Valerie: Nassau County tutor

Certified Tutor

HI! So excited to work with you. *** I am primarily a graphic design instructor with expertise in InDesign, photoshop, illustrator, wix, premiere pro and imovie as well as final cut pro. *** After teaching at the University level for more than 20 years, I've resigned that tenure position as of June 2018 to seek new opportunities outside of the traditional classroom to work with people like you.

Practically my entire life I've been a teacher in some capacity. I remember even playing school during summers as a kid. I had a really tough professor in my undergrad mention to me 3 weeks before graduation that I should consider teaching when I randomly ran into him and told him I didn't know what I was doing after graduation. In the spring, I audited a pottery class and with only about 20 hours of experience on the wheel more than the novice students I ended up being able to jump in and help the people sitting near me when the expert potter adjunct refused to help them. At the end of the semester, they told me I was a great teacher and better than the person in charge. That's me. I am able to work with you individually to guide you through whatever challenges you are facing. That's why I consider myself a coach.
