Experienced Software. Math and SAT Prep Instructor

I firmly believe that learning should be fun! I have been a software instructor since 1994 and am familiar with all the Microsoft Office products, having worked with them and taught them for various community colleges and software training companies. I have kept up with the latest versions and work with them on a daily basis, and am familiar with many of those little things that will make you a much more effective user of the software applications.

I am also an excellent math instructor, having worked for the Princeton Review as an instructor, preparing students for the math portion of the SAT. As a student teacher, I was instrumental in significantly increasing my students' test scores in Math. I also did my Action Research project on how to increase speed and accuracy in doing multiplication facts--the intervention was a success and I was chosen to present my research to the Professional Educators Advisory Board at City University of Seattle. I am certified to tutor students from elementary through high school up through geometry and Algebra 2 and also for SAT preparation in Math, Reading and Writing.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Economics, a Master's in Teaching, and a Washington State Teaching Certificate with an Endorsement in Elementary Education.

I have been teaching for almost two decades, and I have a passion for it. I look forward to working with you!

Microsoft Excel

I have been an Excel user for over two decades and have taught Excel since 1994. I can teach you to become a more effective user of Excel by using little known shortcuts, formulas, functions, names and links. I can also teach you how to use Excel as a database by creating tables. Finally, I can show you how to use Excel to create graphic representations of your data (charts). Of course, I can also teach you the basics of Excel, starting from the beginning. I've taught beginning to advanced users... Read More

Microsoft Word

Do you need to become a better user of Word? Do you get frustrated with all of the features available to you? I can help! I have been a user/instructor of Word since 1994 and I too was kicking and screaming when version 2007 came around. But I too had to get out of the Dark Ages and have now been teaching version 2007 for several years. I can teach you many shortcuts to make you a more effective user. I can show you how to work with templates, styles, mail merge, sections, columns, tables, headers/footers,... Read More

Microsoft PowerPoint

I have taught PowerPoint for almost two decades in both community colleges and in the corporate world. I have created hundreds of PowerPoint presentations and as a teacher and a speaker, I am familiar with what constitutes a good presentation. A good presentation is a combination of your oral presentation and the PowerPoint presentation. The PowerPoint presentation is a tool to support your oral presentation, and should be designed as such. Many people do not understand this, and as a result,... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I received my Masters in Teaching in Elementary Education (K-8) and have been a substitute teacher in the Federal Way School District since May 2011. I have worked with students in the Resource Room, with ELL students and with Highly Capable students. I specialize in math, although I am comfortable in all subjects.

Microsoft Access

I have worked as a software instructor for almost two decades, working with Microsoft Access and teaching students how to run queries. I have designed databases using Access and have also designed reports. I can assist people with setting up databases, setting up queries, and designing reports.

Microsoft Outlook

I work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis. I am familiar with the email function of Outlook as well as the calendar function and the Contacts function. Having been a software instructor for almost two decades, I feel confident in my ability to teach this application, as it is one of the easier applications in the Microsoft Office Suite of programs.
