I received my Bachelor of Education degree from Drake University where I majored in Educational Psychology. I also possess a Master of Business Administration degree. After spending a few decades in the manufacturing sector, I decided to come back to the field of education in order to contribute to posterity. I consider education imperative for future success, and my return to the field of education is a way of having a positive impact on tomorrow. Besides tutoring, I presently teach reading and writing at a major college. Additionally, my experience in the teaching field includes having taught middle school English in a Charter school. I also taught students in the Department of Juvenile Justice Services of a large municipality where I tutored students who had been arrested and had dropped out of high school. I taught and mentored these students, which culminated in them receiving a high school diploma from the state. One of my specialties is preparing students for critical tests. My concentration is in teaching English with an emphasis in writing and reading. My expertise includes teaching grammar including sentence structure, organization, and mechanics. I also concentrate on style, writing an essay, revising, and editing. My reading experience includes interpreting and analyzing informational text and reading literature. Moreover, I assess and teach student needs in comprehension, vocabulary, fluency prosody, and fluency accuracy. My hobbies include reading, jogging, kayaking, scuba diving, and playing the guitar.
