I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high and use the support from their peers to help them achieve their goals. I have no one set teaching style, I get to know each student's learning style so that they can benefit the most from the tutoring session. Through patience, respect and dedication, I work with students so that they can achieve their goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a seasoned professional with over twenty years of experience divided among the fields of law, educational recruiting, and teaching at the college level. After completing my bachelor's degree at USC, I earned my law degree. Because my passion is literature, I opted to teach rather than pursue a career in law. I was offered a position heading up the remedial studies program at the Art Institute in Santa Ana. This position afforded me the opportunity to teach and tutor students who were struggling with their English skills. I also served as an adjunct professor at Brown Mackie College, where I taught students pursuing their associates degrees in paralegal and business.
I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' ... read more

I have earned a BA in Criminal Justice from American Military University, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas such as math and language arts. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. I have tutored both of my sons in math and language arts.
I love teaching and working with all children. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe firmly in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a natural teacher, and my experiences reflect that. For example, I am currently working my way through CSU Palm Desert's multiple subject credential. However, the open position I am applying for requires an “Adult Education Writing Tutor”. As a student and professional, I have had many, many opportunities to hone my writing craft. For example, as an adjunct to my recent studies, I took the Masters "Writing 101" class, which instructed me (among other things) in the finery of APA format. While my in-class performances certainly indicates my ability to write at the graduate level, it is also my professional teaching experience that I believe will convince you to allow me to deliver your services: I possess valuable experience working with students, having several years of small classroom leadership (and one-on-one instruction) with adult learners.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is modeled after the Princeton Method, which is the way that I was taught to teach tennis. The Princeton method focuses on the positive. So instead of saying "don't skip the hesitation for a period mark", I would say "remember to hesitate in between sentences".
I started teaching tennis to juniors at the age of 16. I enjoyed that very much. For close to 10 years I taught at a country club in Connecticut. During my time there I did not focus on winning, but our record went from 0-7 to 7-0. I attribute this to the power of positive teaching. After I completed Loyola University MD, I went into B2B Corporate sales, where I was successful, but my passion remained with teaching. Recently I was a PE Coach at a school, and I started an after school program for tennis and golf for the children.

I have taught and tutored undergraduate science students extensively as part of my Masters degree, in diverse biological and genetic fields. I have taught and tutored elementary school reading, science and math as part of a comprehensive home school curriculum.
My teaching style is geared towards the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student and their ability to absorb and learn new information in the specific format optimized for learning. Incorporating the love of learning new ideas and concepts in a child's life will expose the child to a wide array of opportunities ins his/her future academic development.
