TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Over 10 years' experience teaching in such diverse fields as: overseas as a Peace Corps volunteer, tutor in my own private company, public and private high schools in NJ, and in a university setting as an adjunct professor. I truly enjoy creative dynamic lesson plans that are exciting, interesting and diverse. If they intrigue ME, they will excite YOU and your students.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe styles and methodologies change with the season. I respect the material I teach, the time in which I live as well as the period from whence it came, and always, always consider my audience(my students!) and the time constraints I'm working under. If you work within those parameters, and if you remain open-minded, everything is possible. My Goal NOW is to provide reasonably priced, exceptionally researched and accurate materials for YOU so that you can save time, use these materials for years to come, and get back to what's really important, teaching and living your life with family and friends.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
