Learning is worth the effort!
I have been a teacher in one way or another through all of my adult life. I particularly enjoy sharing the joys of reading and writing English, and I have been successfully doing this with people of all ages and backgrounds and in a variety of circumstances, including classroom teaching and private tutoring. My familiarity with other languages, especially French and Spanish, is often helpful. In my view, language proficiency is useful not only in school and for employment but also for me... Read more

Learning is More Than Memorizing
I take a no-nonsense-type approach to going through the curriculum, however I strive to make the material accessible and exciting for each person that I work with. I am a big believer in engaging with the specific lesson in a way that shows how it connects to the larger subject at hand. I find that this dramatically increases comprehension and retention of the information. Simply memorizing facts and formulas does not facilitate the growth of critical thinking that is so crucial to true learn... Read more

English and reading made easy
When I tutor a student, I begin by learning what the student already knows. How does he feel about the subject and why. Next, I try to determine the source of the difficulty, for example, how did the teacher present the material and where is the disconnect. I then try to find an alternate method of presenting the material. Once a student understands the relevance of the subject in his life and is able to handle the material with ease, a negative attitude, one of the biggest barriers to learni... Read more
Joe
Professional photographer with CEO pedigree
I spent my corporate life on the sales and marketing side of a public real estate development company where the path to promotion was to plan for succession. In other words, in order to move up the ladder you first had to replace yourself. Which is what I did for nearly 20 years until I left the company as its Chief Sales and Marketing Officer and member of the Board Of Directors. Along the way I developed a passion for teaching others not only what I knew but how to bring out the best in the... Read more

Michael
Scholar of Police, Management, Criminal Justice, & Leadership.
I believe what makes me unique as an educator is due to being on the edge of the development of computer science and technology. Computers can only do what was taught to them and with the information provided to them. Similarly, I began in an obsession with accumulating knowledge since I joined the federal service at 17, followed by a career in public service and public education through public speaking and scholarship. That obsession has evolved to a place where my Ph.D. work required specia... Read more
