About
I live in Tennessee. I first moved here in 1981 from the Marshall Islands, Micronesia. More recently, I moved here from Los Angeles, California. I like to travel. But I like being near my family even ... more, so I live in Tennessee. My hobbies are Planetary Science, reading, writing (I am working on a book), and meeting people from all over the world.
My tutoring philosophy is this- everyone learns better when they're having fun. I like to use the Internet for lessons, and I have been teaching/tutoring English subjects (like ESL, ELA, Literature, Reading, Writing, and Phonics) for many years.
I used to have a hard time learning, when I was a child. Then I got glasses, and I learned VERY easily from that point forward. But I still remember what it was like to have a very hard time learning, so I can empathize with students who are struggling.
We'll start each lesson with a smile, end each lesson with a smile, and have fun learning!read more
