A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the goal of education is to teach children that leaning can be fun and meaningful. I think that this can be done by making sure that the learning environment is rich with multiple resources for students. There should be manipulatives for math, and all learning should be hands-on and active to meet the needs of every type of learner in the classroom. I believe that the role of the teacher should be as a facilitator where the teacher acts like a mentor and guides learning. The teacher should be an expert in everything that is being taught but should expect the children to guide their own learning. A teacher should hold high expectations on their students and should always follow through on those expectations. I believe that students should be self-directed learners who are guided by the teacher. As long as there are many rich resources in the classroo ... read more

I am a compassionate teacher who promotes an encouraging learning environment so that my client will excel in the subject matter. Not only do I address the weaknesses that the student has in the specific subject, but I provide useful study skills and self-help practices that will enable the student to excel outside of the tutoring environment. All of my students begin to enjoy the learning material and in turn make great progress in their academic work.
During my undergradaute education, I began tutoring children aged grade K-12 in math, science and reading. My biology undergraduate degree has provided me with extensive skills in Physics, Chemistry, Math, biology, as well as all basic science material. I have also earned my Master's in Public Health which solidified my writing skills in the process of writing research papers and essays in a broad array of topics. I have tutored stu ... read more

Through out my work with children diagnosed with autism I have learned and implemented B.F. Skinner's Operent Conditioning model. Although punishment is in the model, my specific teaching style only includes reinforcement using encouragement and praise to help your child reach his/her optimal potential. Working with children diagnosed with autism, I have learned patience and the ability to adapt each session as the student goes through their individual learning process. My work has prepared me for all possible challenges with a range of students who fall along the continuum of learning abilities.
My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used i ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In reality, I have been tutoring almost since I could read or write. The first tutoring job I held was in elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, I did my first two years of secondary education via home-school and stayed at our small, two-room elementary school in order to help the younger students. During my senior year of academy, I served as a Resident Assistant and Dormitory Tutor. After earning my bachelors degree in Biology, I returned home and worked at our local community college as a math tutor, and then went on to privately tutor several individuals, including one student who had been diagnosed with ADD. I have tutored students in a variety of different subjects, but the concentration of my tutoring has been in English, mathematics and science.
Working with children is such a joy! I really enjoy being able to observe the moment the "lightbulb" co ... read more

I have had the experience to maintain patience when teaching students. I have always loved helping children become confident in who they are as well as in achieving their academic potential. I make an effort to create a comfortable environment where students are able to approach me for all their questions as we work to improve the skills they must have for a future full of hope and opportunity.
I was a foster parent for fourteen years in which I spent numerous hours with each child weekly working with them to improve their academic skills. I taught a 4th/5th grade class in the 2006/2007 school year. I graduated with a 3.92 GPA where I excelled as a writer. I currently write the company newsletter at my place of employment. I love to teach and hope to be able to spend more time doing so. My BS is in Human Services.I also have added alcohol and drug studies to that degree. I will be ... read more

I am a very goal oriented person and expect those around me to posses the same quality. I have a great deal of patience, a positive attitude and I love helping students do well. While under pressure, I always maintain a positive attitude. I recently obtained my BA in Sociology from the University of California, Riverside and I am very eager to continue my work with students and provide them the best assistance possible to ensure they excel in all that they do. My work background and coursework have supplied me with an understanding of dealing with the adolescent community. I want to make a difference in the lives of the students I teach so that they will be motivated to do the same.
Over the past 3 years, I have assisted students with very different personalities. Some were excited to receive the help while others were embarrassed to need it. My main goal when teaching is allowing ... read more

I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Children will meet and often surpass any goal that is given to them if you show that you believe in them. I use a hands-on approach, as much as possible, with a problem-solving emphasis. I firmly believe that a child remembers things more if he is able to work it out for himself. As a result, I take more of a mentoring position the older the child is. It was in this way that my daughter received both an AA and an AS degree the night she received her high school diploma.
I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years. When my son started seventh grade, I b ... read more

Education has been my passion and dream for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I followed my dream and graduated from Cal State California with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies and a concentration in History. Due to my education I am exceedingly familiar with classroom settings and the professionalism that comes with it. I also have accumulated plentiful hours of observations in different classrooms, along with many hours of volunteer help in numerous elementary and preschool classrooms. Within this past year I have done extensive studying for the CSET exam, this studying has furthered my understanding of the elementary educational testing.
I truly believe that children are the future and I teach and treat them according to that. Teaching with Understanding is the primary goal that I have. Through my own experience I have learned that every child learns and understands ... read more

I am a California State University, Los Angeles graduate, holding a BA in English, with a specific focus on clasroom teaching. Throughout high school and college, I was driven to assist my peers, using my knowledge to ensure that they understood the subject matter and would succeed in any academic endeavors. As a nanny, I have several years experience teaching small children to read. I am also well versed in theatre arts, dance, and world history.
I believe that an open dialogue is a teacher's most needed resource. Any child needs to feel as though he or she can express concerns or apprehensions without the fear of feeling embarrassed or stupid. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Teaching should, of course, relay necessary information, but it should also foster a student's drive to succeed, as well as the knowledge that any goal can be reached through ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I consider my ability to observe and adapt to situations that may not be considered ordinary as an advantage. Through education, I have developed techniques that enhance my analytical and critical thinking skills. My closest linguistic “friends” in life are How, What, When, Where, Who, and Why. With their help and the help of others, I know I will succeed as a teacher and student. I am a perpetual pupil and will remain so until the end. I also draw upon my experiences as a husband, parent, son, brother, friend, and associate when assessing interactions and conversations with those individuals I come into contact with on a daily basis. We are all here and together for such a short time, and time is an irreplaceable asset. Therefore, it only stands to reason that moments of learning should not be wasted. I consider teaching to be a privilege as well as a serious responsibility, and I will ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is TLC. I believe that with positive reinforcement and kindness, a child responds better. A simple, "good try, but *this* would be even better" goes a long way with a child because they feel like they have given their best and are willing to learn more.
I have one year experience as an independent tutor for elementary school students. I have experience tutoring English at the middle and high school level, as well. I hold two Associate degrees from Riverside Community College, one in early childhood studies and one in speech communication. My Bachelors degree is from the University of California, Riverside in English. I work very well with children and I find they responds very well to my kindness and patience. I look forward to working with your child!
