*MARK* My name is Mark and I teach ESL, American Sign Language, literacy, and Business English to all ages. I have taught for over 12 years in public and private schools here in the state of Maine, as well as the past five years online. I hold an MBA in Business Administration, BS in Marketing/Management, BS in Early Childhood Education, and teaching licenses for K-12 Special Education in the state of Maine. I also am a certified Special Olympics coach and have been a Little League, YMCA basketball, and Boy Scout volunteer for the past 15 years. My approach to teaching is student-centered, interactive, humorous, with a focus of long-term growth. I want my students to feel like each lesson is engaging, different, and a new experience for them. My background as an executive manager coupled with managing and leading thousands of employees, has helped me understand where students are now and what the best approach is to lead them to their goals. A random fact about me is that my grandmother taught in a one room schoolhouse here in rural Maine (included in her class were her six younger brothers). She has been my inspiration to create that type of atmosphere in my brick and mortar and online classrooms. We'll be a great fit if you are willing to try your best, understand that mistakes are an important part of learning, and apply your learning outside of the classroom. This is our classroom and I want you to be a partner in what our lessons look and feel like! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** MABEL ** I teach American Sign Language (ASL) o Deaf/Hard-of-hearing students whose second language is English, ages 7-17. I have been teaching for 24 years. I hold a Ph.D. in Educational Education with Specialization in Technology, a Master's in Literacy & Reading, Bachelors in Deaf Education (K-12), Physical Education/Health (K-12), Dance (K-12), American Sign Language Interpreter, and American Sign Language Endorsement (K-12). My approach to teaching is to remain with a teachable heart. Remaining with a teachable heart begins with humility. It begins with realizing that we're are not perfect and need each other. We as teachers are here to help by meeting the student where they are and differentiating the instruction to their needs. What got me into teaching was wanting to help others learn wherever I can. I fell into teaching when I was in high school, helping a fellow classmate who did not understand something the material, and I was able to help him. A random fact about me is I love Marvel heroes/heroines, anything ASL, and I could crochet all day and be very content. We'll be a great fit if we simply take one moment at a time, stay calm, take responsibility for our actions/learning, and have fun learning!
