My comments on tutoring Musical : Music Theory and Musicianship

I have a total of 7 years of teaching experience. From 2010-2013, I worked as an enrichment counselor for the Pomona Unified School District. This job required me to create lesson plans and manage a class of 20 students for 3 hours a week, 5 days a week. From 2013-2015, I worked for the Chino Unified School District's AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. In this job, I offered life readiness and college readiness skills and tutored various common core subjects to groups of 5 Jr. high and high school students. I networked myself through the AVID program, and began my freelance tutoring services in math and science. I had to leave the AVID program in 2015 to pursue a very important job opportunity to work as a Music Assistant for a program called " The Music Immersion Experience" (MIE), located in San Gabriel. In this job, I assisted with classroom set up, tuning of ... 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

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

My first student teaching experience was in a preschool. The classroom was very play based and not very structured. I learned how to communicate with the students while they were playing and was able to help them learn through scaffolding I learned how to model positive behaviors to the children and stay away from the negative. I student taught in a preschool classroom. This classroom was inclusive and included many different kinds of learners. There were ten gifted children, two children with autism, one child with epilepsy, and the rest who were at benchmark. This was a great experience because I was placed with such an incredible seasoned mentor teacher. She taught me that being calm kept the children calm. I learned exactly how to plan, attended meetings, and really got a feel for the teaching profession. The lessons that I planned had to suit many different learning styles, so many ... read more

Working with children is such a joy! I really enjoy being able to observe the moment the "lightbulb" comes on. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of working as a substitute teacher in two different school districts, and have instructed students ranging in level from kindergarten to high-school. My teaching style is a blend of positive praise, firmness and creativity. Whether working one-on one or with a group, I do my best to always present the material using logical, fun and varied methods to ensure my students' understanding. My hope is that they, like myself, will continue on as life-long learners, able to impart their precious knowledge with others.
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 ed ... 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

I am a very one on one type of person. I want to make sure the child understands on their level of thinking, which might mean using what they use on a daily basis to explain clearer. Depending on the age of the child and what subject that needs to be taught will depend on which way I will attack the situation.
Over the past 4 years, I've worked at the Colton Community services recreatioon depatrment. As an employee I've worked in Drop-In Recreation, in which I provide my assistance in helping the children do homework and tutor them as they needed. fot the past year and a half, we've started a new program called Homework help, which is to focus more on helping the students one on one with homwwork, reading, math, projects, etc. I am currently working on getting my AA in Child Devolpment to continue my drive to become a teacher.

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 perserverance. I enjoy helping students of all ages, and I look forward to what my students will inevitably teach me.
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.

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!

I have a vast array of experience working with kids and working within a teaching setting. Both of my parents are teacher's, my father a private school teacher of biology and my mother a kindergarten teacher. I have also worked with the YMCA in New York for a inner-city day care camp in Newburgh, NY. I have used my parents experience and knowledge to my benefit when I was a resident adviser at SUNY Oneonta, which allowed me to work with students who had just come to university for the first time or who were transferring over from other institutions. Using all this knowledge and experience would greatly benefit not just myself when working but also the students whom I will be tutoring.
My teaching style would best be described as very hands on and more visual then verbal. I believe that you can only say some things so many times, but using more of a hands on and visually stimulating ... read more
