As a long-time instructor in English, both in public schools and in higher education, I have encountered many students of many different backgrounds, learning styles, and ages, in the classroom and online.

Currently, I teach at a regional University in Business Communications, tutor, and substitute teach in my community. I especially value working with students by "starting where they are" and building a learning path together to reach the goals that the student has set for himself or herself. Meeting the student's needs -- rather than achieving my goals for your student -- comes first. My passion is in learning from each student first what those needs are. Then, by listening and learni

As a long-time student, I understand that a large part of a student's education occurs inside and outside the classroom, much of which is beneficial in a discussion format. I currently hold two undergraduate degrees in English, with emphases in literature and grammar, and two graduate degrees in Linguistics with an emphasis in English meaning. Throughout my education, I have worked with native and non-native speakers to develop and improve written and oral English abilities, acted as a university-sponsored supplemental instructor for students struggling with coursework, tutored students privately and in classroom settings in preparation for GED testing, and taught classes on various realms of language. I have developed a style of teaching that allows students to focus on their strengths and use them to incorporate different methods to overcoming their weaknesses. I believe that learning
