Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Copenhagen, NY

I love teaching. I always get well prepared before I sit down with someone. A couple of hours of preparation beforehand can make the difference between a tedious, unproductive experience and one that encourages the student and makes the excited about learning. I try to help with sticking points and not to lecture. I have discovered that people tend to remember answer to their questions and if I try to explain a deeper meaning it will only bore them and make them less interested. At the University of Illinois at Chicago I earned a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering and worked as a teaching assistant for three sememsters of graduate school. After leaving the university I tutored former students from my labs in math, science, engineering, and programming. I did this as hobby. I enjoy working with students. I am currently helping someone working on a master's degr

I have been in the human resources field for more than 15 years. Throughout my career, training has been a key component. I have a keen understanding of the different ways people learn, I know how to connect with a learner, and I excel in teaching both technical skills and soft skills. Again throughout my career, I have coached managers and exept-level employees in writing performance appraisals, memos, and disciplinary actions. I have helped them create effective and gramatically correct bodies of work. In addition, for three years now I have taught religious education to young children, where I have applied my same principles and expertise. Because I have been teaching "Situational Leadership" for quite some time, I am able to quickly judge what type of learner an individual is, and I can adapt my teaching style to their learning style.

I engage students by using my energetic, charismatic personality, to inspire them to follow my lead. I also give them personal attention to prove to them that I care. I introduce material using technology and discussions, then reinforce learning with real world examples and groupwork. I show students that learning/school can be enjoyable and doesn't have to be a job. Students quickly find that they enjoy coming to learn from me

You can preach all you want to children, but if you don't teach, there will be no learning. I believe that children will learn from someone they trust to talk to and from someone who they trust to give them the correct answers to their questions. I enjoy being that person. I like being the person who will sit next to them, talk to them, and help them out. I do not want to be the person across from them speaking without any word from my students. I am teacher who provides my students with energy to succeed. I want to keep their attention for as long as I can on the given criteria, boring or not. Sometimes all someone needs to succeed is a little bit of help and who am I to not offer it to them? I have taught in many areas of study. Since I was young, I taught my younger family members the importance of manners, honesty, care, and responsibility. I believe this has carried into my real-li

I am familiar with writing research papers and I am knowledgeable with the APA and Chicago Style of writing. I love English and the way in which words can create pictures in our minds. I am relocating from New York to Minnesota in the Spring of 2010 and I am thrilled to be given an opportunity to return to my favorite passion of teaching and empowering others to become lifelong learners. I feel that one of my strengths is my creativity towards learning. Not all people learn in the same manner, therefore my teaching style depends on the person I am working with. Some people learn best through rhyth

Since receiving a Bachelor's in English and Writing, I have developed many diverse skills in addition to those I learned in school. While working as an editor for a publishing company, I was able to hone my ability to write and communicate clearly through the written word. I have also studied music and art from a young age including such subject areas as piano, voice, flute, cello, ceramics, and photography. I have also worked in many environments that required knowledge and use of math skills.
