The world would be a boring place if all of its people were the same. I believe each individual is socially, academically, emotionally, cognitively, and creatively developed differently from others. Some children perform better in social relationships than at written language and this is where people like me come handy to improve and help develop some of these academic domains. I believe people learn through direct experience and that an educator should focus on an individual’s needs, so a constructivist approach is my teaching style. I am patient, a good listener, who embraces diversity and is attentive.
Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like mysel ... read more

Educating students and helping them succeed has been a passion of mine for ten years now, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations.

I am a natural teacher, and my experiences reflect that. For example, I am currently working my way through CSU Palm Desert's multiple subject credential. However, the open position I am applying for requires an “Adult Education Writing Tutor”. As a student and professional, I have had many, many opportunities to hone my writing craft. For example, as an adjunct to my recent studies, I took the Masters "Writing 101" class, which instructed me (among other things) in the finery of APA format. While my in-class performances certainly indicates my ability to write at the graduate level, it is also my professional teaching experience that I believe will convince you to allow me to deliver your services: I possess valuable experience working with students, having several years of small classroom leadership (and one-on-one instruction) with adult learners.

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.
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".

More About This Tutor...

I am a seasoned professional with over twenty years of experience divided among the fields of law, educational recruiting, and teaching at the college level. After completing my bachelor's degree at USC, I earned my law degree. Because my passion is literature, I opted to teach rather than pursue a career in law. I was offered a position heading up the remedial studies program at the Art Institute in Santa Ana. This position afforded me the opportunity to teach and tutor students who were struggling with their English skills. I also served as an adjunct professor at Brown Mackie College, where I taught students pursuing their associates degrees in paralegal and business.
I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' ... read more

As a United States Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with local youth in a Fijian village over the course of two years. I created a study groups based on education level and subject matter for the young adults living in the community. I focused lessons on English reading and comprehension, effective writing skills, algebra, calculus, and basic science. Working with youth from another culture and in a foriegn language forced me to gain strong interpersonal skills, innovative ways to tutor students, and the patience to work with students to achieve their academic goals.
I worked with students from the age of eight to eighteen. Each age group provided its own set of challenges and opportunities to strengthen my experience as a tutor. I worked with children in small groups or one-on-one, based on the child's learning style. I encouraged the children to set their academic goals high ... read more

I modify my teaching style to reflect what works. Children are all different and the same explanation or example will not work best for everyone.
I taught horseback riding to children ages 7-16 in an outdoor education environment. Although academic tutoring is of course different, the principles are the same.
