Part-time College Student Tutor for Mandarin and Math

I've been teaching my two younger sisters and helping them with their work since I went to school. I've tutored Mandarin and Math to other students for about six months already. So far, it has been a great experience for me and I would like to do more teaching and help students out while earning an extra income.

My comments on tutoring Drama : I have been a theater artist all of my adult life. I can coach acting, tutor folks learning lines, or help a college student non major understand and know theater history.

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience working with k-12. Along with employed tutoring, volunteering, and mentoring. I am qualified to tutor in English, math, and social studies because throughout my studies I have excelled in all three subjects and have tutored them also. I enjoy tutoring math because I get to constantly push the limits of how I can explain concepts. In English, I read lots off long books. And social studies, for the same reason as English, I enjoy reading books! currently for the wccsd, i tutor in math and science. i have guest spoken at a school for science and i have lead the discussion at the same school in math, grades 2-5. i am currently getting the substitute teaching credentials for the school district.
My teaching style changes with each student. My passion for teaching and working wit children is driven by the fresh way they have of looking at problems and the world aroun ... read more

My name is Vi Tran and a college graduate. I have always been motivated to help children in their academic studies. I have tutored K-8 children mostly consisted in the After-School programs (ASP) in Stockton since High School and throughout my years at the University of the Pacific (UOP). During the last three years, I have mentored students in English, Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, Arts & Crafts, and Conflict Management. I have recently been teaching three Reach Programs to a group of 4-6th graders at El Dorado Elementary School. I was also a Teacher's Assistant for SUSD Jose Valdes Summer Math Institute since last summer. My main job was a Lead Tutor, promoted to Facilitator, for Grunsky's E.S. After-School Program. My overall GPA from SJDC and UOP was 3.29 and 3.79 in High School.

I believe anyone can teach a subject, having enough knowledge of a subject allows one to pass it on. However, I feel what many teachers do not do is teach students how to learn. It is in my belief that teaching students to learn enables them to think independently allowing them to become more creative rather than repetitive. So not only do I teach students the subject, I teach them how to learn and apply it to every other subject.
As a accomplished student, I realized I always had help along the help with achieving academic success. From teachers and counselors to my peers and older students. I began to help other with academics as early as the third grade, however I began to commit to tutoring in High School and continue it through-out college, in hopes to eventually becoming a teacher in the future.

I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring a wide range of students in a vast array of different settings. Most recently, I have tutored reading to 4th graders at an elementary school, taught ESL and GED subjects to adults through an adult education center, and taught creative writing to 5th-8th graders at a summer camp. I have also tutored Japanese-speaking businessmen in English as well as American culture, and tutored a family from Hong-Kong in English communication, writing, and college preparation. I am also a former professional clown and have over 13 years experience working closely with children. Indeed, I also have my own thriving 9 and 12 year old children who lovingly call me "English Teacher" when they want help with their Language Arts and Social Studies homework.

I believe in "Assertive Discipline". This style uses lots of verbal praise, rewards and incentives. It keeps learning on a positive, moving forward track. This style of teaching is never negative. It encourages learning through engaging, age-appropriate, research-based, fun activities. It starts by assessing each child to determine the student's strengths and weaknesses. Then the appropriate materials are gathered to address each area of need. Tests, charts, diagrams, folders, manipulatives, and many other electronic learning tools are used to track progress and build confidence in each student. All children can learn if they are properly motivated, diagnosed, and given the appropriate learning materials.
I have over twenty years of experience teaching reading. I completed all of the Houghton/Mifflin Language Arts training sessions that taught California teachers how to be expert L ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When you meet me in person you will immediately feel that I am someone who relates well with children and teens. I get to know students on a personal level and find out their learning style and modes of learning. I also assess their current skill level and knowledge of the subject so that I know where from where to start. There are often "holes" of information that are missing from students that can cause increasing problems as lessons build upon knowledge previously learned. Tutoring helps to fill those holes and to help kids find success! I am exceedingly patient, flexible and am very professional. I truly care about each success and frustration in my students and I believe in kids when everyone else has given up on them.
I am an educator who has experience in a variety of teaching environments with a range of student ability, needs, ages and cultures. I hold a Clear California ... read more

I have been working with kids of various age groups for about a year now. As of now, I am involved with Breakthrough Sacramento, which is non- profit organization that help underachieved Middle school kids to advance into great High schools in Sacramento region. I can work with groups as well as individuals and I am solid believer that every child is a winner, he/she just have to find his/her potential to be called a winner. I believe in slow, but explanatory method of teaching.Using fast pace learning or harsh words for kids is not in my philosophy. I am a very calm but energetic, patience but a true dedicator towards my job, which is making sure that each child achieve success in their respective fields.

As a graduate in Sociology I have learned why people do what they do and a self understanding of human actions. I am a driven individual and strive to be the best in all that I do or present. I want everyone that I know to succeed in everything that they do as well. I have tutored elementary to high school students since I was in high school for 2 summers, as well as on the weekends at Susan B. Anthony. I was part of the math, science, and engineering program in High School, as well as president for my class for 3 consecutive years. In addition, I have research, editing, writing, and grammatical skills and I would be a great critique. I never hold anything back.

I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2003 and I have taught creative writing, theatre, playwriting, and acting since then. In 2005, I gained my substitute teacher credential and have taught all around Sacramento, substituting for teachers in all subjects. I also write plays and poems. I have always had an interest and talent for teaching kids. I have taught kids from one on one, all the way to audiences of 300. I have also worked as a nanny for 10 years, so I know what kids are into, what they like, and how to get them to respond.
I believe that kids learn better when they are enjoying themselves and sometimes even having fun! I try to make the things they are learning interesting and entertaining. If a child does not want to learn, they won't, by adding fun into the equation, you have created the desire to learn in that child. I am very patient and easy-going, but I also know whe ... read more

Individualizing English grammar, composition, and lit. instruction became a teaching strength during 12 years in secondary schools. Skills for ELLs were honed by nine years at a Japanese university. I tutored adults in my “Have English-Will Travel” company serving personal/business needs of Silicon Valley firms’ foreign nationals. Effectiveness with L1 and L2 speakers is augmented by detailed assessment and diagnosis of skills, with personalized remediation for desired proficiencies. Living in three cultures and specializing in Intercultural Communication enables connection with a variety of students. Publications reflect funded investigation of language minority students’ academic progress and well-being in Japanese public schools.
I love learning, and try to impart its joy to all I encounter. Much of that joy is realized by my students in developing and mastering needed and wante ... read more

I believe in individualized teaching. In my sixth grade classroom, I individualized instruction wherever possible. In reading I tested my students and placed them in books at their reading level. I had them write reading summaries and corrected their first drafts. In sixth weeks, I retested and in most instances moved students to a higher level. In my math classes, I tested students and had them begin at the level that they needed to master. If a student could not add, I had him work on his addition skills. I moved students to the next skill level once they had mastered the level that they were working on. Of course, I did group teaching in my classroom, but I individualized wherever possible.
I taught for twenty five years at the middle school level mostly in a self contained sixth grade classroom. In addition to teaching reading, English, math, science,and social studies, I t ... read more

My passion is helping students achieve their highest individual potential in school. I believe if every student were given and Individualized Education Program, our students would accomplish much more in school. I believe when learning is fun, students accomplish more. I spend a little more time on the front end finding out what a student enjoys outside of the classroom to make learning relevant and FUN! I believe every student can learn and every student deserves a chance.
