Optimistic communicator sharing a love of reading & writing

Communication is key, so I will look for the specific interests that a particular student has and connect with where their strengths reside. From there we can build on these high points and draw them into other areas where their abilities need improvement.
I worked as a tutor while doing respite work for United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County in California. I am proud to say that the young man I worked with the longest is now finishing his BA in justice studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills. I also tutored as a substitute aid for the Ocean View School District in Orange County, California. After earning my BA in journalism from CSUF I have published in a number of print and online media outlets, and I am currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing.

My comments on tutoring Literature : Taught literature for seven years and have a wide base of knowledge in the area.

I believe in creating routines to add structure to the learning environment as most of my students progress better in a very structure classroom. I have been noted in my evaluations as making solid connections with most of my students by taking a personal interest in their academic progress. While I do not believe in extrinsic rewards, I will use them to motivate students when necessary. I am organized and pride myself in being able to stick to the lesson plans I have devised.

More About This Tutor...

An outstanding teacher knows that ‘practice makes perfect’. I drill my students, thus obviating the fact that ‘practice makes perfect’. This rule, however, does not only apply to my classes, it also applies to my instructional techniques. I cut a video for the Student Teacher Monitor at Northern Arizona University that he might demonstrate the animation a teacher needs to be effective. I reviewed the video and found an area that I needed to work on. Thus, review, practice, and repetition will not only aid my students, it also helps me to improve.

A Little Bit About Me...

As part of my lifelong love of learning and teaching, I began tutoring when I was just fourteen years old. While in high school, I usually tutored math (mostly algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and general science. Once I moved to college, I began to work with middle school as well as high school students again in mostly math and science. However, I have a BA in politics and history; therefore I am extremely confident in many liberal arts subjects. I have also earned an MBA which helped to hone my grammatical and communication skills. I am currently an on-call teacher for two local school districts. I teach all levels, all subjects.
I love to teach. I have experience with 5-50 years old and, if pressed, could not name a favorite group. I believe that everyone can learn; some of us just process information in different ways. As a tutor it is my job to discover how a student proc ... read more

I have been in some type of teaching experience for five years. I have interned at two Junior High Schools and one High school. I have also completed my student teaching in English at a Junior High school. I currently tutor a friend’s sister in English and I have worked with students since I was a Sophomore in High School.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.
I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is that of empowerment. I believe everyone is capable of producing great written works and try to guide an individual through exploring their writing style and voice. My method is not to tell a writer how to write an assignment, but to offer guidance and feedback. Ultimately, the writing I tutor is not my own, so I attempt to empower the writer so that he or she becomes a better writer.
I earned my first degree in May 2010; I hold a BS in Applied Psychology and am pursuing an MS in Applied Psychology, which I should earn later this year. As an undergraduate and as an graduate student, I have explored my passion for learning and as a by product honed my writing skills. For three years of my undergraduate career, I worked as a Writing Tutor. I have experience tutoring papers for many subjects, i.e. humanities, biology, aviation, nutrition, and computer science ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From my previous teaching experience gained in college I believe that there is a delicate process, that requires patience and respect in teaching students. I am easy going and understandable and always provide encouragement. I believe in a hands on approach to teaching, which can make learning more fun for the students. My only hope is to make a difference for every student.
My college experience and training has allowed me to get excellent insight into both of my majors. I have learned the language and culture of not only Germany but also ancient cultures. My various challenges along the way pushed me to achieve higher goals and led me to the completion of my two bachelor degrees, BA in German Studies and BA in Classical Civilization. From my anthropology classes I gained my experience in teaching freshmen, juniors and seniors from diverse backgrounds. I firmly believe i can tut ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suite their approach to learning. For example, if that particular child was a more hands on type learner I would make materials or present the lesson in a manner to include something that he or she could manipulate. My goal in education is to provide the best type of learning to match your child's way of learning. I attempt to do the best that I can for any child that I work with. I do believe that all children really want to learn especially in the right circumstances.
When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S de ... read more
