My comments on tutoring Graphic Design : Good knowledge of Adobe Photoshop CS5, not proficient in Adobe Flash or Illustrator!

Modern Age, Cutting Edge and Detail Oriented plus Fun!
I'm a average web designer who is completely self taught. I think that for that reason I would be able to connect more with the students because I didnt sit in a classroom and have a teacher. I learned at a slower rate but I got to choose which fields in webdesign I wanted to focus on. In a college type setting your required to follow the same study path that all the other students are on. Which makes learning your favorite style much harder. I can provide a per student curriculum of study which will bring a positive and fun take on the world of web design which is made even more cutting edge by my age. A 33 yr old can teach someone how to make a modern unique website. A 60+ yr old tutor will only show how to build boring run of the mill websites! :)

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human circulatory systems, shining a light through a leaf reveals veins similar to our own and is more apt to draw the student into the subject. When appropriate, I ask the student to teach me.
In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writ ... read more

Read More About Mark B...

I present the information or concepts at hand in several different ways. I draw on the learners personal experiences to make the information or concepts relevant to them. I help the learner tie the information or concepts to their own knowledge base thus establishing ownership.
I tutored for the Federal Way, WA campus of DeVry University from spring of 2007 to fall of 2008. I tutored students in English, multiple maths, programming, game design, logic, and test prep. I stopped tutoring to devote my time to the final project of my degree. Now I'm an independent video game developer tutoring to make "ends meet" while I'm working on my first commercial game project.
