My teaching style is aimed at making the child feel good and happy with learning. Often children need tutoring in subjects that frustrate them, they miss one aspect and while they're spending time on that in class the teacher blazes past them adding more confusion. I take it upon myself to back track to the initial place where the confusion stemmed from and spend the time working through these rough patches. I gear everything as a game or story to create excitement in a subject that would normally earn groans. I want your child to feel proud of what they do know already, and use that happiness to fuel further learning.
I have always had an interest in tutoring, starting in Elementary school where I would leave during recess in the fourth and fifth grade to spend time in my past Kindergarten teacher's classroom. There I would read to students, reinforce the teachings lead by th ... read more

I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

More About This Tutor...

Although I have worked mostly in Film and Television since graduating from University, I returned to the University of LaVerne in Athens, Greece in 2004 to tutor foreign students in essay writing and to help hem with their entrance exams. I worked there part-time (3 days a week) for 2 years. I continued tutoring 2 students privately for another year. In 2009 I tutored after-school English at DeAnza Middle School in Ventura for approximately 6 months.
I am a very caring teacher. I love to use humor and encouragement in the hopes that the students will feel inspired to continue and flourish in their writing, even after our time together is over. I believe in children and their ability to acheive anything, and try to relay that message to them in a fun and patient way. I love to see the spark ignite in the eyes of someone who has achieved something they didn't know they could.

A Little Bit About Me...

My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person!
Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience.

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. I have participated in a 4 unit class where i taught Spanish to 8-11 year old children and it consisted of developing a plan that included songs and dancing to learn Spanish in a fun and animated way. I have done research on homelessness, and had an internship with a non profit that provides social services for those in need. Working closely with this organization has helped me assess peoples needs and use problem solving skills to help individuals in a variety of situations.

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method.
As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis.

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my belief that language proficiency stems from extensive practice. Although I see my Japanese language skills as a useful tool in helping other Japanese speakers learn English, I feel that conversing in English and explaining concepts in English as much as possible leads to greater language advancement. Most Japanese adults already studied English in junior high and high school, so it is necessary to access their prior knowledge. As Japan is a somewhat reserved culture, it is necessary to provide a comfortable, relaxing environment to help students not feel self-conscience when trying to converse in English. Creating a safe learning environment is my foremost objective when tutoring.
As a second language learner, I am keenly aware of the challenges in learning a new language. I am a native Japanese speaker, although I have attended a language school in Australia, and com ... read more
