I am currently retired and have filled my time with a myriad of activities, including ballroom dancing and more importantly, volunteering in a literacy program. In this English as a second language program, I have tutored one-on-one and in a 'classroom' setting for those seeking to better their English skills (speech, writing, reading & oral skills). An important part of this process is to instill confidence in the students while making the experience fun.
I found my most recent experience in the literacy volunteer program to be so rewarding that it reminded me how much I enjoy teaching and desire to once again work with children.
I am trained as a teacher (K-9) and have worked with both children and adults. I also have a M.S. in Education. Before retiring, I was an IT Project Manager in a large organization. I designed in-house apps and both wrote the training manuals & taught our employees. This is a very creative process and illustrate the creativity I will bring to my tutoring.
