Experience Summary
I have taught "students" from age 3 to age 73. Most of my experience has been in elementary classroom situations, but I have tutored individual students, taught computer skills to business classes and senior citizens, as well as business technology classes in a community college. I am also a co-founder of a small non-graded school which has now existed for over 40 years and is recognized as an established school by the state of Ohio. I enjoy teaching and enriching the lives of those with whom I have the privilege of working.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is to engage the student as much as possible and to utilize as many senses as possible. I will often use a "game" to practice a skill. When teaching a skill, my emphasis is understanding "why" something is done a particular way rather than stressing straight memorization.
My Hobbies
I don't have a hobby as such, but I am still very involved with the school I co-founded over 40 years ago. I enjoy reading, especially nonfiction. It's also nice to get outside in the summer months and work in my garden.
Other Comments
I currently do not have a teaching certificate, simply because I discontinued teaching for several years and did not renew my certificate. I miss teaching very much and that is why I continue to tutor students.
