"I have been tutoring for Albuquerque Public Schools for two years. I have tutored all subjects. When I tutor, I try to make the subject fun. Some subjects can be boring. I have taught computer classes in a private school (just one class). I was working full time and teaching this class during my lunch hour. I also tutored a 3rd grader at a private school. I have subbed 1 and 2nd graders.

I love to tutor because I learn more than the student. I enjoy meeting new people. I love to see the student learn and excel.

Before I retired, I wrote multi-million dollar contracts. In addition, I had to write business letters and communicate with contractors.

I was a member of Toastmasters. I won several awards. I have made presentations to supervisors when implementing a contracting system for National Nuclear Security Agency.

I have a bachelors and masters in business. I have 32 years working for the Federal Government in an office either as an Admin Assistant or as a Contract Specialist.

I believe that tutoring can help encourage students. Being a tutor helps not only the student, but also the tutor. I want to be able to encourage and inspire a student that may have trouble in a certain subject. Finally, I want to encourage a student to never give

up. You are learning no matter how old you are." less...
