I recently retired from a sales career and have a keen understanding of communication styles, organization and goal setting. The skill set between sales people and teachers are remarkably similar.
I am a solutions driven person. My goal with any student will be to first identify why they are not succeeding.

Now this may turn a lot of people off, but I confess to not believing in Global Warming. However I lived through the Seventies when you could not see one side of Los Angeles from the other due to Smog. I am a big believer in husbanding resources and applying considered solutions to Environmental problems. Ecology is an understanding of Harmony and how the physical world is interdependent and balanced. This understanding is the way I would approach a lesson plan on Ecology.

I have been active in politics at the grass roots level and have long been an ardent student of American History. I can help a student understand the web of interactions that cause a
