Desktop Publishing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Salinas, CA

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i

As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning. I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student t

Math has been my passion since a very young age. Since I teach what I love, it shows in my teaching. I believe everybody can learn. It is just a matter of seeing what works for a particular child. I employ both audio and visual techniques when I teach. I think Math is best learned through examples. Hence, when I teach I incorporate lots of examples in my lessons. I like to challenge my students and help them apply what they learn. I also feel that people fear Math because they have gaps in their prior knowledge. This fear can be best overcome by filling in the gaps in their knowledge and building up confidence. I started off my career as a Software Engineer and moved on to teaching computer courses at a university. After I moved to the US, I started teaching Math and Science at a private school. For three years I taught middle and high school students in a small school setting. While tea
