Experience Summary
I have five years' experience teaching data processing and business math to adults at Sanford-Brown Business college. I was named department chair for the last year + of my employment there.
I have tutored immigrants from multiple countries in English as a second language, through the St. Louis Literacy Council - now operated through the YMCA.
I have conducted many training classes and mentored others in corporate settings since the 1990's.
Teaching Style
My style is audience-centered and flexible based on several factors, including:
- number of students
- age and level of expertise/prior background and subject matter proficiency
- expectations (for example, adult learners are generally specific goal-oriented, seeking tangible and at times immediate results.
- evaluative determination of cognitive anchors -- from what basis of understanding can subject matter be approached that will provide the best platform for learning and discovery.
