"Over the past 11 years, I coordinated a Gifted Program and taught Gifted Children. Previously, I was an Adjunct Instructor at the College of New Jersey and Northampton Community College. However, prior to transitioning into teaching, I held positions in Marketing and Management. These experiences helped me learn to facilitate the learning process thereby helping others learn to achieve for themselves.

As an Educator, I have written research proposals, reviewed submissions for grants, and facilitated student achievement, while preparing students for state and national competitions. Nevertheless, my business activities’ including hiring, training, and managing employees clearly influences how I work with students. These experiences taught me to listen carefully, reflect on the problem, and provide a reasoned response to effectively achieve a goal.

My focus is on the writing process. Depending upon the age of a student, I will approach the process differently. For example, younger children tend to respond better to prompts related to their interests whereas a college student may be concerned about the best way to construct an essay for a particular class. I will adjust and provide material, recommendations, and/or a directed response that is appropriate to the needs of a particular student." less...
