Private tutor in West Allis, WI
Education
Presently I am a senior at Cardinal Stritch University pursuing a BA, in Computer Science. Expected graduation date from Cardinal Stritch University is May of 2016. Liberal Arts Degree from Milwaukee Area Technical College. Graduation Date: June 2013. I graduated in 2010 from high school in California at West Covina High School, in Southern California. During elementary school I was home schooled by my parents who used a variety of unique, alternative, and advanced sophisticated educational techniques allowing for a more non traditional diversified education.
Experience
Past experience tutoring elementary school children in regards to their homework and reading skills, in the after school SAFE Program for the West Allis Recreation Department. I enjoy tutoring because of the large smiles of satisfaction that grow on the faces of the children, as they discover and solve problems with a growing confidence. I enjoy watching the pursuit of curiosity turn into an eventual life long love for learning. In the words of Plato, "Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each."

Hobbies
I enjoy working with computers and staying technologically up to date regarding all the latest innovative technologies. I enjoy building computers from scratch , creating unique websites, as well as learning new programming languages. My disposition is calm and friendly with a love for socializing with people. I enjoy bringing out the best in people and I am able to work well with all types of children. I have unlimited patience even when dealing with children that are naturally more hyperactive than the common child or those who may learn at a slower pace. My experience has taught over and over, that the child who begins slow in the learning process, will eventually catch on and excel by leaps and bounds; many times reaching the advanced stages of development for their age group. I believe I have a knack for breaking down complex problems to their most simplistic form allowing a child to instinctively assimilate a conclusive answer with a fluid natural ease.
