I encouraged students to find their “writers’ voice.” My goal was and still is to enable students to become more independent writers. This means that I helped my students to not only be able to report data and facts about their topics, but also interpret and explain why the topic is important to them. Furthermore, I encouraged them to connect their research to their overall evaluation or argument. In order to stress preparation for the “real world” to upperclassmen I incorporated hands-on practical projects in which students work for faculty on campus or for people in the professional writing or business field every semester.
I taught University Writing Com 101 ESL, English Composition, Advanced Writing, Business Writing, Technical Communication, and Technical Writing courses. I formed classes where students used a wide range of computer programs to create and evaluate print and on ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a private school teacher for over twenty years, I have taught students from preschool to college, including teaching ESL to Chinese immigrants, from intermediate to advanced. While living in California, I took seminars on how to work with students who have learning difficulites in the areas of reading, spelling, writing or language arts.
I especially love working with elementary students in the areas of reading, spelling or language arts. I usually can help a student improve their reading grades, and help them to decode new words. I also like teaching ESL because it gives me a broader concept of the world outside the U.S. I really enjoy learning about new cultures.

I believe that teaching is the most important profession in the world. Not only do I have the opportunity to shape young people’s minds and make them future leaders, I have the responsibility to do my best to assure their success. Student success should not only be evaluated through academic achievement but also personal growth. The most important job for a facilitator is to create meaningful discussions that encourage subject mastery and an opportunity for students to learn from their peers.
As an educator at all levels, I am interested in helping students achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by providing opportunities for students to learn through their preferred method of instruction. Whether a student is in kindergarten or graduate school, it is the teachers job to facilitate and guide him/her to success. I am qualified to teach elementary and middle school ... read more
