Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I am so delighted to meet you! 😀 I am Ms. Lori and I have been teaching inside and outside of the classroom for many years.
Having been a sociology and English teacher since 1994, I am thrilled to be offering classes in sociology, grammar, all forms of writing, reading, and literature, including the life and works of William Shakespeare. It is my goal to help students build their confidence, better see their potential, improve their school performance, and develop life skills as well as a joy for learning. 💪🏻
Because, in one way or another, we are all students for life; other classes that I offer focus on student and work skills. These classes will provide tips and techniques to effectively listen, take notes, study, and take tests, as well as use Google and Microsoft Office programs like Word, Powerpoint, and Excel.
Through the years, I have taught students from elementary school to adult learners at a variety of skill levels. I cherish my time teaching. I love the look on a person's face when they master a concept or skill. I am cheerful, attentive, and energetic, and have a passion for helping students build their own excitement for learning.🤩
To prepare for this amazing career, I earned a bachelor's degree in education from Central Michigan University in 1994. I continued my own educational journey by completing a master's in educational leadership from Saginaw Valley State University and acquiring several certifications in technology. Throughout the first 22 years of my career, I gained valuable experience teaching in a public high school. For the past six years I have broadened this experience by teaching both American and Chinese students using various online platforms.
When I am not teaching, I love reading, writing, nature, animals, working with flowers, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and learning about what you love to do.
See you soon! 🙋🏻♀️
