Experience
My Experience includes almost 20 years of teaching writing and English at the university level. I have taught international students, American students, ESL, undergraduate and graduate students. I have tutored 4th and 5th grade children as well as adults. I have worked with a high school student on an extensive novel for over 5 years as she developed and revised and extended it. She is now a university student and still works with me on creative work. I love teaching and helping students succeed in their goals and love doing it, too! I like to use creativity in my teaching approaches and believe that if a student is motivated by me then the learning is pleasurable. I work with students' school needs and also try to come up with a new way to make the subjects interesting. I have raised two children who went on to graduate from Art School and Law School, so i have worked with the development of children in my own life. My teaching has focused on teaching writing both to international students with a variety of majors, including science and engineering, to creative writers.

Hobbies
I love music and movies and creative projects. I like to write poetry and I like to talk and learn about people. I have lived in Europe, Hawaii, New York and California. I truly value multiculturalism and I am interested in language at all levels. Creativity is important to me in my life and in my teaching. I have worked to create digital media projects and interactive assignments in my teaching and tutoring. In my summer work with a fourth grade boy, he wrote a 10 page book based on research into black holes and created a short video of another story about DNA. I believe in having fun in life and being intellectually challenged. I love to learn new things and I like to work with technology. I like children, teenagers, college students and adults! I like people and I love helping people succeed in their dreams and goals.
