I am currently teaching English and ESL at CBU, English and ESL at STCC, Instructional Design at Concordia, but also do some teaching other places. I teach at Lemoyne Owen College, and I am a retired public school teacher. This semester, I will have some day time hours for tutoring!

I teach art, music, ACT Prep, psychology, sociology, reading, ESL, just to name a few courses. I also teach at STCC, and for Concordia Portland, graduate school.

If you need help with those final papers, I can help. Currently, I teach English full time, and I teach part time at several colleges. I teach writing, literature, and technical writing. I am certified in English and a professionally licensed teacher. My specialties include writing and especially writing for publication.

I have lived and taught in the Middle East. I am also an ESL teacher for grades one through twelve and at the college level. I also tutor in math and science for the ACT. For those with writing needs, I can offer much support, and I have years of experience teaching developmental writing at the college level. If you need one of the following: English tutoring, AP test prep, college composition help, technical writing or other publication help, and to include publication for dissertations, I would love to help.

Approved Subjects

Anthropology

Anthropology

Anthropology is a subject unique to its own design, however some our best understanding of people and culture comes from anthropology. I am currently writing a research document on the culture of inner city sudents and the effects of perceived human value found in such a culture. In addition, and more specifically, the concept that is so very interesting is how we learn to value some and not others. You may find many research studies on the unique values in a culture. For example, a small group of citizens in a norther province of China do not have a system of marriage. This is a wonderful study to help us understand the manner in human value and roles are established. I would like to work with those studying anthropology.
