My comments on tutoring Desktop Publishing : InDesign

I have over twenty years of work experience including software training, authoring and editing software tutorials. I can create customized classes for your individual or group needs. I have authored a book about Adobe InDesign CS6 and can also teach Illustrator and basic Photoshop. I know PowerPoint and Word very well and can show you how to integrate the two programs.
I am good at understanding exactly what a customer needs to learn and I am very good at explaining features and technical issues with software.

A Little Bit About Me...

I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you!
I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.

I find that my interactions with children, or even young adults, always involve establishing a personal, familiar connection on which we then build a relationship of mutual growth and education. I possess a calm, patient manner in conjunction with an impassioned enthusiasm for reading and writing. I believe that reading comprehension and writing competency are two of the hardest, as well as most important, skills that kids of this impending generation need to become passionate about. My best language arts teachers always made sure that students were invested in the material, and therefore my strategy with children definitely involves engaging their interests as well so that they learn naturally.
As an English major, I have graduated with exceptionally strong skills in written and verbal communications, as well as an analytical mindset. I was in the teaching program at the Feinstein ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As I carry out my personal philosophy of education, I seek to make learning lifelong and to encourage children to become contributing and active members of our society. To that end, it is my hope to make it possible for all children to gain understanding of material, to think critically about what they are learning, and to be able to apply their learning to everyday life and to their futures. I believe it is the role of the teacher to help students recognize their abilities and lead them towards life choices that use those abilities to the fullest. Often, we, as adults, have forgotten what we learned in school. This saddens me and motivates me to teach children skills and techniques that will benefit them now and in the future.
My interest in academia is rooted in my desire to help children learn and to make that learning lifelong. It is my goal to make learning fun, purposeful, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated Westfield State with my teaching degree. At that time there was a freeze on hiring teachers. I substitute taught for a while and then decided to get an office job. Being a teacher is something that I have wanted to do since I was a young girl. I would really like to get back into it and I believe this opportunity would help me to do that.
I love to help young children achieve their goals. I have autistic twins so I have been exposed to ABA and other teaching methods. I believe that if you can get a child excited about what it is they need to learn and come up with a creative way to teach it, it will be a success on both ends.

I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning memorable and fun for my students and I encourage critical thinking, analyses, and problem solving over rote memorization. In addition, I recognize Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and in order to ensure I reach all of the students I teach I use various vehicles of communication whether it be visually, kinesthetically, orally, and so forth.

I believe in being a coach to the student rather than traditional teaching. While I will go over any new concepts in a teaching format, I prefer letting the students figure out solving any related problem by guiding and making suggestions, as necessary, to lead them through coming up with a solution. I will sometimes let students make mistakes so that they can later understand the mistake and as a result more likely to learn the material in question more thoroughly.
Transitioning from an exemplary career in Engineering and Technical Project Management to Education – Planning on teaching high school Math and Science. I have been involved in Education during my engineering career and been very interested in working on innovative teaching methods to teach Math & Science by making it more interactive and interesting from a very early age through high school. • For the last 8+ years ... read more

I have a passion for education, especially surrounding English and grammar. I feel that your writing is a reflection of who you are, and how people see you. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree, as well as a Masters. I have taught Pre-School and Kindergarden age children. I also hold internal training sessions for professionals at the company I currently worked for. I have taught and trained people 2.9 - over 60 years old. I enjoy seeing that "a ha" moment in a person's eyes, knowing that you have just broken his or her confusion.
I truly believe that people learn in many ways. It is the job of the teacher to determine personal learning style. Some people learn through listening, some by doing, etc. My goal is to help the learner to understand anything is learnable. It is finding the way to gain understanding that sometimes is crucial to the understanding. A good teacher is skilled in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with those that want to learn and may be struggling or are trying to complete their tasks to be able to move forward. I am always looking for creative new ways to teach to all learning styles and to make learning fun and practical. I have worked with the disabled and elderly for years along with children so I have vast experience with different age groups. I am very friendly and approachable and an excellent researcher and networker so I if I don't know a way to solve a request I know how to find someone or someway to complete the task. I find all small steps as important as the large accomplishments.

Throughout high school and college I showed proficiency for mathematics as well as an ability to help teach those around me. After college I became a pension analyst and have studied for several actuarial exams. In my current position one of my responsibilities is to educate new hires or colleges on systems and processes. Often times due to the nature of our work this requires a refresher math course to the trainee. The math involved ranges from basic elementary math to advanced calculus and actuarial principles. Teaching others math has always given me a great sense of satisfaction, and at this point in my career I have been contemplating going back to school to receive my teacher's certification.
Being able to help others understand math gives me such a great feeling of accomplishment. I feel like I am helping them to solve a riddle and know from personal experience the vast oppo ... read more
