As a recent student, my online education used the most progressive and innovative resources available. The BS in Interdisciplinary Studies enabled me to become proficient in three, instead of one discipline. A focus in English-Professional Writing, Business and Psychology, provided advanced knowledge of many subjects, plus research, writing and communication skills, essential to online learning. I have skillfully produced thousands of academic papers, requiring extensive research, on a wide-range of study topics, making me aware of and responsive to students’ needs. Furthermore, as a Support Substitute for my local school district, I have worked with students of all ages, in a variety of ways, including one-on-one tutoring. I have sons ages 17 and 20, and continually took an active role in fostering their education. From the time they first set foot in kindergarten, through high schoo

I have spent the last 10 years educating young adults in both high school and college. I have taught in brick and mortar schools and in online institutions. In both, I have worked with students who are strong, natural learners who just need help fine tuning their writing and processing their ideas. I have also worked with students who struggle with every aspect of English from the reading of literature to getting their thoughts down on paper. My own time in graduate school has helped me to develop my finesse with grammar, word choice, sentence structure and organization. It is these skills I hope to help develop in my students in respect to their writing, from the most basic writer to the most skilled writer. Teaching is my passion. Besides being a mother, it is the thing that most defines me. I believe that learning is innate in all individuals, but, if an individual lacks passi

I like to laugh, have fun, and create a comfortable environment for individuals to learn. It is important to have that type of space so as to ensure that students do not form a sense of anxiety when entering the room or when studying that particular subject. I love creating a variety of activities: group, individual, hands-on, problem solving, comprehension and reading, and activities where students have to get up and move around. As long as concepts and terms are rehearsed and relearned students will be able to store it better than if they learned it once and then move on to the next concept. While attending UW-Whitewater I completed my Observation and Participation at Golda Meir in Milwaukee for 4th grade, completed my Field Study at Palmyra-Eagle High School for grades 9-12, and have just completed my Student Teaching at BlackHawk Middle School on Madison's East Side for 8th grade.

I have twenty-five years experience teaching at the college level. My areas of expertise are Sociology, Criminology, and Legal Studies but my favorite part of teaching is working one-on-one with students on research and writing projects. In recognition of my expertise in this area, my university awarded me the Provost’s Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research Mentoring in 2007. I have published and reviewed for academia journals and have experience writing and reviewing grant applications. Last year I left my tenured job to move to Wisconsin to be with my family and to develop an independent consulting business. But I really miss teaching! I would love to work with students who need a little extra help finding their voice. To be a teacher is to be a guide: A guide knows the landscape, has the right equipment, and can quickly adapt to a changing climate. I know academia and the ki
