I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning. As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others.

Private tutoring with local students, professional tutoring with the San Dieguito Union High School district for two years. I helped middle through high school students work through subject areas they found difficult, as well as focusing extra attention on special needs students. Subject areas include Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, History, and English. Very communicative. I first build a basic rapport with the student, seeing what methods of teaching could work well for each individual student. Some students need slower, more exhaustive coverage of the material, while other students understand the main concepts and just have specific questions that I can help them with. With all students I tutor, I strive to create a friendly but professional relationship so that students can feel comfortable with any questions they may have.

During my college education I worked for a high school as a teaching assistant. At this school I was able to teach and help students with their various assignments from various subjects. Sometimes the teacher would allow me to teach the math portion of the class because he knew I was capable. I have always been great at math and have tutored many people in various levels of math from college algebra to calculus. I have even tutored in English. I feel very comfortable teaching any level of Math. Most people have a fear of math, and I feel that everyone is capable of learning the material. It depends on the amount of time that one dedicates that will determine whether they will understand the material. My approach to teaching is to go step by step and not cutting any corners. I teach my students to take the time to go through every step to condition them into doing it correctly. My method

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. There's never a dull moment, because the children are learning at different speeds and it's exciting when each one latches on to a concept.

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner. After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of
