Experience
I currently teach English as a Second Language to students primarily in South Korea via the internet and with a company called Homeschool Friend. I recently finished a 17 year homeschooling career--both of my sons are high school graduates, Eagle Scouts, Boys State of VA alumni and in higher education. Prior to home educating I spent two years in Christian Education as a Reading Specialist, two years with the Department of Defense, Quartermaster School, Ft. Lee, VA as an Education Specialist, and nine and one-half years in the public classroom in a variety of positions... 5th grade self-contained, 5th-8th grades English, and 6th-9th grades Title IX Reading Specialist. Tutoring is a natural extension of my almost three decades of working with and teaching young people. I very much like using the internet as I do with my Korean students and currently have access to a program that promises to be very flexible where the student and I could meet via the computer. It would save both of us gas and time, plus grant us access to a myriad number of resources.
