Sign Language is one of my top subjects! My mom and my step father are both deaf and my real father was hearing. So growing up I learned sign language along side with learning english. I have almost always interperted for my mother and step father in many situations.

In American Sign Language I was raised learning English along with American Sign Language so I could speak to both of my parents. As my dad is hearing and my mother has been deaf since birth. Once my parents divorced I moved to Texas with my mother and step-dad, who is deaf as well. Being in an all deaf house American Sign Language was my only way of communcation with my parents. I am extremely fluent in Sign Language. I would also interpert for my parents if needed in multiple places and multiple situations. I am not certified but I have been around sign language longer than many interperturs have. As for typing skills, I have always been a proficent and fast typer all throught school. I always finished my keyboarding exercises first and know how to work any Microsoft program, such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I also type without looking at the keyboard. And for the kid tutoring, I w ... read more

Sign Language is one of my top subjects!

I am definitely a believer in full-immersion for the students that i tutor. I also balance that with being completely comprehensive - I want them to understand their teachers, who may or may not be Deaf themselves. My goal is to be a mediator for the students i work with, and make the experience less stressful and more importantly, FUN!

I have numerous experience teaching ASL to many children, young adults and few older adults either paid or volunteered. I also tutored math, english, and science in the past as well.

I enjoyed and watching them pursue their goal as an interpreters! We need many potential interpreters in the deaf community.

I can teach children of all ages. I believe it is easiest to build rapport with the student before teaching them. If there is a good relationship between the student and teacher then it is easier to teach and learn. I use different styles of teaching that address all types of learners. I will incorporate visual aids, music, hand movements and other techniques to enhance the students retention of information. I have patience and like to use positive feedback to motivate my students.
I have tutored high school students at San Gorgonio High School in a variety of subjects for 6 months. In addition, I worked as an independent English tutor in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 6 months. When I was in high school I did two years of tutoring at Franklin Elementary. I'm currently employed at Club Z Tutoring and attend University of Redlands to obtain my teaching credential.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 in the Operant Conditioning model. As a Teacher Assistant, I have the responsibilities of setting goals, creating objectives for weekly sessions, and tracking and recording weekly progress. Such goals include, increasing expressive communication, decreasing specific inappropriate behaviors unique to each child, and improving academic skills such as reading, mathematics, and problem solving.
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 rein ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style begins with getting to know a student and their family. Knowing a student's personality and learning style can give me insight into how to engage them in lessons. I believe in integrating visual, auditory, and tactile lessons into a student’s learning experience in order to ensure that they have a full understanding. I prefer to facilitate (guide) learning so that a student can develop critical thinking skills they can use throughout their education. I believe patience, encouragement, and support are the most important elements for successful teaching and would love to tutor your child.
After years of working with the public, I returned to school to earn a BA in Early Childhood Studies. I chose this area of study with a concentration in special needs due to my love for all children. Upon graduation at CalBaptist University, I was honored to receive the “Outstand ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my years at UC Riverside, I was able to gain considerable experience in the field of mathematics. Many of my classes were math intensive and as an engineer, we were taught to be very precise. While in school, I had a chance to help my fellow classmates prepare for exams. I also had a chance to work at Academic Advantage where I tutored younger kids in English and math. Also, while in High School I tutored math at my old Middle School.
Working with children or fellow classmates is something I enjoy doing. I love it when I am able to help someone advance or catch up in the subjects necessary. I believe everyone has the ability to learn and succeed. My goal is to make sure that when I am done tutoring, you will jump at the opportunity to have me tutor again. I am an easy going tutor and very patience. I believe patience is the key to success and that's what I incorporate wh ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored children and adults in the past. As a high achiever in High School, college and in the corporate world, I was constantly requested by friends and parents to assist in tutoring in various subjects, such as English and speech. As a graduate from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in Speech Communication, I was able to provide high level of assistance in teaching and understanding the material at hand. My own motivation to peruse a Masters in Business Administration at UCLA is also a reason as to why I am requested to tutor others, not only to be an example that a higher education is indeed necessary, but also because my focus is also to educate others to continue an education.
I am a firm believer that everyone is capable of achieving their educational goals as long as the proper resources are provided. I am a dedicated individual that seeks different methods to assist ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a deep passion for teaching others. Knowledge is power. It means a better job, a better understanding of the world we live in and it makes for better relationships. My desire is to empower people to help bring out the best in them. I am patient, understanding, and am able to teach students in a simplified way. Nothing is more rewarding than when my students eyes light up when they grasp deep concepts, especially when it is something they have struggled with for years. That is very rewarding to both student and teacher.
I am proud to say that I was able to graduate "Summa Cum Laude" with a grade point average of 4.0 during my Masters and Doctorate college years and "Magna Cum Laude" during my bachelor year. I have gained a greater understanding of English,along with how to write essays, outlines, and how to do an extensive amount of research. Over the last 20 years ... read more

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.

I taught Earth and Life Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Grammar, Vocabulary, English Composition, British and American Literature, Geography, American and World History, Ethics, Social Studies, Government, Sign Language, and Bible. Studying French from 3rd grade through college back East and having friends who are French here in California has allowed me to remember the basics for the last thirty years.

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.
