Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Drawing
I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art that includes drawing, painting, design, ceramics and sculpture. As an artist who sells pottery, I draw designs on my work and sketch ideas in a book. I have worked with multiple mediums ranging from pencil, to watercolors, to sgraffito drawing on stoneware clay.
Public Speaking
Having over 20 years of public speaking experience, I am qualified to help others who would like to learn how to prepare speeches and presentations. Understanding your audience, knowing your subject matter, and preparing to speak with the time allowed are critical aspects of public speaking. I learned all of this from years in the non-profit world giving presentations and workshops across the country to various audiences. Each presentation will have its unique aspects and being well prepared with an outline, notes, power point, and handouts will make for a successful speaking engagement.
Writing
Starting with a Masters Degree in 1993 I wrote a thesis that served as a program proposal. I worked as an editorial assistant for two years for a publishing firm, and have been involved in writing research reports, training guides, brochures, websites, catalogs, grant proposals and final reports, education evaluations, speeches, presentations, and more. I have also taught at the graduate university level, been a writing coach for high school students, and been a writing tutor for college level students.
