Nicole
Passionate and enthusiastic English Language Arts teacher!

When teaching, I like to use discovery and project based learning because I believe when students are able to co-construct their own learning experiences, learning will be more meaningful and retention will be greater. I have a great deal of experience using varied literacy strategies, and I will work tirelessly to find the ones that work for your child! I o... Read more

Learn English from a Haiku Death Battle Champion
Among several of my previous insanities, was to begin academia in the humanities. I taught in Korea, then studied Science, now my left and my right brain have formed an alliance. My writing is found in quite a few places: newspaper clippings and internet spaces. I’ve taught overseas and outdoors by the beach, and I can craft fun presentations to teach. This included refining climate education, and helping kids learn at a nature-school station. Recently I’ve built some leadership s... Read more

Dear Students and Parents, When I was in school, I had favorite teachers. They weren't merely the ones who were funny and nice; they were the ones who engaged me, enthralled me and taught me lessons and skills that I use and benefit from today. English -- or, really, anything involving reading, writing and communicating -- was and continues to be my true love. Having taught creative writing for years, as well as worked successfully with students on their application essays for college and g... Read more

Traditional Drawing and Painting Skills - Solid Foundation
I've been an artist since before I could even talk. Drawing is the core of my self expression as well as the basis for all good art making (in my opinion), regardless of the final form it may take. It has been said that you can't fix a bad drawing with paint - and I have seen this to be true no matter what kind of "paint" the creator chooses to apply! Good drawing skills can and should be learned by anyone who wishes to communicate in a visual medium. I take a very traditional approach to dra... Read more
Laurie
Test Prep for Nursing Students!
I was a teacher for 12 years before becoming a nurse. I have 14 years of nursing experience and hold both BS and MS degrees in nursing with a masters concentration in nursing education. My method of teaching for the boards is more effective then the expensive programs that many students use. I look at the way the student learns and I teach effective methods to answer questions correctly. I have helped many students who have failed the NCLEX the first time pass after only 5-10 sessions. I ... Read more
