As I graduated from college with my California State Teaching Credential,I was able to teach 2nd grade for the Los Angeles City School District for three years. During that time I sought to gain as much experience and expertise as possible to prepare me for teaching in a school for missionary children overseas. I studied Spanish intensively for a year in Mexico preparing me to work in Santiago, Chile where I taught first and second grade for almost 40 years. I am fluent in Spanish and have taught English as as second language.
I have enjoyed very much working with children and I know that every student has his own learning style and my teaching must be adapted to them. I am patient, even with children who do not speak fluent English and I seek to encourage them to seek success. I believe a phonics approach to reading can help children learn to read quickly and confidently. I ... read more

I enjoy teaching children and helping them accomplish their goals. I believe that learning should be fun. I try to motivate each child by focusing on their strengths. I encourage each child to try their best. I believe that each child has the potential to do well in school and I feel that it is my job to help them succeed. I have helped several of my students improve their math and reading grades, dramatically! One of my students was failing math and he received a B on his last report card! The other student went from a fourth grade reading level to a seventh grade reading level in less than three months. I enjoy seeing the smiles on the children's faces when they get a good report card and it makes my job worthwhile.

A Little Bit About Me...

It was required that I take Education in a Multicultural Society in college, which peak my interest in education. I began tutoring students and found it very exciting to see students learned and comprehend an assignment or lesson that they were having some difficulty with. As a supervisor with a Social Service agency it allowed me to become even more involved with the community and education. I began as a substitute teacher for about a year - until a school Principle asked me to please become a full time teacher for an algebra class due to my accounting background and strong classroom management style. In addition, I home school my own son as he became older and was having a difficult time with high school. Every child should have an opportunity to succeed and a right to an education.
I enjoy teaching and watching children learn. I do believe that all children can learn and should ... read more

I love teaching and working with children. I believe for my experience that all kids can learn but in their own ways and time. This means that there are approximately three kinds of learning: visually (visual things help this kind of children to learn better like drawings or putting color to difference things), auditory (this ones like to learn having backgrounds of sounds. It could be either with music, songs, etc). I'm a very peaceful but right person who loves to see kids grow in every way. I am patient, easy ongoing and considerate. I believe that a few good educators can make a difference not only in your child's life but in the whole world.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher I will have a big part in shaping the lives of students. As a teacher I hope to make learning an exciting and interesting part of their lives. For students, their possibilities are endless and we have to make them aware that they can achieve anything. A teacher is not only responsible for giving a student skills in their particular content area, but skills they can carry on throughout their lives. Learning gives us the opportunity to better understand ourselves, our communities, and our world. I believe it is important to employ a variety of learning styles in a because students learn in different ways. I will teach to the needs of each student so that all learners can feel capable and successful.

My first experience as a tutor was in my college tutor lab. I tutored both college level Math and Chemistry. I found that students I tutored found it easier to understand complex concepts when their individual needs could be addressed one on one. If a student does not understand a concept the first way I explain it we try again a different way, but if they do understand we can move on and not waste their time. I have taught high school for two years. In my first year I taught both Chemistry and Biology. This past year I taught Geometry and Liberal Arts Mathematics. I hold a certificate in Exceptional Student Education that has proved very valuable in finding strategies to help students that learn differently.
I like to start with a relaxed but alert student in a safe learning environment. I assess the student’s knowledge of the subject then I build on what the student knows. If the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I consider myself a very practical and patient person. I believe in setting realistic goals for children and when they meet them, celebrate it wholeheartedly. We need to reinforce and support our children in a constructive manner. I believe in being practical when teaching children. They connect better when they can relate to the topic. Most of my teachers were wonderful people that found a way to connect with me. Those that did experience a wonderful and fulfilling payback which was seeing their students improve their skills and become more confident. It’s an unbelievable feeling when you know that your support impacted a child positively and that child has grown up to be a kind and wonderful human being.
My entire education came from public schools. I was blessed because I had supportive parents and wonderful teachers that shared their knowledge with me. These teachers w ... read more

My teaching style involves a number of methods to accommodate a diverse classroom. Students learn differently therefore he or she ust be exposed to various styles opf teaching so the student can develop his or her learning style. I am a firm believer that open ended questions and learning through discovery enables students to remeber information. I encourage hands on activities particulaly lab assignments because these labs help students understand concepts taught during lecture. I am very patient with my students because I believe that everyone learn differently and are motivated by different things.
