Give the brain what it wants!

From age seven, I have had a passion for teaching and public speaking. I am involved with a continuing education program that hones speaking and teaching ability. In high school, I helped to pilot and served as captain of the Speech and Debate team (National Forensics League). I also worked as a Teacher Cadet. I took four years to volunteer at an educational center after high school where I completed an advanced course in public speaking. I was a full-time volunteer minister for 15 years total, and I dedicated much time to working with troubled and at-risk youths. For a year, I volunteered with Lapsits for Literacy. I have experience teaching in English and Spanish, and I have certificates to teach English and Spanish to speakers of other languages from the highly regarded Canadian Institute of English.
ACTIVE!!! The focus is on FUN and changing gears. The brain wants activity. ... read more

I use the same method that I used on my son to achieve; we sit down, isolated, and concentrate on just what the problems are and how to achieve the end results. No messing around. I am not strict but I believe in having the child focus on just what the subject matter is. I had one student who I took from a 34 in Algbra to a 95 in one month but it took devotion from him and I. It was about 2 weeks in the session before he realized just how important his education was and then he took off, it was like a new person. I love children and believe that everyone of them can be academically successful. All children, in my eyes, are precious, and deserve a chance in life to achieve. I have no social, ethic, or economical barriers.
When my only son was born I was a caregiver to my mother who had suffered numerous strokes and was wheelchair bound. When he started school I became a full ... read more
