Annette
Certified Tutor
I have taught for over 25 years in public school, international school, university, and home-school settings. At the middle and high school levels, I have taught mainly language arts and social studies. In addition, I've coached Science Olympiad and taught math, science, health, and more. At the university level, I have taught a variety of Education courses to teacher-certification candidates. Over the years, I have proctored and scored standardized tests, so I can effectively assist students with test-taking strategies. My favorite area of teaching is definitely writing, because I love helping students express themselves... but I enjoy teaching and tutoring a variety of other subjects as well. I can help students get organized, tackle projects, generate ideas, research information, and think critically. In any teaching situation, I believe that honesty and humor are vital to creating an environment in which students feel safe and are willing to put forth their best effort. I care about my students, and my goal, above all else, is to help them learn and be successful.
