Experience Summary
During my career in the pharmaceutical industry, I conducted several training classes and often prepared all of the training materials and class content. Beginning in 1998, I was hired by Cuesta College of San Luis Obispo as a part time instructor. In that capacity, I have taught a variety of subjects including Accounting, English as a second language, Spanish, Italian, Quickbooks, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Computer usage for Senior Citizens, and Personal Income Tax Preparation. For four years, I served as a Spanish instructor for the GATE program of the City of Atascadero. For twenty years (1988 - 2008), I conducted informal classes in Spanish and Italian which were offered by the City of Paso Robles.
Teaching Style
My teaching style involves three major components, namely patience, preparation, and presentation. By being patient with students one can provide them with the opportunity to learn at their pace and to explore the areas which are of importance to them.
By preparing for teaching sessions and having profound knowledge of the subject one can be ready to answer questions and explain the subject.
By presenting the information in a clear and organized fashion, one can dispel mysteries and offer pathways to understanding.
