About Me

I look forward to learning about you and helping you get through your reading, writing, public speaking, social studies, test-taking and organizational challenges. Let me know your interests and we can supplement any reading that includes your hobbies. We can add some games, too. Just remember to bring your homework and due dates so I can help you stay on task and ahead of your assignments. I coordinated a tutoring program in CA for Hewlett-Packard and worked with first through 12th grade individually with shy kids, U.S. kids, and those from a different culture. In addition, I volunteered with Toastmasters Public Speaking for kids and will be a judge for mock trials for middle school. Last month, I learned about mock trials with high school students, and it was very interesting. I have a Masters in Educational Technology from University of Pittsburgh in PA, undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Duquesne University, and advanced paralegal certificate from Duquesne University. I taught K-12 in San Diego and also wrote test questions for Measurement, an educational testing company. I also taught at Duke, as well as University of Phoenix online. I look forward to meeting you!

Q&A with Ginny

My teaching philosophy is teaching the student holistically rather than the subject. By that, I mean I like to involve all five senses and make learning experiential, and customize the learning to make it interesting and fun for each student. Finding a student's motivation helps me understand how to tailor the sessions and suggest supplemental material. If I find a student is unmotivated, then I explore different strategies or other methods to expedite the learning curve. We all learn at different rates and different ways. The best way is making it meaningful and fun!
