My comments on tutoring Painting : Paint is something you buy in tubes. The picture or emotion to depict is in the mind. To show it to people you have to get the paint to communicate to perception. That is to get a reaction from a viewer.

I go down the path of the students direction and try to help shape their vision that could lead to their goal.
Ive been involved in the visual graphic arts for 50 years. I have done every thing from airbrush t shirts in the 60s to build a huge sculpture for a local hospital. Ive worked with every material available to the public.Currently have a sculpture studio. Capable of working in metal and all plastics.We are now casting parts for the casino business. It consists of dragons that the eyes and other parts light up.These will be distributed world wide. Much of my work with the gaming industry goes to cruise ships and overseas.There is a need for sculpting and original art in that venue.

Painting is one of my top subjects! I have over 30 years in the study of the field of art. I have studied watercolor as a media since 2001.

I took two years of art in high school, the first year I informed by the teacher that after a month of her class, she could not teach me any more because I knew everything she knew about art. I was then encouraged to study and explore art on my own during the remainder of the year. I was awarded a 4th year excellence in art certificate, even though it was only my second year of formal study in art. I took one year of various art classes but chose to study on my own rather than continue art in college. I explored colored pencil for the first ten years after college. I then explored textiles and bead art. The most currant studies in art include watercolor and mixed media. I have come to understand that art is a primal language that is common to all mankind. To discover one's own creative expression is what my aim is when I help a student.
I encourage the student to discov ... read more

I am a graduate of SDSU and a mother of two children. One graduate and one in highschool. I have volunteered many hours in elementary and middle school classrooms. I have helped our children and others with various classes and I am committed to helping each child learn and grow to their highest potential. I believe that every child is a gift and that each one is motivated and learns in unique ways. It is important to recognize how the student best responds to learning type situations and focus on what motivates them. I believe that kindness, caring, devotion and a warm smile help to create a welcoming atmosphere for learning!
I believe that children learn best when they are given confidence and support in every step they take. It can be a frustrating time for them and they need to know that they have everything they need to be successful and to learn a new skill. Patience, trust an ... read more

I feel like it is important to connect to students on a personal level yet still retain a professional attitude. Children tend to respond to someone who is fun and friendly, instead of a person who chooses not to connect with students in this way. I am very passionate about learning and teaching what I have learned to others. I think if you can get a child interested in a subject he or she will be more willing to learn and enjoy his or her work more because he or she is personally benefiting from it. I am committed to a students growth as a person as a result of learning and feel that a good instructor is a key to that student's success.
I have volunteered for both summer camps (at local science museum) and at vacation bible school programs. I worked at a daycare for 2 years working with a 2 year old class, then worked as a preschool teacher for another year and a half. I have also ... read more

I believe every student has their own learning style. As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to find the style that works best for the student to help ensure the student not only learns the material but is also able to retain the information. I believe successful learning can be obtained by providing a relaxed environment that provides the individual structure and attention each student needs.
I have more than 5 years experience as a substitute teacher at almost every level. I have had the opportunity to also serve as a long term substitute teacher. I also have 1 year of experience teaching at a pre-school level, 2.5 years teaching at a post-secondary level, and a semester of tutoring a middle school student. I have also taken course work in Differentiated Instruction. All of these experiences have given me the skills needed to be a successful teacher. Teaching at s ... read more
