Psychology Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Capitola, CA

I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions. I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that the

Over my years of experience providing supplemental instruction to a diverse range of students, I have found that I possess a breadth of knowledge and interpersonal skill-sets that make me an effective teacher. I teach from the understanding that every student has a unique educational experience and that there is no one way to effectively get your point across. Utilizing patience, compassion, as well as a heightened sense of cultural literacy, I am able to help students grasp lessons and objectives that had been previously intangible. I believe that educators hold a great responsibility to their students, and take pride in the accomplishments realized by my students. Throughout the course of my education, I have had the opportunity to work with many great instructors and professors; learning the qualities and characteristics of what comprises an effective teacher. I currently possess two

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i

As a graduate of the University of California, Merced with a BS in Biological Sciences, emphasis track in Microbiology & Immunology, I mastered the knowledge of how the human systems interact amongst each other at a cellular and organs level in addition to the structure of the body’s fighting mechanisms to defend itself against foreign pathogens. I have also gained advanced laboratory experience which built my fundamentals of composing a scientific laboratory report at a professional scientific journal level. Furthermore, my undergrad experience consisted of advanced calculus, physics and statistical courses that challenged my critical thinking abilities. During my last two years, I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Every person is unique and the style of instruction to be given to each student must be adequate to the level the student can sustain. I believe all studen

I enjoy working with students of all ages. I like to get to know the student I am tutoring and what their individual learning style is like. I adapt to how they learn best and go from there. I am patient, and willing to do what it takes to encourage learning and success. I have always been eager to learn and help others learn as well. I especially love the sciences, but have always loved and excelled in school. I have previous tutoring experience, and love when new opportunities arise.

As a voracious reader, I have always been interested in many subjects in the world, above and beyond what I have studied in school. I earned a bachelor's degree in English and a recent master's in international management with a focus on migrant education/bilingual education. I spent years working with faculty on books at the college level, helping them to tailor their work for nonreaders, for visual learners, and students whose interests are far different from their own bookish world. So, for twenty years, I urged faculty to write for students as they are, not as they'd wish them to be. Then, I stepped back into the role of student and experienced the struggle to master a foreign language, and to learn how to write in that language. And I've had 3 1/2 years of direct experience tutoring ESL students to write papers in English, political science, and history. My tutoring/teaching/edit
