Experienced Teacher in English, History, Public Speaking

I am currently a professor in Mass Communications at a local university. I also worked for two years as a substitute teacher in public schools, grades 1-12. I have worked with Americorps Energy Express, an elementary school reading program, as a mentor. Education is very important to me, and I use positive reinforcement and practical experience as part of my teaching philosophy. I try to provide my students with as many opportunities as possible to put their studies to practical use, and understand that everyone learns and improves at their own speed. My strengths are in English, Psychology, Writing, Reading, History, Public Speaking, Graphic Design, and Presentations. My experience teaching a variety of age groups and subjects provides me with a strong base of knowledge and understanding of students' needs.
