Experience Summary
I have eight years experience tutoring subjects like Basic Math, Basic Reading, Grammar, English 250, English 260, and English 270 at Shasta College. I also tutored subjects such as Keyboarding I and Keyboarding II, which is Typing I and Typing II on a computer; Machine Calculations, Business English, Business Communications, English as a Second Language, and Excel. In the eight years I tutored at Shasta College, these are the subjects I tutored and loved to see the success of my students after I helped them.
Teaching Style
I teach everyone slowly and by going over the subject over and over again until it is understood. I am a very patient tutor and am good at what I do. I try to think of ways that would be easy for my students to understand. I can even work with Special Education students. My son was in Special Education all through grammar and high school, so I understand their needs.
My Hobbies
I do not really have any hobbies, but I do like to dance, sing, go for walks, and just have fun.
| Elementary Grammar |
Proficiency: Experienced

| Elementary Math |
Proficiency: I know the basics
|
| I am good in basic math. My weakness is story problems unless they are really simple. I know how to do fractions, percentages, and decimals really well. I can do very basic Algebra, but I am not in anyway an expert at it. |
