Desktop Publishing is one of my top subjects! Expert+ I teach this at a college level. I use InDesign which is the industry standard. I have designed most everything possible: books, billboards, marketing materials, web sites.

I have taught college level design and desk top publishing classes since 2004. I have owned my own graphic studio since 1996: 509studio@gmail.com I have been teaching Math and Science to Middle School students since 2009. I presently tutor Math and Science. I have worked as a hospital lab technician.
I am passionate about teaching and spend most of my free time, creating curriculum that will excite and engage my students. I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to identify the strength of my students, as well as make them unafraid of their weaknesses. Only then, can a student and teacher begin a successful, working relationship. Student AND teacher must work at using all of our minds as much as we can. It is vital to become familiar with the way we think, especially our weak areas. Facing those and forging new pathways in the brain should be the goal of all of us.

My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : Adobe InDesign

I like one-on-one teaching, it's easier to evaluate what you need most. At first we just go over the basics and that includes the software features, then I like to give you a series of 5 new tips each class to practice and then integrate assignments as well, as I see how well you are progressing.
I have taught Graphic Design at Cuyamaca College, covering design elements and principals and covering Adobe Creative Suite applications. Instruction in layout, typography, photo manipulation, and illustration. Also, worked for 10 years as an in-house graphic designer, producing all types of print and online imagery. worked for 5 years as an illustrator for educational books.

My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : My art minor was in computer art.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

Often times, a person who is failing a subject might feel like a lost cause, that no one can help them. However, my belief is that all students are worth helping, that each individual has a right to succeed. Further, frustration can be a huge obstacle in the learning process. My approach is to slow down the process and identify the problem areas. Only then do we pick up speed in practicing homework/practice problems. In addition, I believe in a positive atmosphere for learning where patience, understanding, and positive criticism are all vital to success
As both a native of Chula Vista and a UCSD graduate, I have seen and experienced what it takes in order to grow up from a local teenager to a qualified adult ready to take on the world.

My most recent experience has been as an adjunct mathematics instructor at Southwestern College. I have also taught GED Mathematics classes for San Diego Community College District Continuing Education department. In addition, I have taught mathematics and science courses at the high school level and Computer Application Courses at both the college and continuing education levels.

I try to address individual differences in students' backgrounds and learning modalities. I am patient with students when they encounter difficulties and will repeat the instruction using a slightly different approach. I incorporate praise and recognition of progress in my instruction to provide e ... read more

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant.

I love teaching, my grandmother and my mother and uncles teach, I believe the children are exceptional thinking machines and the power of information delivered to them is a magnificent tool for their future. With the right attitude, patience, and most of all the right information delivered they can overcome many of the obstacles in their life. I like the interaction with children as they will always with their innocence make you see what as adults sometimes we forget; children can be so bright that the simplest thing for them can be the hardest for us as adults. I really strive to make a difference and having a teaching background in the family I believe strongly helps.
