TEACHING EXPERIENCE

10+ years teaching wonderful students at the intermediate level. Previous experience in retail and manufacturing.

MY TEACHING STYLE

We believe that higher order thinking comes from a good understanding of foundational skills. We are no frills and no fluff...but plenty of good stuff! If you are like us, you find the textbook assessments lacking in preparing students in a timely fashion. Time is the one thing teachers can't waste, so we make my own worksheets and tests to meet our needs. They have been very effective in preparing our students for year-end assessments. We hope you agree and will give our products a try!
