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

My students are my Testimonials. I can put you in touch with former students in Adobe CS tutoring I have worked with who can refer to my tutoring style. Specifically, my style is to instruct verbally, asking you to take notes for certain points that may be more difficult for your reference later. I do not instruct on the computer, rather working with you and pointing out skills or techniques you then do yourself on your computer. This speeds the memory/learning process for the student, you retain the process faster by executing the skills yourself rather than 'watching' them be done. I am easy-going, experienced and patient and would encourage you to contact former successful n students & clients I've worked with. I am also available after or between sessions by phone or e-mail.

I am a firm believer that each and every student has equal ability to succeed in their academic pursuits. It is up to the teacher to provide the tools and environment that enables the student to flourish. Not only does a good teacher educate the child, but they also motivate the student to further pursue academic achievements. I believe in giving students the tools needed to solve current and future problems, not just a quick solution. I am a graduate of UC San Diego earning a BS in Structural Engineering. I have a strong grasp of the math and science fields, and how concepts from each discipline overlap and interconnect. In addition to my own academic pursuits I have tutored and worked in the classroom environment with students ranging from grades 1-6.

As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations. I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understan

As an Ivy League graduate, the son of a professor, and the husband of a professor, I have a deep love of learning and teaching.

I derive a lot of pleasure from communicating with my students and helping them with problem solving in Math and Physics, especially on a one-on-one basis. I am open, patient and interactive. Instead merely providing answers to a problem, I like to ask questions that inspire my students and help them develope a thought process for similar problems in the future. I am also a very easy going person and I believe in building the students confidence by giving constructive feedbacks along the way. A lot of us have encountered problems with Science in high school and college. With my indepth knowledge in Physics and Math and years of experience in teaching, I believe I can make a positive difference to the community. I obtained the Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Virginia in 2010. My research field is experimental Nuclear Physics which requires strong computer programming sk

As a college graduate, I have a deep understanding of the kind of hard work and dedication it takes to be successful. As an English major, I wrote extensively. The English program at CSU, Chico gave me the tools necessary to write successfully as well as the knowledge to analyze others' work and my own. In addition, I have acquired extensive knowledge in writing while attending Chapman University's credential program. I extensively understand the importance of reading instruction competence assessment, correct grammar and punctuation. As a Chapman University and CSU, Chico graduate, I feel confident that I am well balanced in all subject matter, and deeply so in reading and writing. As a recent college graduate, I am skilled in the most up-to-date research and teaching practices necessary to best aid children in their learning.

I have volunteered English as a Second Language tutoring services through the Santa Barbara Public Library for over two years. My students have come from Mexico, Latvia, and Mongolia. In addition, my most recent paid jobs as a Market Research Analyst/Associate Analyst included Editing/Quality Control duties, focusing on proper grammar, style, and content. I have a passion for the proper use of the English language, both spoken and written, and would relish an opportunity to share that passion with students. Each student is unique and needs to be approached in a unique teaching fashion. I try hard to listen to students and to learn what their goals and needs are. I then tailor the teaching approach to meet those goals and needs, fully believing that if students sense they are being listened to they will also feel motivated to learn.

From elementary age, I've studied biological science and thoroughly enjoy it. Since 1987, I have taught part-time in addition to my full time jobs. Subjects taught include human anatomy, physiology, biology, genetics as well as environmental topics and biotechnology laboratory skills. My students tell me I explain complex topics so they understand, take time to answer their questions thoroughly and enjoy my interaction with them. I like interacting with students and children, figuring out how to answer their needs and helping them succeed. I like inquiry based learning. That way, I am an expert "guide" for students than a "lecturer." To make a positive difference in your child's education is a wonderful possibility for me and assisting them in reaching their potential would be a delight. I am clear that my objective is to support your child's learning. To that end, I am patient, gentle a

While attending Junior High School, I decided to teach-particularly mathematics. I believe that every student can learn and that most problems come from not have a solid background and/or not finding a way of learning the particular subject. There are a variety of ways of learning, and each student and even each subject requires analysis and implementation and each student is individually important. I strive not only to provide instruction in particular courses but also to teach students how to learn on their own. I believe that each individual's future is either restricted or broadened by her or his education and my job is to open horizons for students.. During 38 years of high school teaching I have taught standard, college prep and honors courses in science, math and video production. This includes general science, physical science, biology, and physics; general math, pre-algebra,

As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In addition I have tutored for 5 years at all age and skill levels. My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can l

My passion is my teaching. I have used my BS in Chemistry to work in the technical, sales and EH & S fields in industry. I have spent the last fifteen years training engineers and technicians in the industrial world. After my children graduated from college in the summer of 2008, I went back to school and earned my teaching credential in Secondary Education-Science. My enthusiasm for teaching applied science and mathematics to young students has given me high marks in my Graduate program. While going to school at night, I have been substitute teaching during the days. I have been a registered tutor out of the Ventura Unified School District for Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry and Physics. I love to share my "hands-on" experiences of the physical world with the students I teach. No matter their age, students can be captivated by the physical world around them. Science doesn't have

I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions. I have taught and tutored hundreds of children while substitute teaching. I have found that my style is one which tries to involve the student in the learning process as much as possible. I love using volunteers to read aloud and participate in the learning process. I feel that treating each child with respect and as individuals increases their own abilities and improves their self-confidence as well.
