A Little Bit About Me...

I have been developing teaching programs for various studies since 1979. I have also prepared and made many presentations to professional groups on various topics. I have also provided educational programs for private clients for many years to suit their needs. I have taught business law in a classroom setting. With respect to math, I had enough math credits at Georgia Tech to be certified as a math instructor in the State of Georgia and have instructed project and field engineers and my children on math principles. My preparation, review and analysis of business and legal reports and issues; presentations, teaching, schooling and life's experience over the past 40 years have given me the skills to teach social studies and English.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a diverse background who loves teaching and learning. I’m ready to help you excel at your studies, especially in the sciences, English, or math. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College. Whitman strives to give students a broad-based education with a strong foundation in oral and written communication. With my major in Geology, I have the experience to help a high school student in calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics. In college, I helped a fifth grader with reading and math skills. I was also an academic adviser, helping fellow students with editing, study skills, and course counseling. Currently, I lead educational kayak tours in Kealakekua Bay. I’m ready to help make learning fun!
My passion for the outdoors informs my teaching style. I think that experience and discovery are the best ways to learn and try to give learning e ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my Master's program at UCLA, I was exposed to different ways of teaching and believe that students learn in a variety of ways. I am open to trying different approaches and methods with students in order to utilize the most effective means of ensuring that students are learning and retaining new information. I prefer to establish a positive rapport with my students and to create an environment in which they are comfortable and willing to take risks and make mistakes during the learning process. I have always felt that a good teacher can be crucial to students' success both inside the classroom and in the outside community as well.
I recently graduated with my Master's degree in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley, and earned my first graduate degree in 1997 at the University of California at Los Angeles in Education. I taught 2nd grade in a biling ... read more

My strategy to learning unknown subjects is very close to the same way children learn to walk, by immersion. Everything we learned as children was assimilated through watching, mimicking and attempting. I believe personal experience and learning are very close and in teaching I try to keep that in mind. I find myself a very visually inclined learner and utilize that to help others learn, such as drawing or watching videos. I have found that audio learners do well when given analogies and kinesthetic learners do well with drills or acting out what they have learned all to mimic what their learning so that it might sink in better much like how when we learned to say our first words.
My college experience was unique to the learning community. Instead of theorizing and contemplating what lives the subjects we studied were living, we lived amongst those most only read about. In additi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned two bachelor degrees which has given me the chance to motivate other youths and kids to seek the world and don't let it end with High school. There is more to life. Granting that Education is the key to success and without education there will be no sense of direction.
I love working with kids. I believe that the kids are our future and if we adults don't help them grow up to be leaders and make better choices in their lives we will not have any sense of direction.
