Fun Facts

I have fun in reading, studying, gardening and mowing the yard with my grandchild. I also derive fun in traveling to new places both domestically and internationally since it enhances my learning. It gives me pleasure as well to motivate and empower students and my grandchild to see their daily activities as sources and opportunities for discovery and learning.

As an organized teacher, I take interest in enabling students to plan their studies, and encouraging them to apply the organizational skill in all aspects of their daily life. I am well liked and easily accessible. I connect excellently well with students. Above all, I love what I do and get along very well with people.

dallas">Tutoring Experience: I have long experience in one on one dallas">tutoring both with challenged and regular students. The experience started in 1995, when I provided dallas">tutoring to individual students who were residents in group homes. I did that for 11 years. I also provided one on one dallas">tutoring for students who needed remediation in English Language during my student teaching for one year. Right now as a substitute teacher, I do dallas">tutoring daily. Recently, too, I have done private dallas">tutoring with a student in her family home. The dallas">tutoring enabled her to complete her school home-works, plan ahead in her studies and improve her scores in school.

dallas">Tutoring Approach: My dallas">tutoring approach is interactive. In addition the approach involves confidence building in students. I serve as a facilitator and enabler. I motivate and engage students to learn by doing. This means that students actually do their school works while I show them how to do them and that they can do them. I believe that students learn more and achieve more when they have the confidence that they can do so. My role is to enable that confidence in them that they can learn. This is my approach and it has worked successfully.
