Desktop Publishing is one of my top subjects! Expert+ I teach this at a college level. I use InDesign which is the industry standard. I have designed most everything possible: books, billboards, marketing materials, web sites.

I am passionate about teaching and spend most of my free time, creating curriculum that will excite and engage my students. I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to identify the strength of my students, as well as make them unafraid of their weaknesses. Only then, can a student and teacher begin a successful, working relationship. Student AND teacher must work at using all of our minds as much as we can. It is vital to become familiar with the way we think, especially our weak areas. Facing those and forging new pathways in the brain should be the goal of all of us.
I have taught college level design and desk top publishing classes since 2004. I have owned my own graphic studio since 1996: 509studio@gmail.com I have been teaching Math and Science to Middle School students since 2009. I presently tutor Math and Science. I have worked as a hospital lab technician.

My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : Pre-Press and Desktop Publishing for 25 years

Initially I work with a student to determine their strengths. I then guide them to build on those strong points while adding new elements and challenges in order to keep the learning process enjoyable and constantly evolving towards enhanced skill levels
Commercial Arts: My commercial art background includes extensive experience in marketing, graphics, the print industry, and online site design and development. I have strengths in concept design with targeted results. I have a pre-production print management background gained from six years working in the pre-press industry and a mid-sized agency background with a wide variety of clients. I have also served as an art director/project manager for two large corporate communications departments. I’m continually developing new technology skills to meet the demands of the electronic communications environment. Comprehensive backgrou ... read more

My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : Adobe InDesign

I have taught Graphic Design at Cuyamaca College, covering design elements and principals and covering Adobe Creative Suite applications. Instruction in layout, typography, photo manipulation, and illustration. Also, worked for 10 years as an in-house graphic designer, producing all types of print and online imagery. worked for 5 years as an illustrator for educational books.
I like one-on-one teaching, it's easier to evaluate what you need most. At first we just go over the basics and that includes the software features, then I like to give you a series of 5 new tips each class to practice and then integrate assignments as well, as I see how well you are progressing.

My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : My art minor was in computer art.

As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.
I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant.

More About This Tutor...

Persistent and patience with the student, foundation first for the material. . Especially with math, higher concepts won't be "grasped" unless the lower ones are mastered. Also, I find that doing any math at all for most people improves grasps on new concepts, so I'm never afraid to take a step backward if it means 2 or 3 steps forward. I also teach and encourage liberal use of Logic in problem solving. All of math is simply problem solving, and teaching good thought processes through meta-cognition and careful phrasing goes a long way. I believe that everyone can do math, and concentrating on how the mind can logically arrive at mathematical conclusions makes math a discovery rather than an exercise in learning a foreign language.
At UCR, I was a "drop-in" tutor. This means that for hours of the day in a room with 6 chalkboards, I would teach math to any UCR student who wanted to ... read more

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects.
I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly.
Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good t ... read more
