Prealgebra

I have taught Prealgebra to several private students in 7th grade who were having difficulty. They were subsequently able to grasp the main concepts and move on to algebra. I was able to convince them to go step by step through problems, which eliminates confusion and mistakes.

Writing

English

I am an experienced English teacher of all levels, including university, community college and high schools. My subjects include grammar, writing, reading, literature and communications. I believe in meeting the individual needs of my students and have had success as a private tutor, also.

ESL/ESOL

Teaching ESL/ESOL effectively depends on a knowledge of students' cultures, as well as her or his needs in his new environment. Bringing the language to them as a means of self-expression, based on their prior experience is very important. I have always established an open, informal relationship with my ESL students, which is mutually beneficial.

Elementary Math must be learned starting with the basics, numbers and their combinations. Each step is important for building a strong math background. Working with individual students in this subjects permits good understanding and confidence with solving problems.

Success in elementary school is imperative for future advancement. Beginning with kindergarten, students can acquire the confidence and skills which will carry them through their future education.
