    About Lourdes T.

    4.6
    (5)
    I have been tutoring and teaching for twenty years for private students as well as at academic institutions (University of Arizona, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Phoenix, Capella Online, and Pima and Gulf Coast Community Colleges). In sessions, I find out what the student really needs and help them achieve realistic goals through evaluation, pacing and persistent challenge. No matter what level of achievement is desired, I customize a lesson plan and learning regimen and guide the student to cross transformational thresholds. I look for and draw out the potential in students and help them achieve the competency they need to be independent learners and succeed in their endeavors professionally and personally. I also utilize recording devices so that lessons can be reviewed later and I employ Skype, Google hangouts and an online Whiteboard, so screen-sharing is enabled. *** Lesson Details *** First 60 minutes is evaluation and introduction to principles Subsequent sessions are training in skills with assignments. For test prep, mock exams are cheduled. For performing arts students, after five weeks, there is a performance evaluation (recital or scheduled performance). *** Specialties *** Academic: Applied Linguistics Field Research Logic and critical thinking Research writing and critical analysis Philosophy Communication theory Evolutionary theory Gender theory Cross-cultural communication Philosophy of mind Sociology, Anthropology and Psychology French and German, English and ESL Educational Theory Creative writing, poetry and literary criticism Performing Arts: Film, television and stage acting Diction and Accents Literary and Film Criticism Gutar and voice (bel canto) Musical theater Film, Sound and Stage Production Songwriting

    Had a great experience with Lourdes as my tutor! She is fantastic! Defiantly a person who knows experimental psychology and learned so much from her on so many research aspects. She taught in a way that I could understand and when I did not understand right a way she was so patient to explain it a different way along with great examples for me to understand and know how to apply it myself. Thank you Thank you Lourdes! If I ever need help again I contact you again.

    I've had a wonderful time learning from Lourdes. She draws from a vast array of knowledge to help her student achieve their goals and tailors each lesson accordingly. Lourdes also offers her students exercises as well as supplementary readings to further your education. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher!
