I have worked with youth ages 6 through 18 over 10 years in different
capacities such as a teacher, tutor, counselor, independent living trainer and coach. I graduated from Cal State Northridge with a Bachelor
degree in Sociology. I also studied Fine Art in college such as Drawing, Drawing/Anatomy, Drawing 3-D and Illustration. I played on the women's basketball team for Cal State Northridge. I coached basketball and volleyball for boys and girls ages 8 to 17. I have coached teams as well as individuals. I have also tutored youth off and on over the last 10 years in areas such as elementary math and study skills. I have also taught drawing to middle aged youth.

I enjoy tutoring and coaching youth as well as assisting them with recognizing his or her potential. " There is no such word as I can't, you can". I know that every student learns differently. My approach to tutoring is to find out how each one learns and then I teach accordingly.

• basketball

  I played basketball for several years throughout high school and college. I also played in several summer basketball leagues each summer during college. My position on the women's basketball team was a shooting guard for Cal State Northridge. I received a ceritificate for coaching and training basketball in 2004. I have experience coaching boys and girls ages 8 through 17. I have also trained one on one with youth ages 8 through 17 in the basic fundamentals and to enhance their confidence in leadership and basketball skills. I am comfortable with working with this age group (8-17). As a basketball coach I will review offense and defense as well as the rules of basketball. I will also teach skills such as dribbling, catching, passing, rebounding, shooting and sound defense. My trainning will consist of a series of drills to improve one's shooting percentage, hand and eye coordination, increase speed and agility, increase jumping ability and how to outwit your opponent on offense.

• drawing

  I am an emerging artist, whose love for music, sports, nature and people are reflected in my art work. I studied the following subjects in college: Drawing I, Drawing II, Art History and illustration. I taught Drawing 101 and 102 to Junior High students for three years. Each student learned the fundamentals of drawing such as line, form, depth, perspective and shading.

• study skills

  Organization, Time Management, Focus and Setting Goals are the major components for effective study skills. Once the foundation is set these principles can be applied to any subject. I enjoy working with youth ages 8 through 13 in the area of study skills. Through my experience of tutoring in this field many youth have developed self confidence and a willingness to learn. As a result the individuals have improved their grades and understand the importance of excelling in school.

• volleyball

  In high school I participated several years on the varsity volleyball team. I have four years of experience in coaching; ranging from ages 8 to 18. I received training for coaching from a former USC Men's Volley coach. As a coach I have trained many youth one on one in the areas of serving, passing, setting and spiking. I have assisted at volleyball clinics during the summer. My contribution as a coach is to give youth the proper foundation of volleyball.
