My art minor was in computer art. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning. As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

Expert+ I teach this at a college level. I use InDesign which is the industry standard. I have designed most everything possible: books, billboards, marketing materials, web sites. I am passionate about teaching and spend most of my free time, creating curriculum that will excite and engage my students. I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to identify the strength of my students, as well as make them unafraid of their weaknesses. Only then, can a student and teacher begin a successful, working relationship. Student AND teacher must work at using all of our minds as much as we can. It is vital to become familiar with the way we think, especially our weak areas. Facing those and forging new pathways in the brain should be the goal of all of us. I have taught college level design and desk top publishing classes since 2004. I have owned my own graphic studio since 1996: 509studi

Most difficult subjects are so because of apprehensions or stigmas one might form throughout his/her experiences. I make learning fun and can break down mental barriers one might have by relating the abstract material to concrete real-world examples. I love teaching others and helping them excel at difficult subjects such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. With my broad background I can relate to almost any individual and find the right approach to teaching difficult subjects in a manner he/she will understand.

I first began tutoring at a middle school when I was earning my bachelors degree at San Diego State University in the mid 90s. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to pursue a career in education. After spending a year or so as a long-term substitute, I ventured into computer graphics for quite a few years. Eventually, I came back to the classroom to teach ESL to adults as well as Sixth Grade Math and Science. I just completed my Masters Degree in Educational Technology and I am currently authoring a book. Therefore, I'm looking to get back to tutoring again. All students have a variance in their learning style but I have found a cognitive apprenticeship/constructivist approach is a good style to start with. I show the student how to accomplish a task, then we accomplish a similar task together, and finally, the student shows me how to accomplish the task, with my guidance if necessary. T
