iloring Excel and related productivity lessons for particular prerequisites.
Due to my limited funds, I do not have direct experience with the Adobe suite, but I have extensive knowledge of related, free distributions that are transferable. I also have formal education in the field of English, innovative leadership, and Education. My current level is PhD candidate (currently passed defense, so pretty much done) for the terminal degree in Education. I am member of the Association for Language Learning, located in Leicester, UK.
My most popular subjects are as follows:
North American English Pronunciation Practice for ESL (NAEPP-ESL) or Accent-Reduction:
*****Each Online Lesson with Free Video & MP3 recordings, and about 50 GB onedrive folder for lesson files*****
Carefully following Burkkowsky's (1969) multi-media method, I have taught this subject for over five years for public and private causes, such as library, individuals, and language schools. My emphasis for pronunciation is a scientific, comprehensive overview and treatment of the various sounds, rhythms, inflections, and patterns the spoken language integrates. I encourage practicing and mastering both the sounds themselves, as well as how the sounds are connected and contextualized. I use contemporary sound recording and .wav editing software (acoustic waveform analysis) to enable dynamic feedback and self-monitoring .

German Language and Culture:
*****Each Online Lesson with Free Video & MP3 Recordings and about 50 GB onedrive folder for lesson files*****
I have grown up bilingual English and German, attending an international school from a very young age. I attended, also, a German public secondary school, where I earned a diploma, and I completed college-level German credits. I taught German in the language lab of a community college, for special needs students, and for private agencies, such as Tutor Doctor. My emphasis is on a comparative introduction of the language to draw out a common ground and familiarize possibly daunting differences. I also enjoy asserting that German is often underestimated as a rewarding second language to study.
Microsoft Excel:
***It is recommended students own or have regular access to a personal computer after 2002 in order to get the best benefit***
This spreadsheet and data management software program is of crucial, pivotal importance in any business and financial environment. The program enables efficient and prompt development of arithmetic and statistical calculations of vast data sets. It also helps to visualize and juxtapose related or even discrepant variables. My approach to teaching the program is cumulative and holistic, starting with an introduction to personal inventory management to the processing of large data sets using pivot tables, charts, and dashboards. My emphasis is on making the program as intelligible and transparent as possible to avoid frustration and intimidation. I use a lot of examples and visuals that are readily available.
Typing:
***It is recommended students own or have regular access to a personal computer after 2002 in order to get the best benefit***
I teach the touch-typing method that is the convention for most journalistic and input-intensive organizational settings. I teach the home row, proper finger and hand positions, proficiency with left and right hands, as well as posture and concentration methods. I enrich the teaching with resources from the web, such as speed-building and error reduction.

About Damian
On to the boring stuff! :) I have experience with JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, React.js, HTML, CSS, C++, Windows OS, Computer Science, and lots of Math. I studied aerospace engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where I spent way too much time staring at complicated mathematical problems and solving them by hand and through computer programming. I was in the top tenth of my class and was invited to all the honors societies available to me of which I chose to join the Phi Kappa Phi Honors Society. In the end, I chose to drop aerospace in pursuit of software engineering in which I currently stand.
I like to do a variety of things in my free time. I enjoy hiking and exploring new trails with amazing views. I love music so I play the drums and recently picked up the ukulele. I'm an avid reader and learner of new things. I'm cons

Hola! That's the extent of my Spanish. Good think I'm not here to teach Spanish, ha! Anyway, I have worked as a Front End Web Developer since 2006 and have designed and coded WordPress powered websites since 2004.
I pretty much learned WordPress on my own by messing around in the code (theme files) and in the backend (where you post articles and such). I continue to learn WordPress much the same way. I have freelanced on and off since 2006 and now freelance full time since 2014 after leaving Adobe where I was a front end developer for facebook applications.
As a freelance WordPress front end developer (and occasional designer), I not only build, customize, install, update, WordPress websites for clients, I also do so for my personal projects. And since I like to keep busy, I always have a personal project (on and offline)!
