I have taught school for more than twenty years, both in Alaska, USA and in Ontario, Canada. I have also had my own tutoring business. I tutored children and adults in English. I taught students to read, write and speak English. I have helped many foreign students with their English. I have also helped students prepare for job interviews and write essays. I know how hard it is to learn a foreign language so I admire my students for doing this. I love teaching! In 2013, 2014 & 2015 were great years for my ACT & SAT students, with composite ACT score improvements averaging 8 points and SAT gains of 300-700 points, with my top student scoring a 2800! 2015's seniors have gone on to be accepted at SMU, St. Edwards, UTSA, St. Mary's, Texas Lutheran, St. Leo's, Texas State, UT and Villanova, with scholarships totaling over $500,000. I have a B.A. in English from University of Texas, USA. I also have my Ontario, Canada teaching certificate and I am registered with the College of Teachers in Ontario, Canada. I am a Reading Specialist and a Speech Specialist. I have taken many post-graduate courses in education, reading and speech. In terms of quality assurance, my strengths include: Mature vision and skill-set coupled with team-player attitude; exceptional research and communication skills; compliance with ethical and regulatory guidelines; deep knowledge of business, technical, and industrial practices within certain disciplines .
