I am enthusiastic and enjoy what I do. My skills as an educator have been built on 35 years of experience of working with special needs students. I have developed many teaching techniques and learning methods, which enhance a students strengths and works on reducing their poor learning habits. I have worked mostly with Junior high and high school students in math, English (reading, language arts) and social studies (history, geography, government).

I have been working with Special Ed. students with reading difficulties for over 30 years. I have used many different methods and a wide assortment of materials to assist them to improve their reading and comprehension. I attend reading conferences every year to stay current in methods which have proven to be successful.

World History

I took classes in Development of Civilization in college, which covered history of other nations. I've read widely about other nations in Europe, Asia, and South America. I also took anthropology classes about the cultures of Africa and South America.

GED

The GED is a very comprehensive test covering a large amount of information in many subjects. So it requires much studying and knowledge to pass it. I have been teaching mostly high school subjects for over 30 years. Working with special needs students required me to teach many subjects and adapt and develop different teaching methods to assist them to pass. This has helped me to find ways to help students learn required information to pass and aids in these kind of tests.

ASVAB

I have helped many students with taking major tests ie. SAT, ACT, GED, ASVAB. I have taught high school students for over 25 years.
