elementary (k-6th) As someone who's been extensively working with elementary students over the past 3 years or so as a substitute teacher, Huntington tutor, and Catechist (religious education teacher), I definitely know HOW to connect in such a way tht learning becomes both fun and enjoyable to the child I'm working with. I have a high return of positive feedback not only as a subtitute teacher, but as a Huntington tutor and Catechist as well. Students defintely love me! general computer I've been computer savvy since 1995 and am mainly self taught. Although, I did take Introduction to Computers course several years ago at the local community college and passed with flying colors.
