"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself." (Lloyd Alexander, 1924) I like this quote because I believe that every student has the skills to learn any subject through practice and hard work. Every student learns differently and I will help your student reach their full academic potential by catering to their specific learning needs and styles. I will be a support system for your learner to help them with all of their academic needs. Ambition and motivation are two strengths I want my learners to develop and they will accomplish this by actively participating in their own learning. ~Strive for the impossible and be extraordinary.

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching! Learning should be fun and enjoyable for children! Young people learn through different methods; however their rate of progression may vary widely. I believe that children learn best when you provide them with examples that they can easily understand. By using real life examples, children will be able to apply the skills learned in the classroom to future work and leisure activities. My goal is to make a difference, in the life of every student, by providing them with the essential tools to succeed in our modern society.
As a graduate of California State University - Fullerton, I have achieved an extremely high level of success. I have been a freelance writer for over 18 years, with published pieces in business journals and many periodicals. I have published several finding aids for the Arizona Historical Foundation at Arizona State University. Some of these colle ... read more

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

I'm a certified Air Force Instructor with two years of experience as a Unit Training Manager. I have 3 years of experience teaching adults how to build computers and install/configure operating systems and applications.
I find that teaching works best if you tailor the material to your audience - i.e. you don't want to lose them OR bore them. Use what they know as a foundation to build on to teach new concepts. If material is difficult or unfamiliar to your class it's important to be prepared in advance with several approaches to get the material across. Review material periodically to reinforce confidence in the students and always make sure they have a firm grasp on material before moving on.
