As one whose combination writing and teaching career spans 38 years, I have evolved an advanced expertise in grammar. I advocate a "hands-on" approach that affords students an opportunity to feel as if they are teaching themselves and I am there only to facilitate the process.

1993 B.S. Texas Womans University Elementary Education 2008 M.A. University of Phoenix Curriculum and Instruction 1994 Teaching Certificate State of Texas (Lifetime) I have been teaching for the last 19 years. I have taught everything from 1st to 8th grade. My favorite subject to teach is Math.
