    English language arts, reading comprehension, writing composition and Speech 101

    I love what I do and I like to have a relaxed classroom environment where students of all ages may feel comfortable. Questions are always welcomed and if I don't have an immediate answer, I will make a note to get it for you by the next time we meet. Mistakes are expected in learning. This is where we hone our skills when we are able to correct mistakes. I have over 15 years of teaching experience in the public classroom.

    About Brenda W.

    I am a retired ELA instructor. I earned a Master of Science, Ed. from Walden University Online. While my main focus is on sentence structure and the correct understanding and usage of the eight parts of speech, I also teach reading comprehension and writing format and composition. I taught Speech 101 for 4 years as well. The teaching standard is SAE (Standard American English) I believe in building a firm foundation of understanding through demonstration and practice coupled with a complete explanation of skill sets. I realize that everyone processes information differently and at a different pace. Everyone who wants to learn, can learn. I am familiar with the theory of the seven different styles of learning which include: visual, kinesthetic, aural, social, solitary, verbal, and logical. I believe in my students because I believe in myself. With time and practice, anyone can achieve grade level proficiency and beyond.
