I have been a professional educator since 1986. I have taught Navajos, Hopis, Apaches, Mexicans, Arabs, and in two Multinational Schools in Saudi Arabia and to princesses in the Diplomatic Quarters of Riyadh. I have taught from k-12, been an adjunct professor for two campuses, taught special education, and human relations in alternative school settings. English as a Secondary Language, Business classes, human relationships and special education have been my areas of interest. In additional I have tutored a variety of students.
A variety of methods are an important means to education as not all students experience the learning process in the same way. NLP, VAK, Multiple Intelligences, PACE system, Journaling, SuperLearning with Lazanov; relaxation tapes and tapes for particular learning needs I make myself for the students. I consider each student as "special" and work one o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My experience is primarily in college lecture classes. I also tutor college students one-to-one using the concepts that they are having difficulty with. I have also assisted ESL students with English grammar in their writing skills. I have taught courses which require students to write many papers and revise them as needed, so I have experience in assisting in the reading and writing skills. I have taught at the college (Hawaii Community College) and university level (University of Hawai`i at Hilo).
My undergraduate education was focussed on physical geography and geology (in which I hold a minor degree). I was involved with cartographic production and began learning the new field of remote sensing. I spent 1993-1994 in the southern African state of Lesotho where I was serving in the US Peace Corps. My interest is in a wide range of subjects, especially the interac ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

This is important stuff to learn, so I like to give an overview with specific examples on how this will apply in their everyday life. Then we go over the basics. My goal is to get the student to have a strong understanding of the material.
I have been teaching and tutoring people in computer usage for over 20 years now. I also used to teach computer programming in the mid 80's. I have a good understanding of mathematics and physics.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching/mentoring/tutoring style is tailored to the student. I do not believe their is a generic teaching style that will help all students. Most people I have worked with have difficulty understanding a couple of key points and once that obstacle is overcome learning accelerates until the next obstacle is reached. I strongly believe the tutor needs to learn from the student as well to successfully teach.
As a team lead I have mentored and taught younger team members for over 10 years in computer programming, planning, statistical analysis, budgeting, and mathematical computations. I have also taught them how to debug problems, test solutions, and how to successfully complete their tasks. I have over 20 years experience in a variety of fields such as Defense Industry (Department of Navy), Space Systems (Atlas V lauch vehicle), and commercial (Lockheed-Martin).

I have always known that I wanted to work with children and for the past 11 years, I have worked with children in various settings. I love teaching and enjoy seeing the light go on when something is learned! I am capable of delivering concepts in many different ways according to students' learning styles. I believe that teachers are capable of touching and changing lives. My goal is to be able to make a difference in my students' beliefs and lives. I believe that all students are capable of learning, they simply have to be engaged and given a reason to WANT to learn.
In college prepatory high school, I was on the Honors Math track which gave me intense training in high school and college mathematics as well as Upper level science such as Physics.

I have earned two bachelor degrees which has given me the chance to motivate other youths and kids to seek the world and don't let it end with High school. There is more to life. Granting that Education is the key to success and without education there will be no sense of direction.
I love working with kids. I believe that the kids are our future and if we adults don't help them grow up to be leaders and make better choices in their lives we will not have any sense of direction.

A Little Bit About Me...

In 2003 I traveled to India where I began work in a village in the South teaching English and Sociology to 4-11th graders. The experience was incredibly rewarding and was a wonderful vision into the complexities of education and culture. Due to this multi cultural experience I feel that I have a great skill in reaching students with multi ethnic backgrounds, and understand the discrepencies between written and spoken language.
I feel that in teaching my goal is to effectively reach all children. Individual care and attention are the most effective ways which I feel a child can be persuaded to learn. I take pride in being patient and think that every child has brilliance to show, they just show their skills at different and varying degrees.

