Professional Nerd

Collaborative
It always seemed I was the "smart, nice one" in the class, from elementary school through graduate school. I have helped students study for exams, practice speeches and presentations, perform research for projects, and compose and edit papers for students from sixth grade up to doctoral programs. I am especially skilled in the areas of social science, natural science and language.

I Make Learning Easy and Comfortable !

My teaching style is very engaging, relaxed and I can be a bit animated at times.
I am an experienced Special Education teacher and Substitute. Most of my work has been with high school students although I have tutored 3rd graders. My main subjects are English and Government. I also am experienced with World History, Zoology, Biology and General Science. One of my strongest areas is writing. Although Special Education has been my area of teaching, one of my strongest areas is in Writing...my degree is in Journalism/Communication.

I have been a public school special education teacher for 33 years. My specialties are Middle School Math, Algebra I, Geometry, and, Algebra II. However, I can also help you with English skills, especially writing and grammar.

You will do MUCH better on tests, including the standardized state test! I offer tutoring anytime, including over the summer to help you retain skills and enter the new school year with confidence.

Because everybody learns differently, I tailor my teaching style to the learning style of the individual student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a seasoned veteran of working for a large agency with multiple responsibilities across the State of Virginia. I have been tutoring, mentoring, teaching, training, and instructing on many subjects during my career. I have passion and dedication to whatever subjects I teach and I plan to impart a sense of enthusiasm in the subject matter with my students. I also teach coursework at the University level.
My approach is to encourage students to define their learning goals and then to discover how the learning the content can help them achieve their goals. I like to use real life examples to help students recall what they have learned. I am less interested in rote memorization. I tend to be structured and patient.

Creative Learning

I have always tutored informally, whether fellow classmates or nieces and nephews. My formal teaching career began as a Teaching assistant at Johns Hopkins University for a field ecology class. I continued as a guest lecturer at various universities and seminars relating to field ecology and oil spill clean-up. I have 20 years experience in field environmental remediations now, that is cleaning up oil spills. I have taught various seminars and presented academic papers at such institutions as Battelle. I have published about one hundred articles, and have one screenplay registered with the Writer's Guild of America.
I will try to diagnose your best way to learn, and then teach you in that manner. Usually, I like to see you master a fundamental issue, and then immediately teach it to someone else.
