Microsoft Excel Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Twentynine Palms, CA

As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed me to gain knowledge about the basic maths and sciences as well as about people. Moreover, through my college experience, I have extremely sufficient grammatical skills due to the numerous research papers I have written. Since high school, I have mentored 4th and 5th grade students in reading and math, taught Girl Scouts life skills, and assisted many peers in studying the areas of communication disorders and psychology. I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students understand.

I believe that a big part of teaching is listening and observing. Not every student learns the same way, so it is important to be patient and try to understand what works best for the student. In many cases, examples are helpful in learning. Examples that are tailored to a specific student (e.g. drawing correlations to cooking for measurements, or sports for averages) can be a great basis for understanding concepts. I have done classroom teaching and one-on-one teaching. I prefer the one-on-one approach because it is so effective, and so satisfying for myself and the student when progress is made. My first tutoring experience was in high school, assisting other students in Algebra. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BS in Computer Science. After college I worked at an insurance company as an IT Training Advisor. My primary responsibility was

I am a very kind hearted person who believes every child can learn. I am patient and caring and I believe in positive reassurance as a way to encourage learning. I have found that the most important aspect of teaching is to inspire the student by setting an example. I find this especially appealing because I feel that it is important for a student to want to learn. I strive to not exclude any child or prevent learning in any way. I want to help children find the best way for them to learn based on their specific capabilities. I want my students to gain independence and be able to enjoy learning. I can make a difference in a child’s life by being an exceptional influence as well as a knowledgeable educator. I am a recent graduate of California State University San Bernardino. I have a BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. In my previous jobs I have been quickly pr

Fair, firm and consistent are my mantras of classroom management. In that, I believe that all children deserve a safe, clean, engaging, yet structured environment in which to meet their full potential. I firmly believe that learning is a team affair, and practice the standards of cooperative learning. For the past year-and-a-half, I have worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Palm Springs Unified School District, acting as the virtual teacher of record in dedicated classrooms on several occasions. Inherent in that experience, I developed lesson plans and graded student work, as well as liaised with parents and administration. I am versed in the California Content Standards across curriculums and have passed my CBEST, as well as my CSET.

As an CSU-Pueblo senior engineer student, I know how hard some math classes could be. I have successfully passed all my math courses and I am one more class away to get my minor in it. I have helped students in the last 2 years with their math/Spanish courses. Students needed help in the beginning of the semester due to bad grades, through the semester I helped them to successfully improve their grades and review for every exam. I love tutoring and working with students. I believe that students are capable to achieve and to learn whatever they need if they put an extra effort in their studies. I have learned that every person has different study habits, some things work for someone and others don't. As a tutor I try to find the appropriate technique to help the student in the subject they are having problems with.

During my four years at Colorado State University, I tutored high school and college students in math and spanish. I also taught spanish to elementary school kids. After I graduated, I worked a part time position at Pueblo Community College as a Tutor/Lab Assistant. My most recent tutoring experience was working for Doctrina Tutoring (a San Diego, CA based tutoring company) this past school year. I tutored students from grade K to 12 in the areas of math, language arts, and spanish. I always wanted to be a teacher, but ended up being an engineer. I enjoy teaching in general and tutoring is a way for me to practice teaching. I enjoy tutoring kids and teenagers and be a mentor for them. I'm easy going and knowledgeable of the material. I like to be dynamic in my sessions to get the student's attention when they are tired and don't want to pay attention. I'm patient, responsible, and ve

As a student at ITT Technical Institute, I received a hands on education in computer programming and software applications. I graduated at the top of my class, achieving Highest Honors (4.0 GPA) for Fall Qtr. 2007, Winter Qtr. 2007/2008, Spring Qtr. 2008, and Fall Qtr. 2008. I also received Honors (3.5 GPA or above) for Winter Qtr. 2008/2009. I am proficient in Visual Basic, C++, C#, Java, Java Script, .NET, Adobe Dreamweaver, and HTML/Web Scripting. While learning each programming language, I completed multiple projects and designed various small programs both individually and in a team setting. During my education, I showed myself to be a team leader and a good tutor for those students who were struggling. Since I was a child, I have always had a natural tendency to teach and nurture those around me. I am, and have always been, an extremely detailed, patient person. I enjoy help

I have always had a deep passion for teaching others. Knowledge is power. It means a better job, a better understanding of the world we live in and it makes for better relationships. My desire is to empower people to help bring out the best in them. I am patient, understanding, and am able to teach students in a simplified way. Nothing is more rewarding than when my students eyes light up when they grasp deep concepts, especially when it is something they have struggled with for years. That is very rewarding to both student and teacher. I am proud to say that I was able to graduate "Summa Cum Laude" with a grade point average of 4.0 during my Masters and Doctorate college years and "Magna Cum Laude" during my bachelor year. I have gained a greater understanding of English,along with how to write essays, outlines, and how to do an extensive amount of research. Over the last 20 years, I ha

My teaching style is designed to first assess the student’s needs for assistance. Next, I develop teaching plans designed to help the student learn the material and prepare to be able to demonstrate their ability to successfully show they have mastered the needed material. I stress doing rather then memorizing. I have both an MBA and a BS in accounting. I work for Arthur Young & Company for over 20 years including 8 as a partner. I am a CPA and also hold the designation as a Personal Financial Specialists [PFS] from the AICPA. I have taught accounting at the Community College level and have recently completed courses toward a limited subject teaching credential at Cal State San Bernardo, Palm Desert Campus. I have also served as a tutor for high school students.

My teaching style is modeled after the Princeton Method, which is the way that I was taught to teach tennis. The Princeton method focuses on the positive. So instead of saying "don't skip the hesitation for a period mark", I would say "remember to hesitate in between sentences". I started teaching tennis to juniors at the age of 16. I enjoyed that very much. For close to 10 years I taught at a country club in Connecticut. During my time there I did not focus on winning, but our record went from 0-7 to 7-0. I attribute this to the power of positive teaching. After I completed Loyola University MD, I went into B2B Corporate sales, where I was successful, but my passion remained with teaching. Recently I was a PE Coach at a school, and I started an after school program for tennis and golf for the children.

For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students. Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of human reso

At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must end in success and praise. It also helps that I have a good sense of humor and a knack for discovering each student's personal interests and melding those into the lessons. It's imperative instruction be individualized, positive and patient. After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance writing

As one of the few women to be admitted to a well known university in China, based upon my academic abilities, I was chosen to teach University students in the foreign language department for one and one half years. In the past twelve years I have worked in the International Banking arena for foreign and domestic banking institutions. During this time I advanced through the banking ranks to supervisor positions dealing with the various banking laws of each country wherein international transactions were processed on a daily basis. I wish to use my skills as a multi-lingual Asian to teach others as my native country is one of the largest foreign traders with America and the world. Having taught individuals and classroom students, I feel confident that my skills with all ages will benefit both the student and myself.

I enjoy mentoring others and giving them the benefit of my knowledge and skills. I have always had a "thirst" for knowledge and enjoy sharing with others. I believe that learning is best accomplished through gaining an ability to analyze a problem logically and following a proscribed methodology to solving problems. I received a very basic but thorough education and believe that if we focus on giving students solid skills that we can then stimulate creativity and investigation. We need to ensure that each student gains the confidence that he/she can learn and grow and succeed. I have spent all of my career in Information Technology, in positions from programmer to Vice President. In most of my projects, I've mentored and tutored others in many different areas. I have outstanding written and verbal communications skills. I've taught in Jr/Sr high schools (math) and also in Communit
