After twenty-eight years of teaching all aspects of the English Curriculum, I look forward to sharing this accumulated experience, insight and understanding with as many students as I can. Whether diagramming sentences, analyzing poetry, unlocking literature, or preparing for standardized exams, my students have grown to love the high return on their intellectual investment.

The main components of my approach to teaching have always included a high regard for the innate strengths and capabilities of my students, regardless of previous achievements. Since I emphasize the process of learning as much as the product, I guarantee positive and lasting results at many stages and in many areas.

From the rudimentary English basics of Grammar to the soaring heights of creativity and composition, the scope of my experience has something to offer almost any eager student (even a reluctant one). No matter how difficult English has been in the past, we will forge a path to success in the future. The most essential characteristic that I value in my students is the willingness to improve.

Grammar

Back in 1981, I began a Grammar instruction program at a small boys school and it has been paying enormous dividends for decades. Throughout the Middle School the young men were mastering the essentials of formal English Usage, Diagramming and all elements of Grammar. As they entered High School, they had a command of proper English that set them above their peers, especially in the areas of sophisticated and correct sentence and paragraph construction. The hard work definitely paid off for all... Read More

Reading

My experience with the rigors of high school reading include quite a few years of instructing Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors in the fine art of looking closely at the text. Our selections varied quite a bit from classic American tales to Medieval selections to semi-modern British pieces. I always stressed the importance of becoming an active reader, one who is engaged with the text and is always asking questions so that his mind remains focused. Invariable, the students would leave the class... Read More

Writing

The blank page. Nothing is more intimidating to a young or reluctant writer. After decades of working with students from grade 6 to 12, I have acquired the insights and techniques that can be of great help to struggling writers of all ages. Starting with the basics of Grammar Mastery and progressing though Advance Placement analysis and composition my classes have given a tremendous boost to all of my students. Using a variety of literary sources, as well as some imaginative exercises, I have... Read More

English

My experience in teaching English ranges from the rudiments of Grammar to the heights of Literary Analysis. During my years in the classroom, my students learned to love to learn; that was my approach. While keeping a keen eye on the skills to be developed, whether we were diagramming sentences, analyzing poetry, or practicing for the ACT, I sought to foster an atmosphere of both discovery and enjoyment. My classroom environment emphasized the direct correlation between honest hard work and sterling... Read More

SAT Reading

For all the years that I taught Sophomores and Juniors, one of the ongoing disciplines in my class was preparation for the national exams: ACT. SAT and AP. Regardless of what genre, time period, or native country we were studying the fine-tuning of accurate reading habits and sensible literary analysis were always imbedded in my approach. By year's end each student had increased both his skill and confidence in reading more actively, analyzing more intelligently and writing more eloquently.Read More

ACT English

Throughout my many years of teaching Introduction to Literature, British Literature and American Literature, one essential, ongoing component of my classes was always centered on the skills necessary to achieve high scores on all the National Exams; I tried to teach them how to think. Regardless of what we were reading at the time, my approach always brought close attention to the process of increased comprehension through perceptive and active reading strategies. Certainly, the management of... Read More

ESL/ESOL

Currently, I am assisting several students who are on their journey toward English Mastery. Some have already taken the TOEFL and are seeking greater understanding of English idioms and cultural references, especially in social interactions that contain humor. Others are preparing to advance their scores on specific sections of the test. I have greatly enjoyed all these lessons, particularly when it is clear that sudden understanding has taken place.
