With so many years of experience, I have watched educational trends come and go and come back again! My own style is simple and has served me well with all levels: discover the student's passion and build on it through reading, writing, research, and talking to him/her. I have never worked with a student who doesn't want to learn. Resistance is usually fear of failure. I love the challenge of figuring out how each student learns. My teaching experience has been diverse. I have taught fifth grade through college level, and I have taught in different areas of English: grammar, writing, literature, speech, reading,etc. I have tutored elementary students in reading and writing. I currently teach composition at the community college level to mainly non-traditional students.

I have recently retired from the U.S. Army as a medic. During my service, I was frequently responsible for both formal and informal teaching and training. I learned to easily adapt to various learning styles, learning barriers, and researching subjects. While still in the service, I utilized my lunch breaks and evenings to further my education and emerged with my AA and completed Nurse Assistant training while still serving and my BS only one year later; two months after retiring. Currently, I am working on my MS in Health Promotion with a certificate in Disaster in Public Health. I am capable of producing a lesson and effectively teaching any subject. I am very adaptive.

Most of my career experience has been in News-Editorial and creative writing. As my daughter and son (now young adults) have grown and matured, I have been involved at several levels and in various paid and volunteer capacities as teacher, assistant/aide, and tutor. My substitute teaching experience primarily has been in the subjects of English, social studies, music, math, and art. I am patient, kind, respectful, and good-humored. I have noted that my own excitement in learning is contagious. I believe each of us excels in individual areas of particular interest. I support self-esteem, self-respect, and respect for others, and I think these qualities and values are self-motivating. I learn, as well, from those whom I teach.

Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride in their work and accomplishments. Sometimes, it just takes someone with patience and flexibility to motivate a child to do their best. I have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age after-

With an advanced degree in education, more specifically in special education, I have experience working with people of all ages. Being as I have a bachelor's degree in English, I have a love of the language and its literature, which I enjoy to share with students and friends. During my long history in the education field, I have had my share of students who presented me with difficult issues and questions. One of my strengths is that I am able to find a way to answer those questions and explain them in a way that makes sense to the student. As evidenced by my teaching history, I have a passion for teaching, especially those students who others find difficult to work with. I specialize in alternative learning styles and working with individuals who have disabilities. I am very able to alter teaching styles so that I ensure the student learns the concepts they need to learn. I have a

I retired last year after 33 years of United States Air Force military and civilian service. I have earned a BA in Sociology and an AS in Engineering Design Drafting. Throughout my career, I often found myself providing both individual tutoring and group instruction. One of my most enjoyable positions was as a full-time satellite scheduler instructor where I would train newly hired employees both individually and as a group. Equally important to me during this time was my work as a volunteer helping children with special needs and/or learning disabilities (with Head Start and public schools) and completing nine credit hours towards a MA in Special Education with a 4.0 GPA. As a volunteer, I have enjoyed teaching children with learning disabilities. I believe I can make a difference as a tutor.
