My comments on tutoring Literature : Along with studying American and foreign literature for years, I have tutored students in the intricacies of literature. Most of the best novels ever written have been written by people we have never heard of because they were marginalized by society because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many worshiped the "wrong" God or had the "wrong" skin color or chose to love the "wrong" gender or were of the "wrong" social status or class. Such authors who wrote amazing novels and plays but who were ostracized during their lifetimes and still became famous were Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams, Walt Whitman, T.S.Eliot, Truman Capote, and Virginia Woolf, but the vast majority of timeless literature was written by perfectly "normal" people. If I am granted the privilege to tutor you in Literature, we will not only read the material, but dissect it, examine each line closely to try to get into the mind of the author, and attempt to write some material as close as we can to that author's style and composition.

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-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was impressed enough to buy a substantial stake in the company and is a current partner.

I have mainly worked with children depending on the school's curriculum, to help them understand and advance in numerous subjects. I am willing to help adults and children just the same. I believe that as long as there is an interest, there is a chance for learning and success, no matter the age.
Given that I was born in Lebanon, with French influence over the country's educational institution, I grew up learning both French and Arabic at school until I reached college and began broadening my English language skills. I have given many private lessons while at college in French as well as in Math. I have recently tutored my cousin's daughter in numerous school subjects as well. I love languages and I am in the process of learning Russian and possibly later on Chinese. I know from experience that the best way to learn a language, apart from books, is through direct contact with a na ... read more

While teaching heavily depends on the teacher to teach a subject I also allow students to find their own way while I teach.
I have been successful in the field of sales and received the Million Dollar Round Table award in 1980. I have raised two sons. One has gone on to higher education and received a degree in Engineering. I wanted to teach Special Education primarily because my oldest son became schizophrenic in his late teen years. I was a substitute teacher in California while getting my undergraduate degree and my first masters degree. I got my Masters of Education in special education: emotionally disturbed students. I love teaching people. Adults and children.

Creating Independent Learners

My experience dates back to when I was in high school in the early 80's tutoring students and family members. I've also taught classes on Management of Aggressive Behavior / Appled Non-Violence to mental health professionals throughout the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding communities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I find it a joy and a privilege to be able to help people reach their full potential. I have found that teaching using hands on projects, along with visual and auditory stimulation has proven to be successful. I think that students learn in different ways I analyze each students learning style and develop a curriculum to fit their needs.
After graduating college, I began working for a non-profit agency, tutoring kids with behavioral and substance abuse issues. There I tutored students in grades 5-12 in all subject areas. In 2006 I began working for the Clark County School District as a substitute teacher. In April of 2007, I began teaching for CCSD Adult Education Department. I currently teach Independent Studies and GED Prep. I am a teacher for all subject areas.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that each child learns in his or her own way and you, as a teacher, must provide opportunities for all students to learn. I believe teachers must be flexible and willing to change plans to accomodate the needs and interests of the class. I believe that children need to be given a good foundation especially in reading. Reading is the most important skill because without reading students will have difficulty in all other subjects.
I have been teaching for 15 years. If children are taught to read the right way they will not have problems later on. Difficulties should be caught early in order to help students overcome them. I have been tutoring for two years.
