More About This Tutor...

My original interest was teaching instrumental music. Although I changed majors and ultimately graduated with a BS in Computer Science, I have continued my interest in teaching, first by volunteer tutoring during college and later by helping adults learn to speak English. I eventually took an intensive summer course in teaching English to speakers of other languages, following which I spent over three years teaching conversational English in Central Asia. Upon returning to the States I worked for a few years for a literacy council, helping administratively and also teaching workplace English. I continue to play in orchestras and teach string instruments privately. I am in the process of completing a Master's degree in Teaching.

I have the ability to motivate learners so that they have fun accomplishing the goals set before them. But I am at the same time very task orientated and use a lot of behavior modification techniques in my approach.
After graduation from college, I entered the Peace Corps and moved to the country of the Federated States of Micronesia. I have lived in that area of the world for most of my teaching career. I have taught for over twenty years gaining experience on almost every l ... read more

I truly enjoy teaching and working with children. I have a deep-seeded passion for knowledge as well. I have exceptional patience and I am understanding in that individuals have different learning styles. It is my philosophy that it is the teacher's position to adjust to the learning style of the individual to ensure success.
Currently completing my Master's in Social Work with minors in Psychology and Sociology. I am an avid learner in all fields, with a passion for a number of social sciences (including philosophy). I have earned one bachelor degree, BA in Social Work, which has aided in my educational development. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last seven years, I have tutored students, including those with with developmental disabilities, through my work at soc ... read more
