I make learning interesting.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
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.

Geography is one of my top subjects! Human geography from the #1 ranked program in the country for Ph.D.-level study. Expertise in Economic Geography, Regional and Spatial Analysis, Migration and Demography.

I want students to see learning as fun, and an on-going process, not just a process of memorizing facts and figures.
I am an ex-professor of Economics and Economic Geography, and taught at Texas A&M University-College Station, Illinois State University and Pepperdine University - International MBA Program. I am also the former Senior Economist for The TCW Group, Caterpillar, General Motors and Warner Bros. I specialize in Economics (international, development, trade, agricultural and natural resources).

My comments on tutoring Geography : One of my two minors was human geography. I completed courses in physical geography and oceanography as well.

Graduated with honors in 2010 from SDSU with a BA in Linguistics and an TESL certificate. I double-minored in History and Geography. Worked at American Language Institute (ALI) before and after graduation as a facilitator (assistant instructor). Graduated from Mesa Community College in 2007 with an associates degree in Social Science.
I take a systematic "nuts and bolts" approach that gives the student the basic building blocks so that they may become a partner in the integrative learning process that involves figuring out how to properly structure, connect & apply these integrations to form new building blocks, and so on to wider & wider integrations & applications.

I have spent the last 4 years in a classroom setting and I enjoy working with elementary aged students. I have just completed my teaching credential at San Diego State and have been substitute teaching in the Cajon Valley Union School District, as well as at a Charter School in the San DIego Unified School District for the past year.
I believe in making sure I have complete focus from my students, that way I can make sure they are getting all of the information they need to succeed. I love adding in some fun and excitement any time I can. I want my students to have fun and succeed at the same time.

Civil Engineering Tutoring Made Easy

I am a Graduate Student at San Diego State University obtaining my Masters in Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering while working full time as an engineer for a private firm. I graduated from San Diego State University in 2011 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, after switching from Aerospace Engineering, and 2 minors in Physical World Geography and World History. I enjoy tutoring/teaching, and can give students a very real perspective of the current teaching methodologies and subject matter. I tutored right after I graduated, before I passed my E.I.T. certification.
Very hands on and simplified.

My comments on tutoring Geography : I have always taught cartography and geography when teaching History.

I have considerable experience (20+years) teaching Spanish, French, ESL, and Social Studies to all ages and leels of students in the United States and overseas along with writing, designing, planning, and implementing curricula to meet the individual needs of my students ranging from physically, emotionally and learning challenged to advanced placement.
I believe that my eclectic background, coupled with my ability to establish a genuine rapport with students of all ages and nationalities, make me a viable tutorial candidate along with my dedication to the teaching profession, my patience, empathy, and my high standards for my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Since I am not a teacher by training, I believe my key to educating is to strive to understand the motivation or fear that is blocking progress. Once engaged, my experience is that the individual will be successful. My leadership style is to lead by integrity. This means honest and direct communication and delivery on commitments. I share life experience stories and lead by expample. I set clear expectations and provide the knowlege/training to achieve the goal.
I accepted tutoring assignments from another institution over 20 years ago. I recall bringing a young man from a "D" to a "B" in a very short period of time, and my most rewarding experience was with a young lady (today an accomplished attorney) who won a Coca-Cola essay scholarship I helped her with. I have been in a managerial role with my employers for over 20 years, and the role of a manager is to teach/mentor/tra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most difficult subjects are so because of apprehensions or stigmas one might form throughout his/her experiences. I make learning fun and can break down mental barriers one might have by relating the abstract material to concrete real-world examples.
I love teaching others and helping them excel at difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. With my broad background I can relate to almost any individual and find the right approach to teaching difficult subjects in a manner he/she will understand.

More About This Tutor...

As a recent graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minor in Psychology, I have taken many classes in biology, physics, algebra, psychology, chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I learned how to plan, provide and educated students by teaching and tutoring sciences and English classes for four years. Throughout my working experiences, I learned how to manage and organize an efficient and instructive environment, and assist students in learning the material thoroughly.
Teaching is a great way to educate and to learn. As a tutor, first, I see the student’s understanding level. I plan ahead of time and prepare proper material. However, if the material is provided, I find effective methods of teaching, and teach each student accordingly. It’s obvious that some techniques work better for some students but not others. Therefor, I choose a good t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win.
I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program.

More About This Tutor...

I first began tutoring at a middle school when I was earning my bachelors degree at San Diego State University in the mid 90s. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to pursue a career in education. After spending a year or so as a long-term substitute, I ventured into computer graphics for quite a few years. Eventually, I came back to the classroom to teach ESL to adults as well as Sixth Grade Math and Science. I just completed my Masters Degree in Educational Technology and I am currently authoring a book. Therefore, I'm looking to get back to tutoring again.
All students have a variance in their learning style but I have found a cognitive apprenticeship/constructivist approach is a good style to start with. I show the student how to accomplish a task, then we accomplish a similar task together, and finally, the student shows me how to accomplish the task, with my guidance if necess ... read more

Teaching has always been a joy for me. Teaching is also hard work. Helping children learn is an important process, and I take that responsibility very seriously. As a tutor, I know it is important to work with the student, the classroom teacher, and the parents. Creating a team that focuses on the individual child will help me get a better understanding of the child's needs and will make it more likely that child achieves success. If I had to describe my style of teaching, it would be: Positive Instruction and Positive Discipline. I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to find the "key" to a child's learning style by using positive instruction and discipline.
Although I am now retired, my 34-year teaching career has included elementary, middle, and the university levels. In elementary school I taught the full elementary curriculum in Grades Four through Six. In midd ... read more
