My art minor was in computer art. As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

Expert+ I teach this at a college level. I use InDesign which is the industry standard. I have designed most everything possible: books, billboards, marketing materials, web sites. I am passionate about teaching and spend most of my free time, creating curriculum that will excite and engage my students. I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to identify the strength of my students, as well as make them unafraid of their weaknesses. Only then, can a student and teacher begin a successful, working relationship. Student AND teacher must work at using all of our minds as much as we can. It is vital to become familiar with the way we think, especially our weak areas. Facing those and forging new pathways in the brain should be the goal of all of us. I have taught college level design and desk top publishing classes since 2004. I have owned my own graphic studio since 1996: 509studi

I consider that each student is capable to learn and to achieve an expected goal. I have tried in my years of tutoring to motivate student's learning skills by challenging them with new methods in solving a task. My teaching style varies depending on the group of students I am faced to. I have gone from one on one tutoring to a whole group experience. I am flexible to student's learning process. I can very well adapt and modify my lesson planning when the concept is being hard to understand. I am a responsible tutor, as well as confident, easy going and patient.

All of us are in a continuous learning mode, even if we are not in a formal learning environment. I like to emphasize that fact to students, and my approach to instruction focuses on the enjoyment and practicality of the subject matter. If a student learns to gain satisfaction from solving problems, tutoring will take a back seat to self-motivated learning. My enthusiasm for learning eventually transfers to the students with whom I work. By focusing on problem-solving related to everyday activities, I strive to eliminate common abstract perspectives about subjects such as math, computer science, and writing, and help students see that applied learning is all around them. Technically, I have been involved in education in some capacity all of my life. Professionally, I have been a public school classroom instructor, a college adjunct professor, an instructional designer/developer for c

As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this approach comprehensible and fruitful to the student falls on the teacher; it's what makes the teaching languages interesting. I have followed this method for a number of years, and my successes confirm me in this belief. I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding

My most recent experience has been as an adjunct mathematics instructor at Southwestern College. I have also taught GED Mathematics classes for San Diego Community College District Continuing Education department. In addition, I have taught mathematics and science courses at the high school level and Computer Application Courses at both the college and continuing education levels. I try to build on the student's current knowledge base. In teaching a topic I check for understanding at each step in the instruction and provide remedial help as necessary before proceeding to the next step. I try to address individual differences in students' backgrounds and learning modalities. I am patient with students when they encounter difficulties and will repeat the instruction using a slightly different approach. I incorporate praise and recognition of progress in my instruction to provide encoura

I love working with all level of students. I never give up on my students and expect them to never give up on themselves. Building confidence in learners is key to my educational approach, and I try my best to be aware of frustration levels. Everyone learns a different way, and I believe it is my job to figure out my students’ best learning style. My main effort in teaching goes to having my students fully understand the subject they are learning, and feel open enough to ask any questions. A good educational foundation opens up a world of opportunity. Since knowing I wanted to teach my junior year of high school, education has been my passion. I went on to Sonoma State University where I earned my BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Kinesiology (PE). I then went on to Cal State San Marcos to obtain my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Since having my credential I have had t
