2. What is your subject matter expertise or interest? In other words, what do you do well and what are you interested in learning more about?
I am proficient in computer technology and elementary science. These are two topics I would like to learn more about. If I teach nothing else, either one would be suitable.

6. What would you like to accomplish by the end of this course?
I would like to be confident enough in my abilities to provide a client with some noteworthy educational or technological assistance.
7. What additional information would you like to share with me that may help to better match you with a client?
I am a settled, seasoned yet energetic, mature individual who is not afraid to learn new things in life. I am conservative, yet have a healthy respect for the younger generation as they will someday be running my government.
In addition, I have 11 years of educational experience at the elementary level (K-5). To my credit, I have assisted in workshops for other educators. Really, I prefer to teach adults as they are better listeners and actually want to be in the classroom.
