I LOVE reading and writing! and helping children of all ages to be better readers and writers . . . the key to everything. I suppose my love for writing began as a young student myself. I read all the time and began writing short stories, poems, and even lyrics to songs I created. I've been a teacher, Principal and educator 50+ years, [I know, I started young], an online Tutor for seven years teaching reading and writing [and math] to students in the U.S.A., Africa, Asia and South America, loving every minute of it. My training to teach English, reading and writing skills has spanned many years. I have taught English to elementary, middle and high school learners as well as Adult and G.E.D. learners. It's my belief that great readers become good writers, and I know that I can help your learner become one too. I have a BA in Psychology, an MA in Education, Special Education and post-graduate work in School Administration. I've taught learners from the ages of 4 to seniors in urban, rural USA, Africa and South America, as well as ESL classes to children and young adults in China and a few other countries. I've taught special needs students as well as gifted learners. Simply put, I LOVE teaching!
