I love to teach English and I get good results.

I know how important English communication skills are to success in ALL subjects, and my approach helps students to realize the connection between English and all academic areas.
I have taught in Dearborn Public Schools for 34 + years, 32 of which were in grades 9-12. I truly enjoy the process of teaching and watching students improve. Lack of confidence is often the cause of low achievement. I concentrate not only on self-image and confidence, but on ACTUALLY IMPROVING SKILLS so the student's confidence will come from within, not from mere positive re-inforcement, but from actually experiencing their own growth. I love to teach writing skills, reading improvement/comprehension, grammar, and all aspects of English language arts. Teaching for me is more than a job; it's a calling.

Tutored students as a part of an after school program with inner-city, Washington High School. Assisted the struggling students with brainstorming paper topics, clearly communicating ideas, general textbook use, critical thinking, future goal making. I also made a point to get to the students as people not projects. Throughout college I regularly worked with Spanish speaking students to develop clear papers on a variety of subjects. I also helped them edit for proper grammar and sentence structure.

Poetry is one of my top subjects! In addition to having taught English at the middle and high school levels for 18 years, I have been a poet myself for more than 40 years.

My teaching style...? I do not have only one; part of the point of tutoring is the ability to truly tailor styles/strategies to individuals or small groups. I must say that I am the funniest person I know, and I crack myself up all the time. Humor is always one of my favorite/best strategies.
I am a certified teacher of French and English; I have taught both subjects at the middle and high school levels for 18 years. In addition, I have 6 years of tutoring experience before becoming a teacher. I have worked with students of all ages, elementary through college. I am one course shy of my Masters' in French. I have worked with inner-city middle school students for more than 10 years, through a program called "Math Corps." (Google it.)

I have about five years experience in tutoring elementary and high school kids. I love working through math problems with students. I love seeing lightbulbs turn on in brains. I believe learning is fun and education should be celebrated. Education gives us opportunities. I graduated from UC Berkeley. There, I was encouraged to think and understand others' points of view. I strive to impart that same idea to my students.

I Teach Kids how to read one letter, one book, one success.

I love to teach from a kinesthetic approach. I believe that all students learn differently. So I provide all types of manipulatives for learning.
I have taught school for over 23 years. During my teaching career I have worked with multi-levels of students. The majority of my experiences has been on the primary level working with pre-K thru 3rd grade. I also have experience with 5th grade all subjects. But I have my own tutoring Company and I have worked with kids to adults. I love literacy, phonemic awareness, phonics, and teaching children to read,

English and Writing CAN be Fun!

The collaborative learning approach, where students are encouraged to discuss what and how they're learning, is most effective. Students tend to engage much better with course material when the instructor has discussions with them, as opposed to lecturing at them.
Since being awarded a master's degree in 2008, I've taught English composition, literature, and reading comprehension courses at Wayne State University, Henry Ford Community College, Oakland Community College, and Jackson Community College. I am currently a professor of English at Wayne County Community College.

I have worked quite a lot with elementary school children, whether it be in or outside of work. I have done independent tutor work, mainly in the fields of Art and Language Arts. In the past I had a long-term job in which I was required to interact with young children, and I did so willingly. For two years in a row, I taught a Beginner's Guitar course for children and the feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive. I enjoy very much seeing things "click" with students, particularly young ones. It inspires me not only do teach well but also to always learn more myself.

Share your knowledge to someone else.

Critical thinking skills and untraditional ways are what I focus on. However the way someone learns, I will try to set the individual up to show how they learn and work with them. I will implement practices and materials I think will fit the student's profile. I feel a teacher wears many hats and you must be prepared to wear a different one any day.
I have been a tutor for 23 years and I have taught Adult Basic Education for 12 years. I am still continuing my education to receive a Masters degree and plan to get my PhD. I work for a community college and have done advising, enrollment, testing, phone directory, and student sevices. I have attended many professional development workshops on education.
