I have taught at risk, special ed and gifted students for close to 2 decades. I was recognized as a distinguished teacher throughout my teaching career. Throughout my career I have been highly successful in all areas in the field of education. I believe that all students can learn and believe that students must take a serious part in their learning. As students self-assess, become involved in their learning, they will become motivated learners. Practice a variety of things to motivate students and engage them in the depth of learning.

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. 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.

Employed at Oakland Community College 2010-2011. I have been a tutor at OCC since 2010, but have had a lot of private experience prior. My methods are very effective, yet unconventional. This serves both you and me very well because I like what I do and you get the knowledge you're seeking. I can always understand a student's individual needs because I have been around such a large variety of learning styles. Also, I believe that a "set" lesson plan is worthless for English because who's to say that everyone with a specific problem is not understanding it for the same reason? One person may not understand the use of paragraph formation for a completely different reason than the next. Casual, but very effective.

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.

My teaching style is flexible to meet a particular student's needs. I can provide short-term assistance for short-term projects. For longer-term tutoring, I like to take an inventory of a student's goals, as well as a look into their curriculum. In either case, the goal is always going to be to help a student best reach his or her potential with solid, memorable insights into writing. I am a 15-year communications professional with executive experience in editorial management, public relations, strategic communications planning, and crisis communications. I am proficient at teaching and editing for grammar, substance and flow in academic realms as well as professional journalism and public relations.Versed in APA, MLA, and in AP styles.
