My BA degree was in Speech & Theatre. Who would have known that a shy kid like me would have excelled in public speaking, english, and theatre. I love the English language, even though I've had classes in French and Spanish. I started school when I was 4 years old (too early), and all my grade school years was challanged with education. Now that I am an adult, I feel that I have the experience to help children understand and find it easier to learn English and grammer, sentence writing, composition writing, essays, etc.
Laid back, but encouraging.If a child is struggling, I don't think you should add fear and criticism to the situation. Having had Catholic nuns in all my grammer school days, pretty much put the "fear of God" into me, until I went on to public high school and college. then I was able to relax and embrace english and literature.

I have supervised accounting staff for 15 years and am a patient and encouraging coach. My goal is not to just teach the answers, but to teach stude ... read more

I take what the student knows already and expands. There is never a reason to blast the information and overwealming the student. I love my teaching what I know and making it understood to other people. The military just added to my understanding of the need.
I year US Air Force-as an E-4 Sergeant and 2years E-5 Sergeant taught, tested any lower grade airman under my supervision. US Army 4 years taught, tested all personnel in my unit for annual testing of medical classes.
