Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Edwards, CA

My experience in the area of Graphics/Computer includes 6 years of teaching the mac programs to students attending a multimedia vocational institute. My work experience is many years as a graphic designer. My Fine Art training has been on going all my life. I have taught children and adults how to visually communicate what the are seeing through the unique art that they create. I have a studio/gallery in my home for this purpose. On the computer and graphics side my teaching style is to get you up and running as quickly as possible. It was a skill I had to develop during my 6 years of teaching multimedia student. My teaching style for fine art is to show the student how to get in touch with the art inside of them and allow it to come through their hands. It is less about the technique of painting and more about the creative spirit being tapped into and learning to trust what happen

My philosophy of education is to be democratic. All students have a voice in decision making. All students can learn. I encourage individuality and independence. Students learn through examples, modeling, and setting high expectations. I teach through discovery and a constructivist approach. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. Students will excel by learning new strategies and techniques. I work hard to make a difference in my students lives. As long as I can remember, I have loved education. Beginning in my backyard with my cat and dog to my brothers and cousins, I have been a teacher. I grew up to be a teacher and enjoy teaching and tutoring children. I completed my first degree and received my teaching credential in 1990. Recently, I completed my second Masters degree in Special Education and rece

My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market. I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.

Everyone can learn; and everyone deserves the opportunity to learn whatever he or she needs to successfully achieve his or her highest personal, social, and educational goals. Every learner is unique and deserves learning situations tailored to activate and engage their unique background and learning style. In addition, everyone has an innate desire to learn and the goal of education is to engage this desire for learning in ways that are personally relevant to each individual learner. When students are expected to learn and engaged with their innate desire to learn through differentiated instruction that meets their individual learning style, they will live up to the expectations presented to them. I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I

I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject.

I love teaching people of all ages how to become life learners. I believe that each person learned in their own way, and finding the method that works for that person opens a whole new world for the person. I am patient and easy going. I believe that it is important to build upon what the person already knows and understands to build their confidence in themselves and their ability to learn. By doing this, I try to make learning fun and leave the person with the desire to learn more on their own. I was a high achiever in school and continue to teach myself new things each day. I have and AA and a BBA in Accounting, and an Masters of Business Administration. Though this education, I have gained an understanding of math, accounting, business and human resources. I have honed my grammatical skills through numerous essays, and reports to the governing Board of organizations, government agenc

I have earned a bachelors degree in Psychology, passed the CBEST, and have about four years of work experience as a tutor. I tutored students, ranging from grades K-12, in various subjects, but mainly in Mathematics and Language Arts/Reading. Also, in a previous position, I managed after-school tutoring programs for both elementary and junior high schools at the school site, in-home, and public location/library. Education is extremely important to me. As an educator, I think it is important to not only share one's knowledge, but to be able to adapt one's teaching style for each student. Through my experience, I know it is important to have patience and be open-minded with my students. I enjoy tutoring and being a positive role model to all my students.
