Classified Teacher's Aide

I try to provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere by getting to know each student as much as possible. I often find students need to be able to incorporate personal likes and interests into learning.
I am not a certified teacher but I have worked as a Special Education Classroom Aide in various schools throughout the Cajon Valley Union School District for the past six years. I enjoy young people and helping them on their road to success. I have worked with all levels of special needs students and look forward to assisting in their learning experience.

My passion is helping people overcome obstacles in their lives. For this reason I attained a B.S. in Psychology and a M.S. in Clinical Social Work.

I have many years of experience instructing and educating people of all ages in various subjects. In addition, I have experience working in special education settings for teens. Currently, due to a work-related injury, I am taking a break from full-time work. Instead, I am an independent contractor for tutoring services and love working with adults, teens and kids.

My 5 years as a United States Marine established important core values such as tact, integrity, discipline, and commitment. I bring these values with me into the classroom. I believe that the success of a student depends more on their level of commitment than on inherent talent. However, learning must be an enjoyable experience in order for a strong commitment to be made. I am passionate about mathematics and the sciences, and this passion shows in my teaching style. Students recognize this passion, and it makes the learning experience fun. I am patient, open-minded, and innovative; so if a student is struggling with a particular topic, I find an alternative teaching approach which better suits their learning style. The success of my students is gratifying, to both student and teacher alike.
I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the Universit ... read more

I strongly believe that every individual has a different way of learning and understanding certain material. My goal as an instructor is to tap into what works for that person. I will pose questions and approaches to learning until I find the right method for your student. I love seeing the light bulb go off in a child's head when the material finally clicks and I strive for that moment in all my students. I am patient and have a way with words, illustrations, graphs, and analogies to make learning fun. I have had some spectacular teachers and through their inspiration I can help make your child's educational experience more enjoyable.

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of ... read more

Most of my experience working with students comes from being a teacher. After receiving my degree in Psychology, I joined Teach for America and spent my summer designing and executing lesson plans for a Chemistry class. The following school year, I taught high school Biology in Memphis City Schools. I continued to attend training sessions and workshops throughout the year to develop methods to improve my teaching. I also spent many hours after school and on weekends working with my students to help them learn the material. By the end of the school year, 94% of my students passed their end of course exam and 59% received advanced scores.
I believe there is nothing more satisfying than watching students succeed. As a teacher, I strive to make that happen for every student. I love working with children and teens, especially when I can make the experience of learning enjoyable and grat ... read more
