Hello, I am certified in NY- K-12 reading and ENL, 7-12 business and social studies, K-6 all subjects. I have a Masters in English as a Second Language and an MSW along with a PhD in strategic leadership and administrative studies.
I have taught ESL at the elementary, high school and community college levels to adults from fifteen countries. For ten years I have worked as a professional writing tutor one to one and online to students 18 to adults going at a community college. Many adults are going back to school to be retrained. I engage students by discussing, questioning, and asking them for their input. We work on brainstorming together, developing a thesis, for essays in physical therapy , lab reports, English and any other subjects. I have recently done private tutoring for the SATs. I know a little French and Spanish and enjoy learning about other cultures.
I have traveled to over 50 countries Italy, Spain , Slovakia, taught government officials at the Prague Castle, Israel, Haiti, Cameroon, India, Puerto Rico. I was in the Air Force and Army. I volunteer with Red Cross.

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have had ten years working in the writing center at the community college. This is one on one instruction but I have done groups also. In addition, I have taught writing and reading at the middle and high school. At the college we go through all the steps in the writing process. We begin with a thesis. I have a sample thesis I use and then I allow students to practice writing a thesis on a topic which they choose. I am always asking them to tell me what is their understanding of the assignment as most often they do not know. After we clarify what they are supposed to do we move on to the 'how' in other words how can we give evidence to support our thesis.
