A Word in Season Education Services is a New York-based company that offers academic research and tutoring services in humanities based subjects.

A Word in Season Education Services was founded in the 1990s originally as a venue to showcase poetry in a video format. Over the years A Word in Season has undergone several incarnations as my career grew; new skills and talents were developed along the journey.

A Word in Season Education Services serves adult students from local community and cultural centers located in New York. Using a distinctly innovative approach, A Word in Season Education Services assists prospective GED and ESL students to enhance their reading comprehension and writing skills.

In the future I hope to form a partnership with the New York City Department of Education offering specialized art and history tours especially geared to inner-city Junior High, High School students and College students.

My Services

A Word in Season Education Services offers a specialized creative writing curriculum utilizing art and photography within New York City museums to develop students’ critical thinking and literary skills.

I bring a wealth of academic excellence as well as a proven record of teaching. I first began teaching as a co-founder within a small community based company “Dreams Never Die” from October 1993 until July 1994. My partner and I specialized in software training for adults returning the workforce. Our classes were held in the Rochdale Village Community Center. This experience revealed to me the joy of teaching.

While I was employed at United Way of New York City I conducted training on CARES (Community Access to Resources) proprietary Information and Referral database for both internal and external clients. I was an instrumental part of the marketing team responsible for marketing, promoting and training staff of CARES donor, the Human Resources Administration of New York City as the city transitioned its welfare centers into workplace centers. I also conducted Internet training for United Way staff development and developed a guidebook staff could refer to after training classes.

I'm concerned about students and adults who need tutoring or remedial education to improve and enhance their writing abilities. Many people of all ages are not knowledgeable regarding the social aspects of history and its impact upon all Americans.


I’ve developed a curriculum where students will learn to develop better ways to communicate ideas and concepts using the written word. My courses use artwork readily available in local/regional museums in order to gain valuable insights on how art and history connect.  Curriculums in development include, How to Read a Painting, Black Men as Heroic Figures in Art & Literature, and How Women are Depicted in Art.

I graduated with a BA in English from Marymount Manhattan College in 2002. I currently work at a major cultural institution where I have mastered the art of customer relations and gained extensive knowledge on various types of art, specializing in paintings.

I'm currently in the process of starting my tutoring and teaching business.

I'm also creating a presentation based on old family photographs dating back to the Civil War. I'll be giving my talks at local cultural institutions within the neighborhood.

 

I'll be teaching a creative writing class at York College in April.

 

One of my current goals is to move to The Bronx by June, July or August of this year.  Too cold and snowy to move now plus I'm in the process of raising money for my move. Moving to the Bronx will put me closer to my job at the museum, cut my commute and give me closer access to all educational and cultural events that take place in Manhattan. Also many of my friends who currently live in the Bronx have offered to help me navigate the boro once I get there. To this end below is my latest fundraising effort.

 

OPEN HOUSE – Rochdale Village BUILDING 8 SECTION C, on Friday, January 21^st from 2pm until 7pm and again on Saturday from 2pm until 6pm and again if needed on Saturday Jan. 29th from 1pm -- 5pm.
