I am an experienced classroom teacher, seminar leader and professional feature article writer. I graduated from Olivet Nazarene College in Bourbonnais, IL. I have taught both high school and junior high school English, with an emphasis on reading, writing, drama and speech. I graduated with a 4.0 on the Deans List from this medium size college in Illinois. My teaching career path has taken me from secondary teacher to Public Relations writing and marketing, and I am currently in the Financial Services arena with a strong emphasis in education for my clients. My most recent tutoring assignment was with an ESL student who needed help with studying for her Series Seven Test. I have tutored numerous elementary students in reading, writing, spelling and some math problems. My high school students have received help from me with regard to the correct outlining methods and essay writing. After the 2007 October Fires in Southern California, I tutored all age groups of elementary children through SAY/San Diego, which was a tutorial program to help students with all basic skills in reading, math, social studies and science.

I have worked with an international visitor from Japan beginning in 2009 through WyzAnt. He was in San Diego on business, and needed help with vocabulary, reading, speech and pronunciation skills while visiting Southern California. I taught another student from Vietnam all facets of speech and pronunciation. She was new to the United States, and we worked together to improve her English speech and pronunciation for about ten weeks to bring her much success.

I am proud to let you know that an elementary grade student did so well in his reading, writing, vocabulary and test preparation that he was comfortable writing essays on a blogging site. It is my pleasure to help parents and students work with me as an experienced teacher and tutor to give you help with more advanced skills within your specific study area. I look forward to helping you with your tutoring needs soon.

Thank you,
Sandra

English and Grammar are my favorite topics for study. I have taught English grammar at the high school and adult level to many students.

Phonics

I have taught phonics both in the classroom in Illinois and to special students in 5th, 6th and 7th grades in San Diego County for their phonics studies. I do specific lessons that are the standard in California Education for each student.
I have seen success with these students after we work together in their phonics and spelling studies.

Study Skills

I am competent in study skills. I have taught English, reading and foreign lanquages in the classroom at the secondary and college level. My background is one of organization of your work beginning with an outline and action calendar of how and when you will complete your work. Your personal study skills will include how to read your material for comprehension and communication (verbal and written).

Sewing

I am a professional seamstress and have been sewing professionally in San Diego county for more than 10 years. I have been a seamstress or a dressmaker for more than 30 years.
I would prefer to teach small classes; however I will take an individual student who is willing to do a series of classes. A different rate would apply in this case instead of my tutoring work.

Thank you,
Sandra

Business

I have been a self-employed business owner for many years. When I came to Southern California I had been the owner of two Hallmark Stores, one in Illinois and Indiana. The mission statement of Hallmark is to give the customer only the best; which is what I believe I do for my students.
My career path has taken me into marketing consulting and public relations. My current field of interest is definitely tutoring; however I understand what it takes to be an administrator and executive in business... Read More

Public Speaking

I have done many seminars and workshops for the corporate world on financial topics and some of my colleagues as to how to keep their calendars full of appointments. I was a Dale Carnegie Coach for eight courses in southern California having been asked back more than any other coach in the years that I did my coaching for the Dale Carnegie Center of Excellence and their Sales Advantage Course.
I have spoken in front of audiences about Taxes, Interior Design and Medicare programs.

Career Development

Through the years I have helped students with resume writing, cover letters, filling out job applications, working on interview skills and salary negotiation for the careers in different industries.
One of my clients had me review numerous resumes so we could choose the proper candidate for the project manager job the company had to fill. After reviewing more than 30 resumes I was able to help narrow down the last three candidates for the job position.

Marketing

I have a Marketing Communications Certificate from UCSD, La Jolla, CA. I opened up my own agency in the San Diego, CA area in 1986 and owned the agency for eight years. I conducted marketing planning for many professional clients in the legal, construction, design, engineering and medical professions to just name a few.
I have written strategic marketing plans of great length, developed action plans and taught business development planning to most of my clients.
The most enjoyable part... Read More

Microsoft Windows

I have used everything from Windows XP, Windows 7 for more than five years and now I have Windows 8 on my new computer. Windows 8 is different than Windows 7 and uses more Apps and search boxes to find what one needs. I am enjoying Windows 8 because it gives me a larger spectrum of what to search for in my tutoring work and beyond the scope of every day computer use. I can teach both Windows 7 and Windows 8 as I have them both on my computer. It would be a pleasure to tutor students in both Windows... Read More

Series 7

I have studied for the Series 7 exam and recently taught it to an Adult Student in 2012 who is Spanish speaking/ESL Student, and was having a hard time understanding the terminology for this very difficult exam which takes about 6 hours to take and pass the exam.
I know all of the terminology and all the different exam questions that may be on the test. It is a very difficult test similar to the CPA exam.
I would appreciate being given the opportunity to tutor for this exam. Thank you.

Speech

I have taught speech and drama at the Junior High level as a classroom teacher. I have worked with more than 200 students in the classroom. I am giving a speech this evening on my chosen subject of "Health Reform" at a local college in San Diego County.
