As a Political Science major at the University of Southern California, and a current PhD student in the subject, all of my core classes focused on politics and government. In addition, as evidenced in my resume, politically I identify myself as an independent and have spent literally thousands of hours since I was in high school interning and helping campaign for political office-seekers or their rival incumbents. At times I supported Democrats and at other times I supported Republicans or Independents. I am well-versed in government and am an extremely capable and informative tutor in the subject. I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfec

I have a Ph.D. in Political Science/ International Relations from the University of Washington in Seattle (1995). Plus I have extensive experience teaching both at the high school and university level. This experience includes institutions in Haiti, Mexico and the United States. I am 100% fluent in Spanish and was born in Panama (also a US citizen). After teaching on military bases in Japan and South Korea on and off for the past five years, I need to be in the United States for family reasons, in Nevada. Until I decide what to do next, I need to keep working. Recommendations available from all employers over the past decade. I keep it interesting, mixing activities.

I am confident that I can help all of my students find academic success. I am patient, easy going and considerate. During my two years of graduate school in business journalism, I achieved high levels of education and field experiences. I had the opportunity to write and edit excellent newspaper articles and interview people from different cultural backgrounds on many subjects. I worked as an Associate Producer for CBS News, assisting several news producers and writers. After graduating, I wrote for a weekly newspaper that inspired and attracted the attention of people living in Queens, New York. I am able to speak and write Spanish fluently. I obtained a Certificate of Merit from the Clark County School District, Nevada, for completing their Alternate Route to Licensure training.

Graduating with a degree in History Education has been my goal since grade school. Through my various courses and work experience I have been able to gain a certification as a licensed teacher and tutor.

I have tutored consistently from Janaury 2001 through the school year ending in June 2006. I began tutoring on a volunteer basis in as a Literacy Trainer for reading-challenged adults. Thereafter, I tutored high school students preparing to take the SAT, grammar school students struggling with math and reading and most recently as part of the "No Child Left Behind Act." My strength is math, however I have boosted my grammar skills to align with the the needs of my students. There is nothing quite like the feeling of observing a breakthrough on the part of a young person as they overcome obstacles to learning. My style is gentle and always positive. I keep to a quick pace, never lingering too long in one area. I am well organized and take notes during each session. I do a lot of follow-up and review during each session to reinforce prior study. I am bottom-line oriented. The only

The way I teach is very simple. I explain my teaching style using the analogy of a mother bird teaching her baby how to fly. The mother guides her baby, teaching it, showing it the ropes of life, and when it comes time, the baby flies off on its own with no help. This is quite similar to how I teach and tutor children. I guide them through lesson plans and homework with a helping hand, and when it comes time for them to "fly," I let them go and hopefully they will understand the concept and be able to work individually. When this happens, it is truly an inspiring moment, to be there and watch children grow. Even before I graduated from NDNU with my teaching credential in English and social studies, I have tutored for several years in almost every subject. I have come to understand that each individual has his/her own unique way of learning.

I am a writer. I am not published, but I have learned a lot in the English language. My experience working with mentally ill kids a hew years ago is a great help. I want to help young people with reading skills. I think that I can do it. I am going to live in Las Vegas, and am moving today. I need work. I feel that I am qualified. I am not an extraordinary... teacher. I need a more ordinary student. I feel that I can help anyone read well... Initially I will be living in The Valley Of Fire. A child must understand what he or she is reading. It is hard to do, especially with the books that are out there. I feel I can impart some knowledge to a student. I can make him or her feel comfortable reading.

I love helping children learn. I am very patient and considerate. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that you helped someone. I believe that the skills we learn throughout grade school help us persevere later in life. When I was in grade school I had difficulty articulating my words and was placed into speech therapy. Looking back, I am eternally thankful for those mentors and teachers whom helped me succeed. I have obtained two B.A.'s within the past 6 years. I have extensive study in all subjects. My best subjects are math, science, and social studies. I have also studied the piano for 15 years and violin for 8 years. In college I became very interested in theatre and have extensive study in directing, stage managing, and construction. In high school I tutored middle school and elementary school students in math. I have worked as a teacher's aid in mathematics. In colleg

I have been a tutor throughout my undergraduate career. I have been employed by a tutoring service as well as independently. I have tutored all levels of high school Mathematics as well as most undergraduate level mathematics courses. I have 3 years experience in these various fields. My teaching style is unique. I make sure that students learn by doing, not by watching me do problems. As a student i always found that the most effective teachers used a style that allowed the student to do problems and ask questions. Today i put these practices to use in my tutoring. I believe that no child is a lost cause and that any child can learn given the right circumstances.

Of course it is the goal of the teacher to help the student learn the facts, terms, theories, and skills associated with the subject being taught. Through experience I've learned that the method of teaching will necessarily vary from student to student. Some students will need to be gently kept on task, while others will require a great deal of positive reinforcement. But with all students it is important to balance questioning/listening time, to clarify and explain if necessary, and to gauge the student's comprehension. I believe that we humans are born with an innate delight in learning (witness any toddler) and that restoring the feeling that learning is an adventure encourages and energizes students. When considering a major area of study in college I was pulled between my two loves- Art and English. Though my ability to draw and paint suggested Art would be the natural choice, my

I have an extensive background in Mathematics. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland College Park. I have experience tutoring in advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT preparation. I feel I have sufficient expertise in Physics, Biology, and History to tutor in these areas as well. In my tutoring experience, I have worked with a wide variety of students at different learning levels. The teaching style I employ is tailored to the needs of each individual student. With mathematics, I emphasize an understanding of the key concepts underlying individual problems. I have also found that positive reinforcement is an effective tool for helping students who may be struggling with the material.
