The Bridge
About
I can provide a variety of teaching experiences and learning experiences from my time in the USA and abroad.
My extensive knowledge of communication and technical writing will help any student excel. I have over twenty years experience teaching in many capacities. I build rapport. I assess student formatively and summatively in every task. My approach is more organic. Skills should not be isolated from another because skills work in unison with strengths and weaknesses.
I am not an education clown whose role is to entertain students. I make classes intriguing and engaging, so you will learn what you need.
I think the most important aspect of my teaching is a holistic approach that addresses each student at their level from their cultural experience. Most teaching is from a white perspective, and I do not teach this way. I am socially just and culturally involved with my students. Having worked with individuals from nearly every continent and most countries. Thus, I have an acute awareness of common academic obstacles within each culture, to tailor my teaching style.
Eureka! This glint in the students' eyes when they "get it". I feel satisfied because I know I have achieved my objectives and the student has grown as a person.
