Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in California City, CA

My experience in the area of Graphics/Computer includes 6 years of teaching the mac programs to students attending a multimedia vocational institute. My work experience is many years as a graphic designer. My Fine Art training has been on going all my life. I have taught children and adults how to visually communicate what the are seeing through the unique art that they create. I have a studio/gallery in my home for this purpose. On the computer and graphics side my teaching style is to get you up and running as quickly as possible. It was a skill I had to develop during my 6 years of teaching multimedia student. My teaching style for fine art is to show the student how to get in touch with the art inside of them and allow it to come through their hands. It is less about the technique of painting and more about the creative spirit being tapped into and learning to trust what happen

My teaching style is very goal-oriented, yet flexible enough to accomodate a variety of methods. Some students learn best from lectures, other learn from visuals while some are much better at hands-on instruction and correlations/representations. Each student has boundless potential; it is up to a knowledgeable educator to help that student unlock their potential and soar. I have had to opportunity to travel to many places in the world, and have found that no matter what the culture, children are so very similar in their thirst for knowledge. They just need a motivated and understanding educator who can relate to them on their level while encouraging them to "reach beyond their grasp!" For the past 18 years, I have held various instructor positions in both the Active and Reserve components of the Army, providing instruction in such areas as Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Surgical Techn

Children are amazing artists due to the fact that they don't censor themselves creatively like most adults tend to do. I teach, instilling confidence through positivity and constructive criticism. I encourage children to experiment and discover their own style. I teach the basic fundamentals as well as the techniques of painting and let the children find their own unique style. Turning a blank page into a work of art shows that something beautiful and imaginative can be created through each individual. I believe everyone can be an artist if they put in the time and dedication. I teach children they must believe they can accomplish anything they set their mind to, which I believe to be very true. I have successfully acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Painting from Central Washington University. Last May in Seattle, I submitted and displayed my work at an art

My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market. I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.

My philosophy of education is to be democratic. All students have a voice in decision making. All students can learn. I encourage individuality and independence. Students learn through examples, modeling, and setting high expectations. I teach through discovery and a constructivist approach. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. Students will excel by learning new strategies and techniques. I work hard to make a difference in my students lives. As long as I can remember, I have loved education. Beginning in my backyard with my cat and dog to my brothers and cousins, I have been a teacher. I grew up to be a teacher and enjoy teaching and tutoring children. I completed my first degree and received my teaching credential in 1990. Recently, I completed my second Masters degree in Special Education and rece

I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I have recently completed a Master’s Degree in Cross-Cultural Education at National University where I maintained a 3.9 GPA in my graduate studies. My capstone project on the effects of test-preparation strategies on English language learners was one of the most rewarding projects I have completed and I strive to put that knowledge to use to help students do their very best on high-stakes standardized testing. To continue forward with my learning I am now enrolled in an Educational Technology certificate program through National University as well. Everyone can learn; and everyone deserves the opportunity to learn whatever he or she needs to successfully achieve his or her highest personal, social, an

I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject.
