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

Instruction in layout, typography, photo manipulation, and illustration. Also, worked for 10 years as an in-house graphic designer, producing all types of print and online imagery. worked for 5 years as an illustrator for educational books. I like one-on-one teaching, it's easier to evaluate what you need most. At first we just go over the basics and that includes the software features, then I like to give you a series of 5 new tips each class to practice and then integrate assignments as well, as I see how well you are progressing.

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them. Taught kindergarten-sixth grade . B.S. Psychology/Technology Management.

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects. I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek out i

At UCR, I was a "drop-in" tutor. This means that for hours of the day in a room with 6 chalkboards, I would teach math to any UCR student who wanted to learn and answer their questions. There was hardly any down time at all; I was constantly working. I had a team of tutors that I first worked with, then managed as a mentor in my last year. As a Mentor, I kept the team's understanding of the curriculum solid as a group effort. The mentors and the tutoring program coordinator held weekly meetings with regards to our various tutoring teams. I have good experience managing a team, and being part of a team of teams in a board room. Even as a Mentor, most of my time was spent in the Drop-In room tutoring people. Persistent and patience with the student, foundation first for the material. . Especially with math, higher concepts won't be "grasped" unless the lower ones are mastered. Also, I find
