As an undergraduate student, I had the opportunity to work as a tutor in the Writing Center of Andrews University.

My teaching style approaches the learner with patience and creativity. As an art and writing student, I realize that many kids learn differently, and I try to approach each situation

I draw on a variety of teaching experiences that contribute to my success with students. My most recent position was teaching all subjects to grades K-4 in a self-contained classroom. We had a family atmosphere with an open door policy where parents could visit and talk with me before and after school any day of the week. Because I developed the curriculum, I have a thorough understanding of where a student should be presently, and where he is heading. Problems were solved and goals achieved using guided practice, hand-on materials, music, repetition and memory, experimentation, field trips, and library resources. I am highly organized, yet flexible, as I assess a student’s needs and challenges. I have had a variety of teaching experiences since graduating from a small teacher’s college with strict requirements. I have taught geography, physical education, piano, keyboarding, and

I'm very skills-based in my approach to teaching and employ many learning "tricks" involving mnemonics, flash-cards, student-generated learning materials, as well as being able to help the student learn to integrate what she learns into a cohesive and understandable framework for retention. I home-schooled my own son using a Montessori approach, with which I am very conversant, and he was auditing college level courses at the age of fourteen--which is proof of my ability. As an adjunct college prof for twelve years, I received superior evaluations from my students. I can provide sterling references from peers. In addition to tutoring in my home for fifteen years, I received a Summa Cum Laude for the quality of my Master's Thesis in Creative Writing, and was the only student ever to be asked to serve as the Interim Director of the Cleveland State Writing Center. I have won awards, incl

I am British born and educated, and discovered my passion for teaching in Vietnam when I taught English as a second language to children aged from 4-12.
