Life-time-member of the Girl Scouts (40+ years), and Tutor and Biology Lab Assistant at HACC, I have been working with scouts and students of all ages for most of my life. Teaching trail building to seven-year-olds, leading process improvement or team-building meetings at work, or showing pre-clinical nursing students the functions of the latissimus dorsi muscle, I am versatile, adaptable, flexible, and committed to excellence. Able to transition from teaching my friend’s 5 year old granddaughter about ice hockey to teaching my Senior Biology Professor mentor html at school, I can use my communication background and skills to successfully interact with nearly anyone. The special training in communication styles and modes helps me target specific analogies, examples, and vocabulary to help nearly anyone understand nearly anything. Balancing working toward a Master’s in Adult Education from Penn State with weekend home health care as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I am diverse, attentive, exuberant, creative, and able to motivate and stimulate the student or scout with a passion for the adventure of learning.

Study Skills

As far back as kindergarten, I remember helping my classmates learn their names and addresses, as well as the colors and numerals we recited in a group each day. When we learned a Christmas poem in first grade, one line per child, I memorized the entire whole by hearing the phrases repeated. This was an early introduction to study skills and different methods for learning.

Do you know your own dominant sensory mode? Do you prefer to see diagrams or hear explanations or assemble models... Read More

Special Needs

I have worked with students of all ages, from preschoolers learning about colors to my mentor, a Harvard graduate with more than 46 years of service in education, whom I am teaching HTML and general computer skills. Each one requires a specialized plan that highlights the learning strengths and the preferred sensory modes. I have worked with cancer survivors, traumatic brain injury survivors, stroke survivors, and a variety of other challenged students, including several with diagnoses of ADHD,... Read More

Sewing

Trained both at home and at school in sewing and garment design, I can help you learn to sew projects from simple pillowcases and duffle bags to formal dresses, and from reenactment garb to church paraments and vestments. I can teach you the secret to creating original customized bath towels and accessories that capture your own personal interests.

Some of the typical activities in a garment project include the following: identifying the size, choosing the style, selecting or creating... Read More

MCAT

I hold a degree in Communication and the Arts with a concentration in public speaking. I prepare students for the MCAT by combining printed and online resources. I guide students through a diagnostic assessment to identify their areas of strength and weakness, and target preparation to those areas, including test simulations and exercises, in order to identify the correct responses on the MCAT to achieve a good score.

Anthropology

In addition to independent studies, I have earned the grade of “A” in “Introductory Anthropology”, “Social Anthropology”, “Cultures of the World”, and “Survey of North American Indian Culture”. In addition to this, I have taught First Nations/Native American Culture and Arts for more than 40 years in the older-girl program in the former Hemlock Girl Scout Council (now “Scouts in the Heart of PA”) both as a member of the Order of the Red Flame and as a Council volunteer.
Although First Nations/Native... Read More

Archaeology

In addition to independent studies, I have earned the grade of “A” in “Introductory Anthropology”, “Social Anthropology”, “Cultures of the World”, and “Survey of North American Indian Culture”. As archaeology was taught as a specialization within Anthropology and as a means of obtaining the material evidence of hte cultures, I believe this connection to be appropriate. In addition to this, I have taught First Nations/Native American Culture and Arts for more than 40 years in the older-girl program... Read More

TEAS

With degrees in Communication and the Arts with a concentration in public speaking, and in social science with a concentration on anthropology and sociology, I prepare students for the TEAS by combining printed and online resources with careful practice and review. I guide students through a diagnostic assessment to identify their areas of strength and weakness, and target preparation to those areas, including test simulations and exercises, in order to identify the correct responses on the TEAS...
