Typing Skills is one of my top subjects! In high school, I took my basic keyboarding classes and learned how to operate microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, etc. I was also always one of the fastest and most proficent typers in all of my classes.

In American Sign Language I was raised learning English along with American Sign Language so I could speak to both of my parents. As my dad is hearing and my mother has been deaf since birth. Once my parents divorced I moved to Texas with my mother and step-dad, who is deaf as well. Being in an all deaf house American Sign Language was my only way of communcation with my parents. I am extremely fluent in Sign Language. I would also interpert for my parents if needed in multiple places and multiple situations. I am not certified but I have been around sign language longer than many interperturs have. As for typing skills, I have always been a proficent and fast typer all throught school. I always finished my keyboarding exercises first and know how to work any Microsoft program, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I also type without looking at the keyboard. And for the kid tutoring, I w ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe that all students can achieve academic success, even in their least favorite subjects. However, everyone learns in different ways with sundry motivations. Many students require some one on one time with a qualified teacher, who will both identify the student’s learning style and adapt their teaching style accordingly. I also believe that a student’s confidence in their abilities will play into their success. A skilled teacher will tailor lessons and feedback to build on skills a student does have, instilling confidence and encouraging the learner to meet the challenge of complex topics.
With over 17 years of teaching experience, I realize the impact that one on one tutoring can have on a student. My classroom experience includes secondary math and English, and my tutoring experience includes basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2 with trigonometry, SAT prep ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Over the past 15 years I have had variety of different teaching experiences. I taught literature as a TA at UC Santa Barbara while studying for my Masters. I have tutored K-12 students in both Math and English. While studying for my undergraduate I assited in running a homeless shelter where I taught many of the children reading, writing, and math. I have a passion for teaching and am a mother myself and understand the true value of educating our youth.
It truly depends on the student and the subject. I try to adapt my teaching style to what the student needs. If one approach is not working, then we can work together to find an approach that does. I believe that it is important for the student to be able to relate to the teacher and it is the teachers job to create that connection.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that a big part of teaching is listening and observing. Not every student learns the same way, so it is important to be patient and try to understand what works best for the student. In many cases, examples are helpful in learning. Examples that are tailored to a specific student (e.g. drawing correlations to cooking for measurements, or sports for averages) can be a great basis for understanding concepts. I have done classroom teaching and one-on-one teaching. I prefer the one-on-one approach because it is so effective, and so satisfying for myself and the student when progress is made.
My first tutoring experience was in high school, assisting other students in Algebra. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BS in Computer Science. After college I worked at an insurance company as an IT Training Advisor. My primary responsibili ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 10+ years of teaching experience from high school to college level courses. My experience includes a bachelor degree in Accounting and a master degree in Health Services Administration. My experience also includes 20+ years experience in daily business. My teaching experience includes substitute teaching at the high school level, instructor positions at area trade schools, and instructor/adjunct professor assignments for college up to graduate school level coursework.
Teaching is about helping students understand why answers are correct. "Just because" is not good enough. When the student asks, "Why....?" That is the moment to teach the concept that they will remember. Education has to be fun. When a student is engaged and having fun they want to learn and learning becomes easy. At times it is important to break material down into pieces that the student can h ... read more
