TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been a teacher for more than twenty years; I have also worked in corporate America as an editor and proofreader for national publications.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am a facilitator more than a lecturer; as a result, my role is to set-up and interact then allow students to learn through their assignments. My assignments are research-based anticipatory, high-interest integrated interactions, and performance-based.
