Experience
Experiences Tutoring began when I was a dorm proctor and athletic director at a boarding school in San Antonio. There were students who required help spelling and reading. Following, I taught Remedial Reading to students whose primary language was other than English and who had other difficulties reading. In 1977, fifth and sixth grade students studied Science using the "Scientific Method" and extensive laboratory work. We had a significant percentage of the entire school participate in the Science Fair. In 1980, I opened a self contained classroom for students performing more than three grade levels below the School district's standards My TASP scores, earned in 2000: READING: 248/230 MATHEMATICS: 250/230 WRITING: 240/220 I have continued my education by beginning studies in Curriculum and Computer Technology from the University of Phoenix. I feel that my experiences will enable me to instill a love of learning for the sake of learning to your child.

Hobbies
I participated in the Aquatics and First Aid activities of the Red Cross in Bexar County. I obtained an Amateur Radio license in 1966 and I am currently active. I qualified with the YMCA SCUBA course in 1975 and have about forty dives to about forty-five feet. I completed the Sylvan FAA approved written test for the Ground School, and I have about thirty hours of flying time. I wrote a syllabus for the University of Phoenix class to encourage students to study math and learn to fly on a Flight Simulator. These experiences will certainly enhance the time spent with your child while improving the academic performance.
