My comments on tutoring Speaking : There is a saying that goes like this-Open your mouth so I can see you. How we speak is just as important as what we say. I have helped my students become more comfortable with their speaking, both in English and other languages. I understand the fears of public speaking. I have performed stand-up comedy. I was moderately successful. Several of my business students were complimented on their speaking skills at various conferences they were speakers at. I know I can improve the speaking skills of most people.

I believe learning should be two way. Students should learn from a teacher and the teacher should be willing to learn from the students. My lessons are personalized to the student needs. My lessons are interactive.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. Having spent a lifetime in the business world, I have a more practical, down to earth, hands on approach to learning. Learning by doing is a Boy Scout approach to learning. As a Boy Scout Leader for many years, I recognized this teaching method, because this is how I learn. 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with all different populations and have adapted and altered my teaching styles to fit the needs of the pupil. I'm a firm believer in hard work and perseverance because it all pays off in the end and you will always come out on top. I believe a student’s environment can positively effect their performance and outcome, thus making me a great person to be around because I’m personable and approachable. I make it a personal goal to give 100% to each and every student and athlete I come in contact with because they are the future and I want to have a very bright one!

I recently graduated from University of Nevada, Reno summa cum laude. I was also my high school valedictorian. I have always excelled in school because I love learning and have great organization and study skills. Almost all of my work experience has been with students— from working as a preschool teacher to volunteering to tutor elementary school students at the Boys and Girls Club to advising high school students in the Upward Bound program to tutoring college students in the University Writing Center.
I have a friendly, encouraging approach with my students; I like them to feel comfortable working with me, but I also let them know that I have high expectations and that our tutoring sessions are not social time. My goal is to get students to understand the material and feel comfortable discussing and applying it, so my tutoring sessions are often very conversational. I provide ... read more
