During college, I tutored a local high-school student who was struggling in her chemistry class. Right away we developed a productive working relationship and in almost no time my student's grades improved significantly - she went from receiving below average scores to As. My student, her mother and I were beside ourselves with delight - I would absolutely love the opportunity to reproduce these results with other students. I am a strong believer in starting with a student's strengths, build... Read more

Comprehensive Writing Instruction Made Easy!
My interest in teaching lies in my desire to empower anyone who is in a learning environment. Over the years I have tutored college students, I often encounter students who are struggling with their self-confidence as much as they are with where to place a semi-colon.

Perhaps more importan... Read more

Since retiring as School Superintendent I have missed the educational environment tremendously. Throughout my 28 years serving in public education, my greatest professional satisfaction came in the classroom. Thus, I have continued to serve as a substitute teacher. I taught English for 25 years. Subsequent to my retirement I have spent weeks and months as a long- and short-term substitute teacher. I hope that there are young people who might benefit from my teaching experiences. I am willi... Read more
