More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is based on building an empowering relationship between teacher and student. The aim in my teaching is to make the student into an out-going self-learner and to teach the student positive ways of challenging himself. If I were to label myself, I would call myself a patient, understanding teacher. I look for tools and ways to reach my student, often employing numerous aids for a single subject. With the right combination of creativity and patience, I believe I may create a lesson plan suitable to not only teach the student, but inspire the student to take an active role in the learning process.

After graduate school in the summer of 2003, I taught art at the Pathfinder Ranch in Idyllwild, CA for ten hours a day for three months with a very limited budget. From 2003-2004, I taught on-line students and acted as an academic enrollment counselor for high school students and their parents at Laurel Springs School, a home school in Ojai, CA. In 2005, I lectured and taught a yearlong AP Art History at Thacher, a well known, highly respected boarding school in Ojai, CA. Finally in 2006 I was an AmeriCorps Literacy tutor working with students at Canalino School in Carpinteria, CA, run through the Santa Barbara County Education Office.
I have the ability to “adjust quickly to change” and love to multi-task. From living in Mexico D.F. at the age of sixteen, attending graduate school in London and now living in Hawaii, I have gained experience in multi-cultural environments and thriv ... read more

My passion for the outdoors informs my teaching style. I think that experience and discovery are the best ways to learn and try to give learning experiences that foster wonder and curiosity. Education needs to be engaging for learning to happen. It is best when lessons are augmented with games, skits, presentations, art or field trips. Information needs to be presented to students in ways they can absorb it, and I work patiently and enthusiastically with many different types of learners. I love learning, and I want to inspire you to a lifetime of learning.
I am an enthusiastic teacher with a diverse background who loves teaching and learning. I’m ready to help you excel at your studies, especially in the sciences, English, or math. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College. Whitman strives to give students a broad-based education with a strong foundation in oral and writt ... read more

During my Master's program at UCLA, I was exposed to different ways of teaching and believe that students learn in a variety of ways. I am open to trying different approaches and methods with students in order to utilize the most effective means of ensuring that students are learning and retaining new information. I prefer to establish a positive rapport with my students and to create an environment in which they are comfortable and willing to take risks and make mistakes during the learning process. I have always felt that a good teacher can be crucial to students' success both inside the classroom and in the outside community as well.
I recently graduated with my Master's degree in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley, and earned my first graduate degree in 1997 at the University of California at Los Angeles in Education. I taught 2nd grade in a biling ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My college experience was unique to the learning community. Instead of theorizing and contemplating what lives the subjects we studied were living, we lived amongst those most only read about. In addition to traditional bouts of homework and exams I lived in the homes and attended their schools. The philosophy, language and religions they lived became our texts. During which I spent an extended amount of time learning about Japanese culture, their language and their traditions. In Japan I was able to pick up a majority of their spoken and written language, which inevitably assisted me in completing an unprecedented study of the Chinese in Japan. The multiple discipline study allows me to share those subjects with my students.
My strategy to learning unknown subjects is very close to the same way children learn to walk, by immersion. Everything we learned as children was assimilat ... read more

My philosophy is that each student should be presented with the best opportunities for learning. I believe that each child is a unique individual with specific needs and learning styles such as visual, audio, kinetic or through reading and writing. I am known for "thinking outside the box" and draw upon any and all resources that might help a child learn better. I am patient, encouraging, and use methods that empower a child in the learning environment.
I have worked with children since 1991. My concentration during my undergraduate studies was neuroendocrinology. However, after attaining my B.A. in Psychology, I loved working with children so much that I decided to work in the mental health field, serving children and adolescents. During the last 3 years, I have been tutoring students in grades K-5 in language arts and math. For the last year and a half, I have tutored students wh ... read more

After a childhood filled with the joys of reading I graduated from college with a BA in English. While I have continued to enjoy reading and writing, my interest turned to biology, specifically aquaculture where my area of expertise is shrimp breeding and farming. Through my work in shrimp culture I have traveled to Vietnam, Indonesia and India to teach shrimp and algae rearing to technicians in hatcheries.Now, while occasionally traveling as a consultant to shrimp hatcheries, I have returned to school to study substance abuse counseling. Currently I am doing an internship at a treatment center. I have very strong skills in reading and writing but also have hands-on experience in the field of biology.
My experience of teaching is not in schools but I have trained many people in the art of rearing shrimp. I am very patient and encourage questions of any kind. I believe that a studen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with kids. I believe that the kids are our future and if we adults don't help them grow up to be leaders and make better choices in their lives we will not have any sense of direction.
I have earned two bachelor degrees which has given me the chance to motivate other youths and kids to seek the world and don't let it end with High school. There is more to life. Granting that Education is the key to success and without education there will be no sense of direction.
