GED test, based on state standards. I instuct in areas such as Grammar,Essay writing, Reading comprehansion and in many instances in Mathematics as well.
Teaching Style
I ensure that lessons and instructions are specific to the needs of students, without compromising the overall curriculum which needs to be taught. I firmly advocate that as best as possible, the student is allowed to own his or her learning, whilst being provided with support and motivation by the teacher.
My Hobbies
I enjoy dancing, reading and researching topics which are current and interesting. I love doing Crossword puzzles.
