Experience Summary
I have worked with the LAUSD district, at Granada Hills Elementary School, as an Instructional AID. This position required me to work with students hands on, either in groups or one-on-one. I helped students who were either falling behind on subjects or were having trouble finishing assignments. I also worked with groups of students helping them improve writing composition or comprehension skills. I also had students who were new to the country,with little English. I sat down with them an hour each day during school, working to improve their reading and writing skills.
I have also work as an ELA tutor with NCLB Learning With Laptops. This is a program that works with LAUSD, providing in-home tutoring for students who are low-income and need extra help outside of school. We use tablets to do activities and practice various skills. During the first session we tested students based on the California State Standards for each grade level and then using those results worked on standards that students did not test well on. Each student received 17 hours of tutoring working on those standards. During the last session another test was given to see how much students had improved. I also worked with students that had IEP's.
