I taught English SAT Prep for Sylvan, and my strategy was... Read more

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
