I am highly proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe After Effects, and Procreate on the iPad. I have a very relaxed, personal approach to instruction. I like to set clear expectations for my students as well as for myself and help them learn at a comfortable yet challenging pace. I'm skilled at putting highly technical information into very plain terms so that anyone can grasp them and put them to use. I have over three decades of graphic design experience, and I've been teaching graphic design at the college and high school level for the past 7 years, both in a classroom setting and in mentoring programs. I am certified in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign, and I have experience in Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Audition, Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator and Procreate (on the iPad). I am an expert illustrator and brand developer, but I enjoy all areas of

I am extremely patient when I tutor, due to my 2 siblings and various other friends and students I have helped in the past, and I have accumulated well over 400 combined hours of tutoring time since 2010. I am always glad to go over any material as many times as needed until there is a comfortable understanding of the lesson by the student. It is my goal to teach them a new way to learn and approach material so that they may become more confident in the subject they're learning.

As a trained graphic designer proficient in the standard set of programs as well as some common alternatives, I can help with learning the basics of these programs to get you set up for anything. We can work through specific projects or discuss general rules and practices of the art. Am experienced with a wide range of applications- web design, app mockups, logo and icon design, pamphlets, flyers, invitations and advertisements, book covers, t-shirt design, business card and resume creation, etc. Try me! While I can create targeted exercises and a more structured class, I'd rather be that friend who's a wiz and always has an answer. I will give honest feedback as to your progress and while I can provide solutions to specific projects and difficulties, I'd like to do it in a way that can apply to many problems you could run into in the future. I've learned a lot of tips and tricks that I

My goal is to help prepare students to meet the challenges of the new millennium. I realize technology is, and will continue to be, a driving force in workplaces, communities, and personal lives; I want to reinforce the learning skills of students and bring them to the twenty-first century; It is important for students to receive a solid education. Students must actively learn skills that will help them be successful learners in the future; and as a tutor I’m aware of and sensitive to a students individual needs and as a consequence help students unlock their full potential. My areas of expertise include Spanish, Math and English Language Arts; though, I have acquired experience providing 1- on -1 and in-home academic tutoring to students from grades k-12th in all subject areas. I have extensive knowledge, and skills working as a tutor for students under the No Child Left Behind Act pr

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.

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

In order to move forward in an academic subject, let’s first see where the student is in their understanding of the subject. Perhaps the student's mind is filled with a patch-work of facts and concepts that, together, simply do not make sense. In such a case, the leap from basic memorization to higher-level thinking such as analysis and problem solving will be difficult. But rather than bore the student with things too basic, let's apply what they already know to the unknown. Like any explorer, it becomes fun & exciting to explore the subject; to use one's imagination and creativity to solve surprising problems; to build confidence and interest. Once things click, I’m happily out of a job! With my managerial and marketing experience honed with such firms as IBM, McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing), American Express and Atlantic-Richfield, combined with my MBA, I can lead a student fr
