A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my life, I have always found comfort in teaching children. When it comes to learning, their appetites are insatiable, but often we come to road blocks as to how children are to be taught. They all have different personalities, how can they learn absolutely the same? You will find me an extremely adaptive, grounded, and patient individual, as all of those thing are needed for success. Oh, I'm pretty nice, too. I am very good with languages, as I feel it is important to be able to communicate in as many ways as possible. I strive for the excellence that I believe exists in all students.
Throughout my career, I have always worked well with others and value the importance of working as a collective toward the task at hand. Effective communication is crucial to success. Understanding this, I have taken it upon myself to become fluent in two languages, Mandarin Chinese and S ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My degree was in communication arts which was a catch-all for English literature, media and other liberal arts studies. I tutored people in the 1990s at the Literacy Council in Grove City, Pa. (That's why I put "1" in the tutoring column above.) I also was a student "teacher: for a humanities class in my senior year in college. Also, throughout my journalistic career, I have guest lectured at my alma mater.
One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was the time I spent tutoring at the Literacy Council in Grove City, Pa. Taking someone who could not read, teaching them one-on-one phonetically and then hearing back from one of the council officials that the person had passed the literacy exam ... read more
