Vocals Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Port Hueneme, CA

Although I have worked mostly in Film and Television since graduating from University, I returned to the University of LaVerne in Athens, Greece in 2004 to tutor foreign students in essay writing and to help hem with their entrance exams. I worked there part-time (3 days a week) for 2 years. I continued tutoring 2 students privately for another year. In 2009 I tutored after-school English at DeAnza Middle School in Ventura for approximately 6 months. I am a very caring teacher. I love to use humor and encouragement in the hopes that the students will feel inspired to continue and flourish in their writing, even after our time together is over. I believe in children and their ability to acheive anything, and try to relay that message to them in a fun and patient way. I love to see the spark ignite in the eyes of someone who has achieved something they didn't know they could.

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and contribute to their global world. Students grasp the big picture better when ideas are linked across disciplines and connected to personal experience. Awakening knowledge in this way is my vocation. Interlochen Arts Academy unlocked the artist within me. Their educational styles and values continue to inspire me as an educator. Hope College and continuing education furthers me with a variety of tools to design curriculum. Versatility together with concentrations in both Painting and Clay, an appreciation for the liberal arts, diversified cultural environments, and vivid discourses have guided me to point out new direction

Concurrent with my course of study at California State University, Northridge, I worked as a teacher's aid and behavioralist at The Los Angeles Unified School District (Roscomare Road Elementary, Kennedy High School, Nobel Middle School and Colfax Elementary). During my tenure in these institutions, I experienced hands-on training both in the classroom and privately at homes with at-risk youth, children on the spectrum and neuro-typical students. Currently I work as a social worker with the homeless population in Van Nuys. This experience has challenged and strengthened my organizational, multitasking and pragmatic problem-solving skills. I am a visual learner who is aware of my space; I transfer this style in my teaching methods to create a specific pattern of learning designed to both stimulate thinking patterns and generate results.

I enjoy teaching children and helping them to reach their academic goals because all young people have the capacity to learn. My style is patient and steadfast, with an encouraging yet focused pace. The idea is to help the student discover and come to the answer on their own. I like to help them illuminate their own ideas, and then help to guide and shape them. I don't believe that any child is limited by their background or socio-economic status; every child can live up to their full potential if they're intellectually stimulated, supported and given the proper environment. I love seeing the light in a student's eyes when they "get it." I'm dedicated to the educational excellence of every student I work with. I come from a family that values education, and I've always used that to fuel my thirst for learning. An avid writer and reader, I earned my Bachelor's in Journalism, which I've a
