Experienced teaching college student for hire.

I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Assistant for the past 8 years. I am currently attending school to become a special education teacher. I have experience teaching many different students from various grade levels and have tracked their academic progression. I have ran several reading and math interventions for my school sites for kindergarten through 8th grade.
Interactive modeling of examples, repetition, and simplifying subject matter are key components of my teaching style. Many students have difficulty relating to academic material due the lack being given time to practice example assignments. I also teach universal strategies of how to study material to fully understand assignments.

Earth Science is one of my top subjects!

I have been teaching for twenty seven years in various grades, schools, and types of classes. I taught for 16 years in a bilingual classroom. My last 11 years of teaching have been in a traditional classroom. I have taught every grade level from 1st to 7th, and currently, I even teach an ESL class after school. My areas of expertise would be writing, English grammar, Spanish, and social sciences. I currently tutor students to prepare for their state tests in May. I feel that my experience has led me to a place where I can say that I am prepared and qualified to teach most students with success.
I respect my students and they respect me. I expect them to work hard, because I work hard, as well. I will do what is humanly possible to help them achieve their goals.

More About This Tutor...

I have taught in a church setting with both Jr. High and High School students for 17 years. Both in a large setting, small groups and one-on-one. Mentoring was also a big part of this so I have learned how to meet kids where they are and interact with them at their level and learning style. I have a BA in Youth Ministry and Bible. In addition I have worked in the IT field for 20 years now and also have alot of knowledge in mathematics and architecture.
I love putting energy into kids and being able to help them reach their potential. Each child is able to learn. It is finding that aspect that clicks for them (verbal, visual, written) and how they associate tasks and goals. I look forward to working with your child and give them the best chance to succeed.

I strongly believe that education matters. It is important for all students who want to be successful in life. I am also aware that education comes in many different forms. For some it is in the books themselves. For others it is in the interpretation of the work, and for many it is simply in the joy of learning and building self esteem. Throughout my 20+ years of teaching and tutoring students, I have become very aware that all students can learn and be successful if they can find their strengths and a way to use them to their advantage. Once they feel success, it becomes an addiction and they want more and more of it. I feel it is my job to be patient and help them find their strengths.

All students have equal rights to the best possible education regardless of race, gender, religion, or academic level of achievement. Children enter our classrooms with a variety of backgrounds and a wide range of abilities and needs. I will strive to help and encourage those in need of more assistance.

A Little Bit About Me...

Prior to receiving my degree from University of California, Davis, I worked in the classroom as a teacher’s assistant for two Professors at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California. As a professor’s assistant, I had the opportunity to tutor students, grade assignments, and organize material for lectures and labs. I held tutorial sessions to clarify information for students who were in need of extra help with the class material. Being a tutor for math, science, and study skills required me to have patience and great communication in order to relate the information effectively. Also, I teach the fundamentals of basketball to children, ages 3-14, at the community centers and coach women’s varsity basketball at Bear Creek High School in Stockton, California. My experiences helped me motivate children to reach their highest potential so that they will have confidence to succeed in ... read more
