A Little Bit About Me...

I am by nature a lifelong learner. I am curious, introspective, and always probing to discover hidden meanings, connections, and possibilities. A professional musician/entertainer since age fourteen, I apply, among many other traits, my considerable experience in presentation, and my sense of humor to present a higher level and enjoyable learning experience, reaching for increased interest far beyond the page and pale.
I have traveled extensively, this experiential vantage point providing an understanding of the differences & similarities within and across the world's cultures.

My comments on tutoring Testing Skills : I specialize on test taking strategy and the fundamentals of test cracking.

I am an organic chemist. I will only teach you at the level you are assigned. My background makes it easier for you. Anyone can learn organic chemistry or the other subjects and standardized exams I've tutored. I focus on understanding and independence with a minimum of memorization. In fact, that's the only difference between an "A" and something that is unacceptable. I hold a 100% pass rate (or better). I've learned how to make the subject simple, save you time, and learn so you retain it. We work at your pace (nothing else works) but we make progress immediately.
I establish rapport with students and quickly gauge what the difficulties are and what they concerns are. I guide you through the process and make is a step by step process to outperform others, maintain peace of mind and graduate on time. Confidence is essential in organic. We build that first and clear ... read more

I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three states and two foreign countries. Leadership was usually demonstrated in teaching for proprietory institutions in curriculum development and in the processes of actual recruitment. In fifth-grade teaching of English language learners, my class for two semesters won the highest attendance record for 3rd-5th graders in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even to ... read more

The bachelors degree I received in English Literature and Spanish allowed me to spend two years serving as a United States Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador. There, I became fluent in Spanish and decided to return to the United States to pursue degrees in both Elementary Education and teaching English as a Second Language. I have a Masters of Teaching and will be completing an additional masters degree in English this year. While pursuing those degrees, I taught Spanish to young students through second grade and was an assistant teacher for middle school students. Since completing my degree, I have taught first grade in a public school. My classroom was comprised of English language learners, to whom I was responsible for teaching all subjects.
Using a variety of teaching strategies, I engage students with all learning styles including using music, creative writing, visual arts, in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artworks and gardens.
My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Securing a BS in Political Science was a process that allowed me to examine a comprehensive body of knowledge that deals with the structure of our country, our belief systems, and our government. Having recently graduated from UCDHSC’s MBA program with an Entrepreneurial track, I leave the university equipped with a new set of skills. Most of the curriculum was heavy on the writing side, forcing me to take a hard look at my grammatical skills, but allowing me an opportunity to grow and learn. The volume of written work over the entire MBA Program was massive, but it allowed me to hone my research skills and refine my writing style. Having many integrated collaborative group projects over the duration of my attendance familiarized me to the team member mentality prevalent in our current work environments. I have tutored pupils in English, math, social sciences, physics, mathematics, ... read more

I graduated from Colorado State University with a passion for working with children. I joined the Americorps program and became a Literacy Tutor in an elementary school. I had the priviledge to work with talented students and teachers. I gained a great understanding in the areas of reading and writing. To further my understanding of elementary reading and writing I have attended numerous seminars on tutoring and literacy strategies. I have tutored students in all subjects from math to geography and reading and writing.
I have a strong desire and love for teaching and working with children. I find that if I can help a child understand their homework or help them read a story and they smile, then I have achieved success. I believe all children are successful and can learn, even if they learn in different ways. I think it is essential to set goals for the students I am working with an ... read more

My teaching style is guided by the student, curriculum and situation. It is crucial to evaluate where a student is in the learning process, understand how each learns best and be clear regarding course expectations. Developing specific strategies and changing with challenges that arise is essential. I am kind, patient and creative, have high expectations of myself and others, and believe that all people can learn. A key to meeting the needs of students is to have healthy and professional boundaries while creating good relationships; one of my greatest strengths is relating to students on a personal level and then tailoring the learning to this real person. I look forward to being involved with people who choose to learn.
I hold a BA in physical education & health,a MA in Reading/Literacy, and am highly qualified and certified to teach English/Language Arts. I have spent the pa ... read more

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences.
