I taught and tutored ESL two years before entering law school. I hae taught college classes as an adjunct and later FT professor at Penn College for 25 years. I currently serve as Career Outreach Coordinator for HACC-Lebanon Campus. I have tutored many students, particularly in areas such as writing essays. I also served as a reader for the SAT Writing section, so I am familiar with what they are seeking. I am very proficient in grammar and structure. My teaching style with students of all ages is to facilitate their learning as opposed to simply feeding them what I feel is the best response. Students learning is maximized when they can take ownership of and pride in their work. I am very patient. Recognizing that all students learn differently, I seek to ascertain their learning styles and then adjust my tutoring style to that learning style.

I aced every paper I wrote in high school and college. I can help anyone in high school or college. I can help no matter how much or little help is needed from proofreading/editing a paper to explaining the assignment and sitting with the student from the first word written to submission. I have tutored many people in English Composition I and II, from community colleges to major universities. All of them received an 'A' or 'B' on their essays. Some of them merely needed a proofreader and some needed me to sit with them for hours at a time. I would explain the assignment, help with brainstorming, teach writing basics, help them organize, and so on. I love helping students who need a lot of help. I do not care how long I have to help or how many times I have to repeat the same information. I have also tutored people who were writing essays for history, science, and other classes. I can he

For almost two years I taught occasional catechism classes to middle and high school students. I also have experience in successfully preparing students for advanced history exams. Most of my teaching experience has been one-on-one, or with small groups. I have also been invited to speak at several college and youth events, to audiences between 40-120 people. My teaching method is conversational. I find this style helps students to remember and understand the course content, because they place it within a larger narrative. I also believe in teaching by example, through timeliness, preparation, respect for the student, and confidence.
