I just recently taught in an adult career college. My roles include facilitating student learning in Nursing, Medical Assisting, Medical Office Administration, Pharmacy, and Medical Insurance, Billing, and Coding program areas. I provide this instruction through a variety of methodologies, types of assessment, and within an environment conducive to student success. I consider it my responsibility to support and energize students in their efforts to succeed and advise students on their academic development.

Additionally, I consider it my role to emphasize that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed. Race, color, ethnicity, and any of the other various labels that society places on its inhabitants should not have any bearing on success. If there are obstacles to education, as an educator, I am ethically bound to remove them.

Writing

The APA (American Psychological Association) Formatting Style is a set of rules developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences.

(American Psychological Association, 2010) The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association contains the rules for every aspect of writing, especially in the social sciences from determining authorship to constructing a table to avoiding plagiarism and constructing accurate reference citations. Students may find information and assistance on APA Formatting in the Learning Resource Center or by searching the internet for the terms “APA Format”, “APA Referencing”, or “American Psychological Association Style.” As Faculty at Private College providing instruction in sciences, I required my students to submit all papers in APA format.

Very patient

He's a great tutor. I was taught methods I've never seen before. He left me a book to study which also pushed me above my limits. Two days later I passed the test. But it all would have never happened without God himself.

Great Job

Contacted James and gave him a last minute project. He was willing to accept the challenge and assisted my son with overcoming his anxiety of writing a college scholarship essay. In the end he was able to encourage and instruct in a way that motivated my son to take the 3 page essay he had written and start a new one from scratch that turned out fantastic!!!
