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

During high school I attended a special program, Health and Medical Occupations Academy, developed for students who wanted a career in the medial field. My high school classes were oriented towards the medical profession. In addition I was required to take anatomy/ physiology, biology, and several nursing classes. I am currently a 2 year medical student. Before entering medical school I worked voluntarily for an orphanage in Mexico. During my time at the orphanage (about 4 years) I participated in tutoring the children, of all ages, with school work and English. I have worked with small children to adults, teaching English and school subjects. I work best with pre-teens- adults, however have no problem teaching small children. Tutoring is important for me because many times during my educational career I have needed tutoring myself, in regards to language barriers.

As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach students that others cannot. I don't ever attempt to mold the student to fit some preconception but rather help the student discover their strengths and deficiencies in such a way as to make their study less daunting and less mystifying. In this way the student will become a more successful learner. After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of

Teaching and tutoring has always been a passion of mine. I have always believed that every person is capable of understanding and learning, provided the right teaching method is used. I am patient and take the time to teach my students the subject at hand--mostly using logic and analogies as examples. I usually quiz them as I teach, always assuring they understand and not moving forward until everything is well understood. When one method doesn't work, I try another method. I don't ever give up on my students. I know they can learn. It's just a matter of how, finding the right method, and applying it. I graduated from the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business with a degree in business administration. I majored in International Business and Finance, with a minor in French.

Since knowing I wanted to teach my junior year of high school, education has been my passion. I went on to Sonoma State University where I earned my BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Kinesiology (PE).

Since having my credential I have had the opportunity to work with students ranging from kindergarten to college level. I have done this by being an in classroom teacher as well as an out of classroom tutor. As stated I have a Multiple Subject Credential, but specialize in Math up to Geometry, and Reading.

I am returning to teaching after years in sales and marketing and now find I have a burning desire to help young people. My teaching career is varied- I have taught very diverse student populations, and age groups from Kindergarten to College, finding benefits at every stage of development. I was trained by some of the top people in the education field to diagnose and remediate many basic learning problems in reading, math and language. Currently I am teaching remedial reading at a local community college and have received high marks in peer and student evaluations. I love to teach and my students tell me that it shows. I like to evaluate the student to see where they have strengths and weaknesses and how they best respond to instruction. I take skills and break them down to small pieces, to give the student a feeling of success and mastery which can propel them to strive a

I am warm-hearted and intuitive. I will listen carefully to what you say about your tutoring needs before I look at the work you are doing and offer my analysis of how you can make your language stronger, clearer and more persuasive. I have raised two children who have financed their college educations through scholarships. What I learned from them is that learning is best when YOU do it. I can guide your steps and give you feedback, but everything in between will come from you, and that is exciting! We will be a winning team, you and I! Working with hundreds of college students to improve their writing, from academic essays in all subjects to college applications puts a big smile on my face. When they report to me that they received 'A' grades or acceptance to the college of their choice, we both know they have sharpened the tools which will energize their futures. I have written e
