I am a qualified professional with 10+ years working in public schools in urban, suburban, and rural environments. I grew up traveling in the military, a middle-child of a two parent home with twin sisters and a gifted brother. Our family also spent a great deal of my childhood in Europe. After graduating from a base school,I attended college in Louisiana and relocated to New Jersey to complete three degrees in Psychology, English, and Social Work while working for the New Jersey Department of Education. I love working towards building the learner's confidence through M.A.P.S.(METHODS ATTITUDES POSSIBILITIES SOLUTIONS(TM)} a special curriculum designed to remove emotional blockages and identify and re-emphasize the importance of unique learning styles. I believe that we are still learning what works, but we have to use multiple means of instruction, positive support, and assessment/plans. If you think you can't, you won't...if the right person tells you that you can, you'll try!

Grammar

Grammar, simply put, is the rule of composition and language. Additionally, grammar is the manner in which a reader, writer, or speaker uses words so that they are comprehensible. In teaching grammar, the lessons are usually strict and consistent, so that the new learner will be able to convey a sensible message. Grammar books are used so that a student can refer to the rules when they are doubtful regarding proper usage. Instructors and tutors try to correct grammar mistakes immediately so that... Read More

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is word-processing software that can replace the traditional typewriting process. The benefits of using Microsoft Word is that it eliminates the hassle of ribbons, correction-fluid, and wasted paper, usually experienced with the typewriting process. The program also allows the user to generate a successfully published document with the help of desktop publishing aids such as spelling/grammar check, font design, margin and paragraph defining, and table/chart insertion.

Reading

Reading and writing are the fundamentals of education. Children can be instructed in whole language and phonics techniques. New learners can gain success through a reading plan uniquely designed to increase areas of deficiency. If the obstacle is a learning impairment or self-esteem, counseling and family support will help with the reading process.

Writing

Writing begins with basic sentence structure. One sentence leads to the next. Novice writers will have to develop their writing skills by continuing to write. Journaling is a good way to exercise your writing skills. Each author has a unique voice that is translated into words, sentences and paragraphs. Another important writing step is to understand the intended audience. Expository, demonstrative, and research writing, are types of writing styles that are used frequently in high school and college... Read More

English

English is the combination of vocabulary, grammar, writing, and pronunciation used to convey a written or verbal message. Once a student has mastered English it will help with academic success in other subjects. English students will be asked to define, use, and write words and sentences in order to develop a proper English paragraph structure. When giving oral presentations students may need adequate training in pronunciation of English words to reach their intended audience. After a student... Read More

Literature

Literature can be a literally amazing tool to reinforce your reading, English and grammar skills. Reading is fundamental but truly understanding what you read makes it fun. Poets, authors, and playwrights have developed stories into literary masterpieces by using the sum of the parts to create the student's goal of using what they learned. Students can benefit from understanding the differences between non-fiction, fiction, essay, and autobiographical prose. Important literature was published... Read More
