I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Social Studies and all the subjects it entails. I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience.

I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves. I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations.

I believe that a teacher's adaptability is the most essential skill. A teacher's style should be evaluated as often as a child's progress. All people develop at an individual pace and style so it makes sense that information should be presented in a manner that actually communicates to each child. Coming from a special education background, it is my belief that every person has the ability to learn. Adapting curriculum for each student would be ideal. For special education this is called the individual education plan. Tutoring, supplemental education, and individual attention to students help to provide this specialized, possibly ideal, situation. Over the past fifteen years, most of my teaching skills have been in non-traditional settings. Providing education for diverse age populations in the area of community programs taught me a multitude of instructional strategies. In 2001, the l

My teaching style is more visual than verbal. Math and science are visual arts, meaning one must see and understand a formula before it is to be solved. In my experience, merely obtaining a solution to a problem is not learning, it is the journey from unsolved question to simplified answer is true knowledge. I have no formal experience in tutoring or teaching, however I was quite driven to achieve my goals in Nuclear Physics. My field has enabled me to gain a great understanding of math and science and how they are dependent on each other. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing countless research papers, theses, and laboratory reports, along with essays in other areas of study.

My first substitute teaching assignment was in a class of Autistic children. It was a great experience in that I realized how important patience is to the success of any teaching experience. Each step toward achieving a student's goals, whatever those goals may be, is to be savored. I enjoy helping students pursue their goals and helping them recognize and appreciate their opportunities to succeed. For the past two years, I have been a substitute teacher for the Clark County School District. My primary focus has been on elementary education, however, I am comfortable teaching all grade levels. My expertise is in English, grammar and writing. I have also spent a year prior to my move to Las Vegas, doing private tutoring in the Los Angeles area.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study. I am bottom-line oriented. The only measure that is important is the student's growth. I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar
