I'm here to guide YOU to greater drawing and design skills!

I've been drawing and creating visually since age 4, and doing graphic design since I was in Jr. High, pasting together flyers with hand-drawn-typography and photocopied images. I have over 20 years of professional industry experience in the world of graphic design, and I've been teaching at the high school and college level for the past six years.
I really enjoy interacting with and getting to know people, and I like to infuse my teaching with stories and references to my life experiences, to history and culture, and to current world events. I'm easygoing and personable, and I have strong verbal and written communication skills.

Graphic Design is one of my top subjects! I am highly proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe After Effects, and Procreate on the iPad.

I have over three decades of graphic design experience, and I've been teaching graphic design at the college and high school level for the past 7 years, both in a classroom setting and in mentoring programs. I am certified in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign, and I have experience in Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Audition, Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator and Procreate (on the iPad). I am an expert illustrator and brand developer, but I enjoy all areas of graphic design, including print, digital, social media, web and app design.
I have a very relaxed, personal approach to instruction. I like to set clear expectations for my students as well as for myself and help them learn at a comfortable yet challenging pace. I'm skilled at putting highly technical information into very plain terms so that anyone can grasp them and put them to use.

My goal is to help prepare students to meet the challenges of the new millennium. I realize technology is, and will continue to be, a driving force in workplaces, communities, and personal lives; I want to reinforce the learning skills of students and bring them to the twenty-first century; It is important for students to receive a solid education. Students must actively learn skills that will help them be successful learners in the future; and as a tutor I’m aware of and sensitive to a students individual needs and as a consequence help students unlock their full potential.
My areas of expertise include Spanish, Math and English Language Arts; though, I have acquired experience providing 1- on -1 and in-home academic tutoring to students from grades k-12th in all subject areas. I have extensive knowledge, and skills working as a tutor for students under the No Child Left Behind ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

More About This Tutor...

After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance writing career. I taught for Loyola University, New Orleans, and two business colleges, and currently teach the composition, computer applications, and speech requirements for a local branch of Kaplan University -- a private business school.
At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must en ... read more
