Hello, I'm Doris. After my previous busy school years of student government activities, glee club and sports, I decided to obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree from Morgan State College. There I majored in French and Secondary Education and has less time for the extra curricular activities. While at college I participated mainly in the French theatre performances that were offered to the outside public each year. This gave me a great deal of experience speaking the language and learning about the culture. Once I graduated from Morgan State College in Baltimore, Maryland, I was off to Atlanta, Georgia for graduate school. While in Atlanta, I came across an advertisement for the Peace Corps Intern Degree Program. What a surprise! This was a miracle! Having a desire to travel, see, and experience other cultures was a dream come true from the days I would browse my father's military memorabilia. After course work at Tennessee State University to obtain my Master's degree, I was assigned as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, French West Africa. I taught ESL to 7th and 8th graders. Also during this time, I tutored high school students for the national exams. Having completed my Master's thesis as well as three years of volunteer work in Senegal, I traveled to Spain, Italy, London and France. In Paris I taught ESL to French employees of American Banks. After Paris, I was back in French West Africa for ten years, then home many years later teaching at the University of Delaware (French), Goldey Beacom College (ESL) and a local technical high school (French and Spanish). During those years, I also tutored elementary and high school students outside of the classroom setting whose parents or friends knew me personally. During a tutoring session, in addition to listening and learning, the student should not hesitate to ask questions and have fun.
