Experienced educator who loves helping others learn.

Taking a student from wherever they are academically and getting them to where they need to be, around whatever disabilities or struggles they have, is my goal. I have over 25 years of experience from preschool to adults. Test prep in GED, PCAT, LSAT, SAT, ACT, Praxis, Regents Reading and Writing tests at the college level, to elementary students who need basic phonetics, reading strategies, math, or writing, or any other subject area is my forte. I was an elementary teacher for many years, but presently I am an administrator of a GED program overseeing instructors for GED preparation test classes and teaching adult education courses in Reading, Science, Social Studies, Math and Writing. I would love to assist you or your child in any area.

Reading

I have taught the A Beka reading in private schools, many other programs in public schools, worked with adult readers, and love to read myself.

Writing

I have written poems, short articles, and now am writing a book to be published. I have a clear logical way of writing a 5 paragraph essay and from there it is just practice, editing, and me adding comments to better improve your work. I will make it as painless as possible for you.

Proofreading

I have proof-read many college papers as and English tutor for Georgia Perimeter College. I did this for over a year. I, also, have proof-read and edited many GED 5 paragraph essays for the GED exam and for college entrance essays.

SAT Reading

I have proctored and even administered the SAT exam at Georgia Gwinnett College. I am qualified to teach Sat test preparation sessions. I am especially strong with the reading, writing, and language skills, but can assist with all categories.

SAT Writing

I love writing and have a simple and concise way to make it virtually painless. I have taught GED writing for the exam and never had a student fail the writing portion using this method. I am certified to teach SAT writing through Wyzant. Let me make this easy for you.

ASVAB

The ASVAB is very similar to the GED exam of general knowledge and I am very familiar with the basic material. I would be able to assist you in studying for this test with a current manual and/or book.

ACT English

I am strong in English skills and have assisted in proctoring and administering this exam at Georgia Gwinnett College. I also taught it at the GED center were I worked for 3 years.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have taught Kindergarten for 2 years, 2nd grade for two years, and 4th grade, and have tutored all grade levels.

Phonics

I have taught basic Phonics when teaching reading in grades Kindergarten in a private advanced Abeka program and in Abeka 2nd grade program. I have also used various other phonics programs and techniques. I actually LOVE to teach a child or person to read.

Study Skills

I can teach where to study, how to study, being organized with material, eliminating unnecessary material, skimming and scanning for important information. I'll explain having a plan of how long to study for each subject, how to take breaks, how to stay focused to complete major projects by planning ahead to do small increments of the work prior to deadline date, and then putting it all together in a clear and concise manner.

ESL/ESOL

I have taught ESL advanced level students through the Continuing Education Dept. at Gwinnett Technical College and Level 2 & 3 in the Adult Education Dept. there also. Plus, I taught advanced level ESL at Lanier Technical College's Office of Adult Education program in Cumming, GA.

Sewing

I can sew basic items, such as, pillows, curtains, hems, simple tops, pants, etc.

Bible Studies

I have a major in Bible (30 credit hours) from Free Will Baptist Bible College.

Volleyball

I have taught elementary gym and we did volleyball. I did play volleyball in high school on a team. I have a Master's degree and am very much into sports and know I can handle this. I took a PE course that was just volleyball in my undergraduate courses.

Career Development

I am a transition advisor in my GED center, advising students on colleges, careers, helping with applications to colleges, FAFSA information, Hope grant and Hope scholarship information. I have interest inventories that can be given to search interests, talents, and abilities with aptitude to determine career paths that will be suitable.

ADD/ADHD

I have worked with many students with ADD/ADHD, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, medicated and not medicated. It is about organization, short spans of learning with frequent changes of activity or subjects in order to keep them engaged. Finding their interests and applying it to whatever they must learn is a must. If they don't find it necessary, they lose interest or find no purpose in what they are doing or learning.

Regents

I have administered and proctored reading and writing tests. I teach the 5 paragraph essay needed in this test or the GED exam. Reading is mainly comprehension and knowing how to know exactly what the question is looking for and then locating the information in the reading, as well as, knowing basics, of main idea, sequence of events, characters, plots, settings, etc.
