My comments on tutoring Geography : Know location of every nation in the world, recognized and not recognized.

Taught, substituted, and assisted teachers at TASIS, The American School in England. Communicated with mostly international children in high school and junior high age groups. Succeeded in building respectful friendships and trust while maintaining professionalism at all times. Enjoyed working with kids, I would definitely do it again.

Geography is one of my top subjects! Human geography from the #1 ranked program in the country for Ph.D.-level study. Expertise in Economic Geography, Regional and Spatial Analysis, Migration and Demography.

I want students to see learning as fun, and an on-going process, not just a process of memorizing facts and figures.
I am an ex-professor of Economics and Economic Geography, and taught at Texas A&M University-College Station, Illinois State University and Pepperdine University - International MBA Program. I am also the former Senior Economist for The TCW Group, Caterpillar, General Motors and Warner Bros. I specialize in Economics (international, development, trade, agricultural and natural resources).

If you don't like the results, I haven't done my job.

I won the state championship in the 100 meters and went to Adams State College in Alamosa CO. Broke a leg in track and received withdrawn F across the board. Left college and healed up. Went to the Army two years and reserve three years. Came back and picked up the quickest degree possiable. Moved to Hawwaii, three years. Became a ciritified dept of defense government contractor. Furnish and deliver contracts. Ended up moving back home to Albuquerque NM. I started working in the Indian Casinos for 13 years. I bought a house and retired. But now I'm tired of sitting around.
All I do is tend to my students needs. I'm personal. Like to get off track with my students and lead them back to the point.

My comments on tutoring Geography : One of my two minors was human geography. I completed courses in physical geography and oceanography as well.

I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.
Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent the last 4 years in a classroom setting and I enjoy working with elementary aged students. I have just completed my teaching credential at San Diego State and have been substitute teaching in the Cajon Valley Union School District, as well as at a Charter School in the San DIego Unified School District for the past year.
I believe in making sure I have complete focus from my students, that way I can make sure they are getting all of the information they need to succeed. I love adding in some fun and excitement any time I can. I want my students to have fun and succeed at the same time.

Civil Engineering Tutoring Made Easy

Very hands on and simplified.
I am a Graduate Student at San Diego State University obtaining my Masters in Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering while working full time as an engineer for a private firm. I graduated from San Diego State University in 2011 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, after switching from Aerospace Engineering, and 2 minors in Physical World Geography and World History. I enjoy tutoring/teaching, and can give students a very real perspective of the current teaching methodologies and subject matter. I tutored right after I graduated, before I passed my E.I.T. certification.

My comments on tutoring Geography : I have always taught cartography and geography when teaching History.

I believe that my eclectic background, coupled with my ability to establish a genuine rapport with students of all ages and nationalities, make me a viable tutorial candidate along with my dedication to the teaching profession, my patience, empathy, and my high standards for my students.
I have considerable experience (20+years) teaching Spanish, French, ESL, and Social Studies to all ages and leels of students in the United States and overseas along with writing, designing, planning, and implementing curricula to meet the individual needs of my students ranging from physically, emotionally and learning challenged to advanced placement.

I make learning interesting.

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.
I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects.
I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly.
Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good t ... read more

I believe every student deserves to learn and succeed. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. In recognizing that each student is an individual with innate talents and their own learning style, a teacher needs to customize teaching techniques to accommodate for that. I am patient and considerate, and passionate about education. On an individual basis I aim to foster positive relationships with my students. I am committed to instill in each student the desire to learn and accept challenges so that they will be prepared for a future beyond school walls.
During the past nine years I have been teaching 7th to 12th graders in a WASC-accredited private school on a one-on-one basis. Beginning as a math teacher, I have also branched out to teach all social studies subjects as well as fine arts. Early on, it was my pleasu ... read more

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win.
I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program.

A Little Bit About Me...

I accepted tutoring assignments from another institution over 20 years ago. I recall bringing a young man from a "D" to a "B" in a very short period of time, and my most rewarding experience was with a young lady (today an accomplished attorney) who won a Coca-Cola essay scholarship I helped her with. I have been in a managerial role with my employers for over 20 years, and the role of a manager is to teach/mentor/train on all levels.
Since I am not a teacher by training, I believe my key to educating is to strive to understand the motivation or fear that is blocking progress. Once engaged, my experience is that the individual will be successful. My leadership style is to lead by integrity. This means honest and direct communication and delivery on commitments. I share life experience stories and lead by expample. I set clear expectations and provide the knowlege/training to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

All students have a variance in their learning style but I have found a cognitive apprenticeship/constructivist approach is a good style to start with. I show the student how to accomplish a task, then we accomplish a similar task together, and finally, the student shows me how to accomplish the task, with my guidance if necessary. This way, I really learn how the student thinks and comprehends information. All students need extra help sometimes. I happen to be a guy who loves to provide that help.
I first began tutoring at a middle school when I was earning my bachelors degree at San Diego State University in the mid 90s. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to pursue a career in education. After spending a year or so as a long-term substitute, I ventured into computer graphics for quite a few years. Eventually, I came back to the classroom to teach ESL to adults as well as Sixth G ... read more
