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., Asia and South America, loving every minute of it. My training to teach English, reading and writing skills has spanned many years. It's my belief that great readers become good writers, and I know that I can help your learner become one too.
