Art tutor, Homework tutor, Learning facilitator!

I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it.
I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions.

My comments on tutoring Writing : please provide special attention items that need to be tutored eg: MLA format etc.This will help me better prepare and assist you.

I continously tutor ages k-12, college students and international students. I have been tutoring for five years and enjoy sifting out the difficulties. Many students have trouble absorbing the material and many students read the curriculum abstractly. I help my students with processing the material easier so that we can progress efficiently.
I am very proficient with teaching my students to understand rather than just finish the activity or problem. I pay very close attention to the learning style of my students. I make sure they are focusing and learning rather than copying my teachings.

Writing is one of my top subjects! I have been writing since I could hold a pencil. What I love most about writing is that it combines my love of language with my love of visual art. I can create images with words! This love lead me to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing/Poetry, numerous private workshops with world renowned writers, and dozens of original poems published in literary journals around the country. My writing experience includes essays (in any subject), fiction, nonfiction, and creative nonfiction. I am also an editor and a ghostwriter.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing--specifically poetry. Dozens of my poems have been published in print and online. I am a founding editor of The California Journal of Poetics for which I write, edit, and publish book reviews, interviews, essays, criticism, and other bits and pieces about poets and their writing. I have also taken several graduate level courses and workshops in the writing of novels, short stories, micro-fiction, and creative nonfiction. I have worked with some of the best writers in the world. I was the recipient of a creative writing scholarship and a creative writing fellowship during my undergraduate studies. I do not have any formal teaching experience but after dozens of workshops, wherein the writers had to share and critique each other's work, I learned how to communicate praise, suggestions, criticisms, ... read more
