Friendly and Knowledgable Graphic Design Tutor

Hi my name is Nancy and I have over 10 years of experience within the graphic design and art industry. Working with people of all ages is a joy and a passion that has driven my career both in corporate and many freelance environments. With specialties in print publishing, I am very versed in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign and Website Design. I also have experience teaching traditional art mediums such as drawing, painting and mixed media collage methods.
"Nancy was quick to respond and very easy to talk with. Some of the Adobe design products can be intimidating, but Nancy gave clear instructions, easily answered my questions and never made me feel dumb for asking how or why she did something. This session was worth every penny and I'm looking forward to our next session too!" "Nancy is great to work with on a variety of design assignments. Whenever I c ... read more

Teacher that loves to help students achieve the highest goal

Assessment of teaching effectiveness The two words that best describe my teaching style are adaptive and creative. During class time, I expose students to various stimuli that allow them to drive their own learning. I use the following: • Show media & movie clips (To aid visual learners). • Written homework assignments (To inspire reading/writing oriented learners). • Music to help students understand abstract concepts (This approach benefits auditory learners). • Lecture using a Socratic method for all students. I believe my classes are 80% student driven and 20% instructor driven. I have always approached the process of teaching with a facilitator’s mindset. Clearly, each course has overall learning objectives, but the process to achieve those objectives can be hindered or advanced by the instructor’s skill at being a resource to empower versus creating dependency. In both ... read more

With so many years teaching middle school students in classrooms, I specialize in crafting just the right learning environment for students, emotionally safe but a little push outside their intellectual comfort zone. This is achieved through patience, clarity of thought, and modeling a sense of wonder about the world. I have worked with students who receive special education services as well as gifted students, and am adept at differentiating content and delivery to best promote comprehension and retention. Finally, everyone learns best when they feel like they are having fun and making their own discoveries--it's my job to ensure this sense of adventure is part of students' educational experience, offering ever more motivation to learn.
With 7 years of international and U.S-based teaching, tutoring, and training experience, I am at ease teaching multiple subjects to individuals an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is most important to communicate respect and find natural ways to empower each student so that they feel good about their ability to meet the goals ahead. I encourage critical thinking and often use picture and story associations to improve memory recall. It is important to me that your child is guided to discover the right answer rather than just giving them the answer in efforts to save time. As a result of this teaching style, it appears that I have a strength in helping students prepare for exams and several parents have asked me to home school their children and even volunteered to recruit more parents.
For over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to tutor children, peers and older adults in various subjects including math, English and science as well as guide them at presentation skills, critical thinking and small business solutions. As an undergraduate student, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate student I was always in the top ten percentile of my math, chemistry and biology classes, and as a result, I tutored fellow college students in those respective subjects. After earning my bachelor degree in biology, I worked as an educator at the South Carolina Aquarium where I taught interactive classes to kindergarten, middle school and high school students. I also worked for the Leadership Development Program at the College of Charleston where I co-facilitated student leadership classes. And most recently, while in graduate school I held a teaching assistant position and tutored freshman and sophomore college students in topics related to international development.
My teaching style is based on the student’s learning style. Each child is different and may require different teaching methods to facilitate learning. Some children are more visual and may require ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I can be helpful in math up through Algebra II, and have extensive knowledge of counseling, religious studies, writing, and have used accounting a bit in bookkeeping. I could tutor social studies up through high school because I have found such a great overlap between religion and counseling and human services. Right now I am in a class on trauma and presenting on human trafficking. I can tutor English in grammar and writing composition simply because of all the writing I have had to do for college. I took British Lit in my undergrad courses. I have a lot of experience with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and some exposure to Publishing. I could tutor basic computer skills in these areas.
I love teaching and engaging with people of all ages. Everyone learns in a different way, and it is kind of exciting to see how people think and try to connect with them. I believe that it is possible fo ... read more

I have taught a variety of skills and ages, from 1st graders in piano lessons to elderly adult immigrants learning the English language. I have a desire to meet people on their level and encourage them grow. I strive for an atmosphere that is both positive and structured that is a help to both my students and their parents.
I am a recent college graduate with a bachelor's degree in TESOL. While a senior in college, I taught an intermediate ESL class for a semester and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also minored in Business/Office Administration and took specialized classes in Windows Vista and Microsoft Office programs. In addition, I have taught beginner and intermediate private piano lessons for two years. I also acquired some experience with special needs when I worked after school as a personal aide to a non-verbal teenage girl with severe autism.

As an experienced tutor and trainer, I have been exposed to several learning styles and have adapted my instructional techniques to optimize the potential of the learner’s experience. Consequently, the most effective tutoring style has been of the multiple intelligence nature. It takes into consideration that every learner is not the same and a “cookie cutter” solution cannot address the challenges of every student. Therefore, I have adopted an instructional style that collaborates with the learner and is learner focused allowing for the learner to become empowered.
I have been in the Financial Accounting, Information Systems and Business Administration arena for over 15 years of which training has served as the catalyst for my passion as an educator. I have since pursued my master’s degree in education and plan to become an instructor on a full time basis. In addition, the scope ... read more

I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of thinking about the world and asking questions. Several themes appear again and again in concepts that on the surface may seem unrelated and it is recognizing these themes that is the key to success in building knowledge and confidence. My teaching philosophy is to point out these common threads binding various topics in science and relate it to the real world as quickly as possible, always with the goal of breaking it down to its simplest explanation.
I hold a bachelor of science in Biology (cum laude) from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and attended graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Me ... read more

I have earned a BS in Business Management with extensive post graduate studies in the MBA field. I was a military officer. I have faciltated training in a professional environment, as well as college classes.

As a son of an educator I have been around the education field since early childhood. I understand that one of the roles of a teacher is to motivate children to learn. Patience with children cannot be over emphasized in a learning environment. I find the keys to successful teaching are patience with consistency of standards and versatility in method of delivery.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a father to a 13 year old son, and having close friends with school age children, I have been able to teach some of my ways of doing math in subjects from simple math to algebra to geometry. I believe that there are more ways than one to complete and understand a math problem, and that if done correctly and it is easier to learn and remember, then that may be the way that student better understands that procedure.
As an accounting graduate and a college football player, I learned to have a good sense on how to study and hard work, both on and off the field. I had a great love for math throughout my schooling career and decided to go into accounting due to this. Even with a hectic schedule with football in college, I was still able to graduate exactly 2 weeks before 4 years with enough credits to be close to a finance degree as well. I took some graduate classes for my las ... read more
