Experience Summary
Retired, credentialed school teacher with over a 40 year work history. 22 years in the computer industry, with business experience in marketing, project management, call center management, integration of acquired companies into company dispatch and invoicing systems. 13 years teaching multiple subjects to ELL students, specializing in math, science and social studies. 7 years retail experience including sales associate, office manager, account reconciliation.
Teaching Style
My style is relaxed, patient and with a focus on the student discovering their knowledge with gentle guidance, as opposed to talking at someone. Each person has their own style and progress on how they learn, which is just as important to adapt to than merely teaching at someone.
My Hobbies
Volunteer at museums leading school groups, gardening, sewing, dance classes and golf.
