I have worked for seven years as a substitute teacher, one year as a reading tutor for small groups, and four years as an elementary school teacher. I have two sons of my own who are now in their late teens.

I especially enjoy helping students grow as readers and mathematicians.

My greatest joy is when my students grasp a concept and start making connections and growing as learners.

Vocabulary

I am a certified teacher for grades K-9 and have several years experience teaching spelling and phonics, including word study. As a classroom teacher I expanded my students' vocabularies, teaching them how to determine a word's meaning from its prefix, root word and suffix. I also taught them how to use the various types of context clues to determine word meaning in context and the difference between denotation and connotation.

Grammar

Language Arts, including Grammar and Writing, is my specialty. I was well trained in grammar as a student myself and excel in assisting my students in improving their own grammar. I have often assisted others by editing their writing for grammar and usage and helping them to write on a more scholarly level.

Prealgebra

I taught 6th grade last year including math. I am currently tutoring two middle school students in pre-algebra. I have been trained to teach math using a variety of methods.

Reading

I taught Reading and Language Arts to middle school students for 3 years, then spent a year as a reading tutor for Kindergarten through 6th graders. I have an additional year of experience as a classroom teacher.

Proofreading

I am a certified teacher for grades K-9 and have several years experience teaching Language Arts. My students worked on proofreading every day focusing on correcting errors in grammar, usage and spelling as well as punctuation.

GED

I am a certified teacher for grades K-9 and have several years experience teaching Middle School students. I have been trained in teaching methods, have experience with a wide variety of curricula and multiple ways to solve math problems. I find that much of the GED test is a matter of thinking logically and with common sense. As someone who went back to school after 20 years, I understand the struggles that adult students encounter.
