More About This Tutor...

I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring, teaching, and tutoring.
What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand the difficulties and frustrations that often accompany learning, however I believe that with the right positive reinforcements all students can overcome any hurdle and achieve academic success. In addition, these academic success are the kindling to creating a growing fire of self-motivation which can last a lifetime. I want to help all students in anyway possible to find the academic switch that inspires them to continue to learn and better themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a credentialed teacher who has had 22 yrs. of teaching experience, ten years in elementary and twelve years in middle school. I majored in English Literature in college and have taught seventh and eight grade Language Arts for 12 years. I specialized in teaching the honors students, but also enjoyed teaching grammar, writing skills, literary appreciation to all levels of students. I am particularly adept at teaching how to write organized essays without eliminating creativity. I love teaching language arts.
First and foremost, it is important to me and, especially for my students, that we have excellent rapport. I want to know their academic goals and what is most important to them as we establish our tutoring relationship. I do everything in my power to let my students know that I am there for them, that I care about how they learn best, and that I want regular feedback ... read more

I have always been passionate about language and thinking critically and I take great joy in discussing and sharing with others. From a tutoring perspective this means I am always energetic and optimistic because I enjoy the work. I am competent in my subject areas and organized because I like to make sure that time spent is time spent productively. But foremost of all my traits as a tutor is that I am entirely adaptive to a student's needs. Some students need a more professional teacher figure to work with, others need a peer or a mentor, finding that need and filling it is something I excel at.
During my time at Cal State Stanislaus, where I earned my bachelor's degree in English, I was selected to tutor other students because of my mastery of grammar and writing. I spent two years working for the University's Writing Center. I tutored ESL students and Freshmen on how best to imp ... read more

My approach to teaching begins with having a high expectation for what my students can accomplish. Therefore, my goal is, in part, to help my students love learning and to translate the love for learning into higher achievements. I try to inspire the students In terms of style, I explain the basic concept being taught and then illustrate by way of examples. I combine a bit of lecturing with meaningful interaction. Next, it is the students term to practice what has been taught. I may use a variety of interactive learning games in order to re-enforce the concept being taught. Somewhere down the line some for of testing is given for the purpose of checking to see if the student is grasping the concepts being taught.