My passion is to teach and work with students of all levels and ages. Being and ASL teacher I must be dynamic and engaging as the instructor. From my experience I have learned different ways to interact with students to keep them interested in the material. My overall goal, of course, is to enable the student to comprehend the course material in a way that they can understand and relate to. My teaching method varies on the individual I am working with at the time. I make the appropriate modifications to match the needs of the student and their particular learning style.
My career in education began while attending CSUN. I started as a paraprofessional at a charter school, and also was able to teach my own elective classes. I graduated with a BA in Deaf Studies, with a concentration in Language and Culture. After moving to northern California, I worked at a college as an ASL ... read more

I actually think I have tutored statistics at UCLA but cannot remember clearly - much of my tutoring has been in bits and pieces and volunteer or related to class work. In 2002 I taught a semester at Art Institute of California | San Diego. I wrote my own curriculum and taught four different classes in computer graphics (Adobe, Quark, Etc.) I tutored students after class hours. Other tutoring: I tutored Chemistry and English to ESL students in High School. I taught work skills (one on one) to the developmentally disabled (as part of a UCLA's Developmental Disabilities Immersion Project). My UCLA degree was slanted toward Psychometrics and Methodology and I did graduate level statistics at UCLA. I taught and tutored computer skills at American Express to the office staffs. In Hawaii I tutored my Hanai niece in mathematics. Currently I am saddled at the realty office as the "computer guy ... read more

I believe in empowering children. A child needs to know that someone believes in them. If given the opportunity to excel, along with the support they need to succeed they will settle for nothing less than excellence. I feel this attitude is what allows me to easily gain rapport and trust with youth. I am fun, affirmative, forgiving and yet a disciplinarian. My expectations are high but not unrealistic. I believe that what we get out of life has everything to do with the decisions we make. My goal is to help mentor students to develop positive choices that will lead to positive lives.
I entered college to earn a degree in Art Education. Like many students I changed majors and ultimately received a BA of Psychology in 1997. While attending Emmanuel College, I was employed in their Office of Admissions. I learned valuable training and was recognized as an outstanding Admissions Counse ... read more

Much of my teaching style I learned while at Apple Computer in one on one computer teaching sessions. I tend to be a very enthusiastic and encouraging anyway, but Apple taught me an additional patience and a lead-learning-out teaching style that promotes self-discovery and avoids simply giving answers. Though it is geared towards adults, I have since found that adapting the patent and deliberate pace of LLO teaching to the learning level of younger children is effective and fun for both myself and the student. To be less specific, I was born to teach. I have fun doing it, and my goal is that my students have even more fun learning than I do teaching.
Though I received my degree last June, most of my teaching experience came while I was still learning. In high school, I worked as a museum docent for after-school programs - at one point trying to convince 3rd graders that M.C. Esche ... read more

I like to incorporate heart when I teach. Every student is special and keeps teaching interesting. I believe in the ability of the learner and must help them find success. I am patient but firm. I know I am easy going and considerate and respectful of the students. I am a change agent in the lives of children. I am now a university student for the secondary school certification.
I have a wealth of experience in many different areas. I have a bachelor degree in Economics. I started to work with special needs children. This was on a volunteer basis and so I don't think I listed it on my resume. I then substituted in the public schools for elementary and secondary schools. I tutored in the community college to college students. I opened my own school and taught medical classes. I have taught ESL in South Korea for 3 years to kids and adults.

After graduate school in the summer of 2003, I taught art at the Pathfinder Ranch in Idyllwild, CA for ten hours a day for three months with a very limited budget. From 2003-2004, I taught on-line students and acted as an academic enrollment counselor for high school students and their parents at Laurel Springs School, a home school in Ojai, CA. In 2005, I lectured and taught a yearlong AP Art History at Thacher, a well known, highly respected boarding school in Ojai, CA. Finally in 2006 I was an AmeriCorps Literacy tutor working with students at Canalino School in Carpinteria, CA, run through the Santa Barbara County Education Office.
