I have been in ballet for 13 years, classically trained. I've been an artist ever since 2006 and I sell my art. I took chemistry my sophomore year and took the notes that mattered and passed each test with an A. English has always been my high point, as I understand grammar and spelling. I am also involved musically at school in the Madrigals choir.

I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

I have years worth of both instructing large-scale classes as well as one-on-one tutoring. After graduating from UCLA in 2005 with a Bachelor's in English, I taught English composition, speaking, and grammar in Beijing, China for almost two years. Since that time, I have also tutored high school-aged students in the areas of critical reading of literary texts, essay writing techniques, as well as creative writing. I'm constantly asking questions of students and I'm never willing to accept "I don't know" as an answer. I encourage students to think independently and critically of their tasks at hand so they don't just excel when a tutor or some type of authority figure is in the room. I love working with kids and will typically take a serious but gentle approach to fostering skills.

I believe in positive reinforcement and encouragement and individually-applied methods to students (especially of course in a tutorial setting). Also, I believe in modeling hard work, a love of learning, and the like. What I think is crucial as well is showing and giving students tools to write and read better--to show them it is not a mysterious gift they have or do not have but that they can work and improve and succeed. As a past high school teacher for 10 years at La Jolla Country Day School, I primarily taught 11th grade English (American literature) but also 9th grade and 12th grade (Advanced Placement--mostly European lit.) as well as semester electives like Expository Writing. Also, I was the literary magazine advisor for many years. All through college I tutored (e.g., at the Study Skills Dept. at SDSU)/taught (freshman Composition during grad. school). I truly enjoy helpin

My style is warm and interactive. I do not waste time. I can readily see what is needed and work very well as an adjunct to the student's course of study. I work with AP English and honors English students as well as remedial students in reading and writing. Once I see what is needed, I get the materials and am ready to start. I start where the student is and work for success. As a writing teacher I can teach strategies to improve writing and work with the writing expectation. I am a master teacher in writing and literature. I also supplement home schooling. I have had a lengthy career as an English department head in two independent schools. Presently I enjoy one on one tutoring and academic coaching. Since I am a reading specialist, I can quickly assess what is needed for remediation and acceleration in reading. I can effectively assist students in all grades as I have written

I accepted tutoring assignments from another institution over 20 years ago. I recall bringing a young man from a "D" to a "B" in a very short period of time, and my most rewarding experience was with a young lady (today an accomplished attorney) who won a Coca-Cola essay scholarship I helped her with. I have been in a managerial role with my employers for over 20 years, and the role of a manager is to teach/mentor/train on all levels. Since I am not a teacher by training, I believe my key to educating is to strive to understand the motivation or fear that is blocking progress. Once engaged, my experience is that the individual will be successful. My leadership style is to lead by integrity. This means honest and direct communication and delivery on commitments. I share life experience stories and lead by expample. I set clear expectations and provide the knowlege/training to achiev

I feel I learn as much as I teach. I value every student that I have the opportunity to work with. I have learned some students just need to overcoming their dislike of a subject. For others, a key subject building block had been built properly (as in Math) and as a result the rest of the information was sitting unstable in their minds. Finding where the support is needed and then working to solidify the skill then leads to greater confidence and greater academic achievement, Most students I work with appreciate that I am fair but firm. I want to succeed. It is a win-win. I have recently completed my MBA at national University. I currently teach high school part time at a alternative high school. This recent experience provided me with opportunity to work with students in a one-on-one basis as well as familiarize myself with every core class offered in the high school program. I feel

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subje
