I have spent the last 11 years in education after spending 14 years in the private sector. Education became my calling. I have devoted my career to working with young people and have not regretted my decision at all. In addition to working in the classroom, I am also a basketball coach, PA announcer for varsity football and varsity boys and girls basketball, and work in the athletic department as a site manager and scoreboard operator.

I have spent the last 11 years in education after spending 14 years in the private sector. Education became my calling. I have devoted my career to working with young people and have not regretted my decision at all. In addition to working in the classroom, I am also a basketball coach, PA announcer for varsity football and varsity boys and girls basketball, and work in the athletic department as a site manager and scoreboard operator.
My experience is at all grade levels, K - 12, except 2nd and 5th grades. However, the last 10 years have been spent in a junior/senior high setting working with grades 7 - 12. That does not limit the grade levels I work in. During the summer, I work in two summer programs where I teach students how to build, and launch, model rockets. Those grade levels I work with are those students going into grades 3 - 7.
My areas of knowledge include English, reading, and writing on the secondary level. I can also work with elementary students, at all grade levels, with those subjects such as basic math, reading, English, science, and social studies. I can also assist students with science, social studies, and English on the secondary level.
I invite you to contact me at your convenience to further discuss what I can do to help you, or your child if you are a parent. Or, if you wish, you can provide me with contact information and I will get in touch with you.
Part of my approach is asking my students thought provoking questions so they can think, using their heads, to come up with their answers. I do not just give a student the answer to a problem. As I did when I was a child, I instruct my students to work on, and improve, their problem solving skills. There is nothing more rewarding than assisting a student and watching the light go on inside their heads when they get it. I would like to apply the same methods to help your child, or you, to learn and to learn better. I also provide a relaxed, low key, but focused learning environment. I find that students learn best when they are not tensed up and stressed. Also, keeping an even demeanor and not changing personalities is very important. Students desire consistency and I provide that.
