Students need somebody to guide them to be able to learn.

Traditional approach - lecture, discussion, answer and question method, group discussion, reports, one-on-one, and book reports. Non-traditional approach - virtual lecture, online discussion, mostly one-on-one interaction, proctored tests, and special techniques such as reading aloud, group interaction.
More than 15 years of successful teaching in all levels (adult, secondary, and college/university) teaching here and abroad. In addition, I have been in administrative positions, journalism work, and public relations with various corporate organizations and educational institutions. I also serve the community as a volunteer citizen such as serving the school site councils and the city commissions. I write for a weekly newspaper and also for Examiner.com, an online publication.

Writing/Editing is my first love that I want to share.

Patient and understanding. Willing to take time to help students understand and will take time to help whenever needed.

More About This Tutor...

I've taught more than 600 classes in Livermore's schools, creating a superb awareness of how to teach a variety of individuals. I graduated magna cum laude in journalism which has given me exceptional knowledge of writing, reading, grammar and vocabulary. On a broader scale, I hope to leave students with an increased ability to organize their time and materials, and to master study skills that will aid them in the rest of their academic pursuits - as well as their future careers.
My teaching style is that learning should be fun! I use humor, encouragement, enthusiasm and interest to make sure students feel invested in learning and improving. Drudgery never succeeds in the long run. Confidence and comfort are key to students gaining competency, and I strive to discover each student's learning style in order to individually help them.

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ideas in ESL teaching at that time. More recently, in designing teaching materials for middle and high school students, I have attempted to map my lessons to the cognitive skills identified in Bloom's taxonomy.
Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I ear ... read more

As a student at Sonoma State University I spent a semester being a teachers assistant and then was hired in the outreach office. For three years I worked as a college rep for the university. I went around and spoke to students at high schools and attended college fairs at both high schools and community college. When schools came to visit the university I assisted with giving them a tour of the campus as well as an admissiona and records presentation. I am very familar with the CSU system as a whole.
My teaching style is to find how the students connect to the material and tie that into the material so that the student finds ways to remember the information in their own way. I also like to find fun ways to present the information so that it is not all lecturing but interaction between me and the student. I feel and believe that if you can teach the material to someone else than you ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education and helping others get the most out of their scholastic experience has always been very important to me. My tutoring background began at Merced Community College, where I taught college students in English, Spanish, business law, mathematics, and chemistry. Reviewing essays and helping others improve their writing skills is a passion of mine. I continued my education at Fresno State University and there taught Spanish and mathematics while earning my undergraduate degree in accounting. I also instructed a lab class on Internet web site design and development. I've been in the finance industry for over 11 years as an accountant, so I can help with most business-related subjects, too.
I've honed my coaching style to develop many of the tools needed to reach students in every age group because people never stop learning, so I am prepared to assist others wherever they f ... read more

I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching.
I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence w ... read more
