After a career as a highly successful jewelry designer and manufacturer I sold my company and became an English teacher. I have always been interested in literature and journalism and while at university I participated in theater and was managing editor for the school newspaper. I began my teaching career at one of the toughest schools in Los Angeles and after following my science teacher wife to San Diego I have enjoyed several long term substitute positons with AP students at the High School Level. I have taught English now for six years to a full range of diversified students from grades six through twelve. As a teacher my biggest thrill is helping students reach their goals with clear understanding. Not all students learn the same and so good teachers must have many stategies for diversity in the classroom. With verbal and social skills that elicit trust, I have an ability to teach

My teaching style is student-centered. This approach is two-fold. I use scaffolds to assist in the discovery process, but encourage students to truly perform the “learning” independently, better preparing them for future endeavors. I also focus my delivery and content around the students’ interests, skill-levels, and abilities. I believe everyone has the right to an education and modify accordingly. I am patient, humorous, and approachable. It is not my goal for the students to fear me; I want to be an authority figure that they respect but also trust. I encourage students to think outside of the box as well as raise them to higher standards and skill levels. I am passionate about education, reading, and writing, and it shows! As a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English studies as well as a minor in Biology. I spent a year in college

I enjoy learning and teaching. My philosophy is to teach students how to learn so that they can eventually guide themselves and be self-motivated learners. My focus is on organizational methods, analysis and research skills, and effective structure. I have the ability to simplify and communicate more difficult concepts into easy to understand formats. I believe students must master the building blocks and basic ideas before being able to achieve greater understanding and abilities. I stress to students the value of what they are learning in order to properly motivate them. I attended university for 12 years. During my PhD studies I did interdiscliplinary research related to music in the areas of mathematics, linguistics, psychology, computer science, and others.

My teaching style is more socratic. I help students inquire and debate between facts with opposing viewpoints based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. This system is not designed to confuse students but to show them a straight way of dealing with axioms therefore not making bad decisions on standardized test. Usually the people that I tutor become leaders in their class thus improving test scores thus reaching their bottom line. I have worked as a student teaching assistant in private Ivy league boarding schools and I have taught in inner city urban setting. I have also had to the opportunity to take graduate chemistry courses both for credit and audit at University of California-San Diego, and San Diego State University and Tennessee State University.

Often times, a person who is failing a subject might feel like a lost cause, that no one can help them. However, my belief is that all students are worth helping, that each individual has a right to succeed. Further, frustration can be a huge obstacle in the learning process. My approach is to slow down the process and identify the problem areas. Only then do we pick up speed in practicing homework/practice problems. In addition, I believe in a positive atmosphere for learning where patience, understanding, and positive criticism are all vital to success As both a native of Chula Vista and a UCSD graduate, I have seen and experienced what it takes in order to grow up from a local teenager to a qualified adult ready to take on the world. I have attained a BA in Music, which actually required an additional understanding of math, physics, and computer science, as well. My tutoring experienc

Based on my experiences, I’ve had to explain and discuss accounting principles, theories, and practices with colleagues, students, professors, executives of companies, as well as their related operational departments. I feel that I am able to explain the subject matter to different types of groups with ease and really enjoy teaching and in turn learning from them. I was a substitute teacher part time while completing my undergraduate degree and have trained and mentored new colleagues and co-workers. I believe that each student posses different learning capabilities (i.e. visual versus audible), thus it is important to first learn how the student is able to comprehend the subject matter and then use applicable teaching methods. I graduated with a BS in Accounting and Information Technology. After graduating I worked as Staff I and later as Staff II at a mid size public accounting fi

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.
