A Little Bit About Me...

I excelled in both math and English tracks in high school, and when they ran out of math classes I could take, I started on computers. I put myself through college tutoring all levels of math from basic mathematics to advanced calcusus (though I never did like trig). I've been an award-winning professional website designer/developer for 16 years.

The foundation of my philosophical approach to teaching is that every student can learn. With that theory in mind, practice in the field of teaching has also shown me that actual acquisition of knowledge is a direct function of teacher effectiveness, student motivation, and student support. My style of teaching can best be described as student-centered. Every student learns differently. It is the teacher's responsibility to: 1. Adapt curriculum and lesson planning to the individual needs of all students; 2. Use student assessment as a guide to assessing teacher effectiveness; and 3. Evaluate teaching methods to find ways to re-teach the content.
I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, TESOL Certificate, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, Elementary Education. I have taught elementary, university composition, and working adult students. I have also particip ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my college years I have been employed by two different after school programs for a combined amount of 6 years tutoring/teaching in public school after school programs. (Grades K-6) I also spent 2 months teaching full time 3rd and 4th grade after college prior to unfortunately being laid off due to financial losses in the school. I also tutored English in college through an Advanced English class I was placed in.
I have a passion and calling for working with children. From the time I was a child, I knew this is what I was meant to do. I believe children are the hope of our country, and that every child is capable of learning and expanding their knowledge. Knowledge is power, and if a child is given the proper encouragement and motivation they can and will succeed. I consider it an amazing privilege to be an educator and make a difference in the lives of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject.
I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style.

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.
My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.

I believe wholeheartedly that all students can be successful in the classroom regardless status or background. Accordingly, I hold my students to high academic standards, and expect great things of them based on their various ability levels. Additionally, I truly believe that education should be a meaningful experience that awakens, in students, a genuine desire to become lifelong learners. It is my personal and professional goal to achieve such lasting affects by facilitating an inclusive student centered learning environment that acknowledges students' personal, cultural, and academic interests.
I am a graduate of the University of California with an unwavering commitment to educating and nurturing the minds of my students. I am currently studying at the University of La Verne to become a Secondary History Teacher. Throughout my academic career I have gained profound insigh ... read more
