A Little Bit About Me...

In order to to be a successful teacher and to help others to succeed, a dedicated and disciplined teacher will gain the TRUST of his/her students by first LISTENING, always being willing to help, never standing in judgement or criticize, especially in front of others, and giving the students respect/credit to be able to learn! Also, each person learns in a different way/speed, some fast, others slower...all of the above is my teaching style, and to have the PATIENCE to individually help EVERYONE, no matter how fast/slow! ALWAYS BELIEVE in your students...they will BELIEVE in YOU!
My teaching experience includes private/public/correctional schools (Florida Dept. of Corrections-State certified teacher,drug/alcohol counselor 1983-2000)...private tutoring (Reading,Writing,Math) with many happy,successful students of all ages/backgrounds (1965-present).

I enjoy reviewing an assignment, lesson, chapter, or other student material, and determining what is needed from the student. I also believe in making learning as fun and interesting as possible, and in helping students set their own goals for a lesson or for a subject.
I worked in educational assessment for eight years, developing custom tests (in the reading/language arts and social studies content areas) for state departments of education. My focus was on creating tests (multiple-choice and essay-based) in alignment with state standards. In light of my extensive assessment experience, I understand how tests are written and organized, and I understand how to help students prepare for tests, as well as how to complete other assignments. Earlier, I worked as a substitute teacher at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels, and also taught Algebra I for three summers ... read more

As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To obtain these honors, I completed a rigorous curriculum including courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and French. In the last ten years, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college-aged students.
I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are ... read more

I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions.
I have taught and tutored hundreds of children while substitute teaching. I have found that my style is one which tries to involve the student in the learning process as much as possible. I love using volunteers to read aloud and participate in the learning process. I feel that treating each child with respect and as individuals increases their own abilities and improves their self-confidence as ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.
As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style targets the needs of the particular students I am working with. If my students are visual learners, than my job is to make sure I am providing them with the visuals and demonstrations that are helping them be successful. I believe and know that children have various learning modalities and as an educator I make it my job to accommodate those various academic and sometimes social needs. I never lower my expectations for any students, I only change the direction of my teaching in order to best suit their needs. My goal is to help students succeed, not only in terms of academics, but also socially and professionally. There is definitely a strong correlation between health and academics and if a child is feels healthy mentally, physically and emotionally, than they are likely to be successful.
My experience in the field of education began with my volunteer work during ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of UC San Diego earning a BS in Structural Engineering. I have a strong grasp of the math and science fields, and how concepts from each discipline overlap and interconnect. In addition to my own academic pursuits I have tutored and worked in the classroom environment with students ranging from grades 1-6.
I am a firm believer that each and every student has equal ability to succeed in their academic pursuits. It is up to the teacher to provide the tools and environment that enables the student to flourish. Not only does a good teacher educate the child, but they also motivate the student to further pursue academic achievements. I believe in giving students the tools needed to solve current and future problems, not just a quick solution.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency to help with academic success. This means a certain time, environment, etc. in which they study or learn. Understanding refers to the fact that not all children study or learn the same so this is pertinent in order to learn and accomodate each child you help. Consideration is being open to different situations and learning blocks each child may have; be considerate to each child's needs. Connection refers to the fact that children and their parents must be able to trust you and know that you will help their children to the best of your ability and unleash their true potential. Positive acknowledgement refers to the postive "praise" or reinforcement of achievements. This drives children to want to do better and instills self-confidence and ... read more

As a teacher, I try to empower my students to take responsibility for their actions and for their learning results. I try to lead them and to show them how and where to find the answers, but feel they learn best when they take the final step in the learning process and discover the answers with my guidance. The results are that they acquire not only knowledge, but the ability to process information and to solve problems. I am trained in teaching individuals with differences in learning styles, as well as in teaching English learners. I speak fluent French, am proficient in Spanish and Italian, and am passionate about French/France and English literature. I share this passion with my students.
I have experience teaching French and English at the high school level at a private/Catholic high school in Ventura County. I have held this full-time teaching position for 2 years. ... read more
