Continuing Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Palm Desert, CA

I have taught at the post high school level and I have both a Bachelor's Masters and a Doctorate degree. I am very aware of the necessity of adapting my teaching style to the learning modality of those I am working with. As an educator I evaluated students to define how they best process information. They may be auditory learners, visual learners or they may use a combination approaches. I am very patient and understand that everyone can learn. I believe in setting goals and evaluating progress to establish new goals when necessary. I have taught in Michigan and in California. I also have credentials as a school counselor and psychologist. I have experience with all aspects of the special education system from the K through grade 12 level. This incudes testing, placement and re-evaluation and the IEP process. I also have worked at the post secondary level and am familiar with acad

I have a lot of experience not only in fields that you may need help learning, but I also spent time during college tutoring classmates as I was in the class and developed a style to help students learn quickly and also reinforce the concepts. I understand the student to determine the best learning style for you and I make the transformation teaching you the material in an effective manner. I first find out your true objective for learning the material. Is it a requirement and not in your field of study so you just want to pass the class or is this a part of your passion or career and really want to know the nuts and bolts of the subject. I will adjust accordingly and make out a plan. I will also figure out the best way to teach you the material and from there we will have a plan to accomplish the targeted goal.

I am a very interactive teacher. I want feedback so I can see the progress the student is making. If they are not getting something, I make adjustments and change tactics. I teach tot he student(s). Everyone learns differently. And sometimes by the time I get to them student, it has nothing to do with their ability but more their confidence because of previously bad experiences. Then its more just showing the student he or she can accomplish this. And I aim do have fun while we do it! I have tutored for a non-profit organization, Life Christian Church, as an after school program on Wednesdays free to the community. I have also taught English and History to home school students. One of the biggest accomplishments was watching of the students who detested writing papers because he did not believe he could do it, grow into a man who is not writing weekly papers confidently.

After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance writing career. I taught for Loyola University, New Orleans, and two business colleges, and currently teach the composition, computer applications, and speech requirements for a local branch of Kaplan University -- a private business school. At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes.

Tutoring is a profession which I have enjoyed for over nine years, often while teaching in the classroom or online, concurrently. I was able to teach multi-subjects to college students because I excelled in all subjects myself, receiving numerous scholarship awards and honors. I chose after school tutoring as my extra duty assignment while teaching middle school and high school. I enjoy tutoring students because I experience the moment of “Ah ha, now I get it!” with them. I am eclectic in my approaches towards teaching, ranging from Montessori and Classroom Without Walls, to Behaviorist and Cognitive approaches. I use what is observable, measurable, and works. I am always prepared to pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I always prepare additional alternative lesson plans in case an approach does not seem doable. I begin tutor sessions with interviews to assess goals. The ultimate goal is a

I have a funny sense of humor and an easy-going nature that make me very approachable to children. I am passionate about educating children and I believe that every child has a unique way of learning and possesses unique talents. I am able to build a rapport with students and I believe that learning should be fun! Students learn in different ways, so I find the way a child learns best and I consistently teach them that way. Children need to be praised to feel they are doing well. This will keep them on the road to a bright future! I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English with writing emphasis from La Sierra University in 2005. I have professionally tutored/taught students for over 5 years in the areas of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, study skills, and music. I have taught students ages 4-19.

I really enjoy teaching and working with children of all ages. I know that children can excel at anything and we all have different learning styles. Co-partnering with parents is critical to success in their child(ren) education. Everyone should have the opportunity to succeed and should be provided the tools and the means to do so. I firmly believe this. Encouragement and enrichment is important. Not to mention a nurturing environment. I greatly feel that my job in life is help with passing on my knowledge to help others. I have earned two degrees, a bachelors degree in Business and Masters in Business and Information Technology which has provided me with outstanding experience and understanding in the math, reading comprehension areas. I have always excelled in science as well because the subject has always been a joy of learning for me. I have personally held afterschool scie

I enjoy use of the Socratic Method but recognize that in the sciences a more pragmatic process is required. Over the years I have concluded that good teaching requires good analysis of which particular approach works for a student and then alter the materials to fit the need. I completed my MBA and Juris Doctorate while employed full time, married with two children. It has given me insight into the learning process and what is or isn't a distraction. I have taught over 20 years in several community colleges a full range of business subjects while employed in the accounting function. In addition, I published and managed a Law Review and later a sports magazine nationally.

I have always had a strong drive for educational excellence. My two degrees have helped me become successful in my career as an Operations Manager for an international, multi-million dollar company. While earning my BA in Liberal Studies I have increased my grammatical skills while writing many research papers for an array of subjects. My MBA has allowed me to develop better analytical skills and improve my “out-side-the-box” thinking. Both degrees have helped me become a more confident public speaker. I have always had a desire to work with children. I have had the opportunity to mentor children while coaching youth sports, tutoring one-on-one, and interning at an elementary school.
