Approved Subjects

Desktop Publishing

Desktop Publishing

I teach a class called Desktop Publishing using MS Word and Publisher. In this class students act as a Desktop Publisher for several different companies and create all the flyers, brochures, business cards, letterhead, etc. that the company needs. The simulations used by the students are: Frillio's Pizza, Concert Tour, and Elect Me! all from BE Publishing. Skills learned include: page and layout design, working with graphic images, objects and elements used in graphic design, creativity and imagination, technical writing, critical thinking. Also included are planning and decision making, advertising and marketing and creating documents using Publisher and Word. This gives students a solid understanding of how to use this software.
English

English

As a former high school business/tech teacher and a current online college adjunct, I model English skills through my teaching. I set up my online class with simple directions so students can follow with no problems. I've edited, revised and corrected countless student projects as well as assisted clients with business proposals and presentations.
General Computer

General Computer

As a retired high school business/technology teacher, I've taught many computer classes from entry level to advanced. These include MS Office applications, Keyboarding/Computer Applications, Web Design, Game Programming and Desktop Publishing. I've taught adults as well via tutoring and adult classes at our high school. I've helped clients organize their desktops, create folders and general information about using their computers. I am a NJ certified business/technology teacher who is currently a college adjunct. I use technology all the time in my college classes, especially when teaching online.
Grammar

Grammar

Teaching business and technology subjects gives me the unique opportunity to edit and revise grammar both online and in person. Most students submit their work using technology and have spelling/grammar tools to proofread, but rarely use them. As a teacher, I stressed the use of them by modeling how they work as well as explained their errors so they understood what they did wrong and learned how to do it correctly.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have taught high school business/tech as well as some middle school Computer Apps classes. I am NJ certified in Business/ Technology as well as NJ Elementary School certified. I've taught online for many years and continue to do so as an adjunct professor. I feel strongly that I can assist homeschool students with projects, homework, etc.
Microsoft Access

Microsoft Access

I taught Access in an advanced computer class at my high school. My students used a book called "Access It!" written by Martha McGuinness and published by BE Publishing. They worked on teen-based MS Access activities.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I am a veteran teacher of 40 years and I've taught MS Office applications to high school and college students. Have used Excel in many aspects including assisting several business owners with their payroll as well as other business related projects.
Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is our email system in my school district. It is a free email service provided by Microsoft. It has many organizational tools to keep your email clutter free. Our school district updated to the newer version of Outlook but we've been using this system for several years now, so I am familiar with how it works. I email many times a day and use most of the functions provided in Outlook. As a matter of fact, I've trained many of my colleagues how to use Outlook.
Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint

I taught MS Office applications, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint to high school and college students. I also taught it to adults in night school as well as tutored many adults who needed workforce skills. I have done PowerPoint presentations to assist clients with their workplace projects.
Microsoft Publisher

Microsoft Publisher

I have taught Desktop Publishing for over 10 years and have used Microsoft Publisher for many projects in our class. Our students do real life simulation projects where they act as the Desktop Publisher for a company. Some of these include: Frillio's Pizza and Concert Tour both from BE Publishing. The skills taught include learning to use Publisher and Word effectively to design brochures, business cards, flyers, envelopes, letterhead, ads, etc. Page layout and design skills are stressed as well as working with graphic images, objects and elements used in graphic design.
Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows describes an operating system of computers. Currently, we work with Windows 7 but I've worked in past years with Windows XP. I've also been exposed to Windows 8 which is on my laptop. Our students learn how to operate the computers in general by becoming familiar with the operating system of their computer. We start out each computer class by reviewing this information.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

Taught MS Office to high school students, specifically MS Word, Excel, Power Point. I taught two levels of this class and students took the MOUS Word exam. I use Word all the time in my current online college adjunct job.
Proofreading

Proofreading

As a longtime teacher, I constantly assist students with editing and revising their work. Proofreading is a natural part of teaching and I have a keen eye for spelling, grammar and formatting errors. It's an ongoing process to ensure the quality of their work.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have a master's in Communication and currently am an adjunct professor at Bergen Community College. In addition, I am a retired high school teacher of 36 years. I taught business and technology classes where we did many presentations using public speaking skills. I've taught online, hybrid and in-person classes to high school and college students.
Reading

Reading

As a high school and college teacher, reading is a big part of student understanding and learning. It's an essential skill for success in education, work and life in general. My students read online as well as traditional textbooks.
Writing

Writing

As a Business Education/Computer teacher, my students write frequently in the form of letters, MLA reports, business memos and resumes. In addition, I am constantly called upon by friends and relatives to do their resumes and cover letters for job application purposes. Also, as an adjunct professor, I have my students write journals, blogs, discussion forums and lesson plans as part of the online graduate class that I teach.

Patient, extremely helpful, and loves what she does!

Mariechen is extremely helpful and passionate about her work. Prior to our first session, Mariechen went searching for various resources on her own time. She came prepared to each session with all materials she felt were necessary in helping me. While tutoring me for the Praxis standardized test, she was very patient. She quickly discovered and focused on the subjects that I needed the most work in, and provided me with many helpful strategies. I would highly recommend Mariechen to any student who wishes to improve their test taking skills.
