Speaking Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in San Mateo, CA

I have been a guest speaker at some conventions, and often do presentations for my company to the public. I know what makes a dynamic speech. I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions. I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it.

Through my many years as a student, I have developed numerous, “Student Skills”. These are skills which enable me to get the best possible results for my efforts. I have three children of my own and two of them consistently make honor roll – the third is going to be a “Star” (hey, what are you going to do?) I tell them that the difference between an “A” student and a “C” student has nothing to do with intelligence. Anyone can be an “A” student with motivation and a mastery of student skills. I teach by example. Having been a nurse for many years, I have developed the ability to remain calm under stress. I am VERY patient. I will give as long as is necessary until the student “gets it”. I recently graduated, Summa cum Laude, with a BS in Biomedical Engineering Technology, having earned a 4.0 GPA. I also hold an AS in Nursing. I love to learn and as such, I have attained mastery in many c
