Retired Teacher

My belief is that all education can be related to the students daily life. Children learn best if they enjoy what they are doing or can see how they can use it today, not years from now. I taught elementary school math and I've been a volunteer tutor for elementary math and GED math. I have taught core subjects elementary subjects (k-8) since 1974. ... Read more

James
Jim W. English, Reading, ACT Prep
Since elementary school, I have taken a liking to the English language arts. I was initially drawn to this subject area when I realized that my skills in it came to me naturally. However, I am no stranger to the difficulty of learning something that does not click right away. For this reason, I love teaching students who find English concepts to be particularly challenging. Through my easy-going communication skills and willingness to be thorough when breaking down an idea, no concept will be... Read more
