I have earned a bachelors degree in Psychology, passed the CBEST, and have about four years of work experience as a tutor. I tutored students, ranging from grades K-12, in various subjects, but mainly in Mathematics and Language Arts/Reading. Also, in a previous position, I managed after-school tutoring programs for both elementary and junior high schools at the school site, in-home, and public location/library. Education is extremely important to me. As an educator, I think it is important to not only share one's knowledge, but to be able to adapt one's teaching style for each student. Through my experience, I know it is important to have patience and be open-minded with my students. I enjoy tutoring and being a positive role model to all my students.

As a graduate of University of Irvine, I have learned to achieve knowledge through research and inquiry. Researching was a major part of my degree alongside to writing and analyzing. This helps me teach the students to effectively gather their information on the area of their study. Moreover, I have tutored chemistry for two semesters in Irvine through Education Outreach Program. During my credentials, I interned at two prestigious elementary schools. I learned to manage a classroom by myself and plan for different subjects such as math, language arts, social study, science and art. I have tutored in Arabic as it being my native language. Growing up as a student I noticed that most of the teachers in the classroom pay attention to only a fraction of students. This bothered me. One of the main reasons why I decided to become a teacher is to give each student the attention he or she needs

I have always enjoyed teaching others especially when it came to math. I naturally and enthusiastically interact with people. I believe all people can understand math. I have found that most need someone next to them encouraging them along and helping them to break down each method or problem into smaller, more manageable "bites." At first it seems like a foreign language to them, but I love translating math for them helping to build their confidence in understanding it for themselves. I enjoy celebrating with them when they get the correct answer. I thrive off of seeing students grow, discover, and learn. That is the very reason why I became a teacher. My first two years of college I was a math major. I took classes through Calculus III until I decided to pursue my dance minor as a major. Math and dance have always been my two greatest interests. Math has always been my strong

Learning to teach at age sixteen taught allowed me to develop my teaching style into a mature and planned method. I have taught dance classes, summer camps, and tutoring sessions. The diversity of the teaching subjects gave me insight into how students learn various material and how, for an individual group or student, a teaching style must be molded. I am an astute tutor who listens to the needs of her students and can be both patient and encouraging, varying my style in response to the needs of those I am with. Paying such close attention to my students responses I have guided many students on the path to success through the means they deemed for me to work for them. Pursuing a competitive major at a prestigious research institution required dedication, responsibility and excellence. These developed attributes lead me to graduate with a BS with honors and distinction in the major

Through out my undergraduate career I have held various teaching positions. However the most challenging and rewarding was being a teachers assistant for a college level molecular biology course where I was responsible for holding sections and office hours. I also volunteered last summer as a science teacher in Nairobi, Kenya where I taught grades K-12. During my first two years of college I worked Sep-June as a teacher’s assistant at Pala Rancho Preschool where I was responsible for planning lessons and conducting individual tutoring sessions. In the summers I coached swimming and taught lessons for ages 2-15. I believe it takes more than a single individual to make a difference in the lives of a class of students. Therefore, I have learned the value of being a team player and the importance of communicating with colleagues, parents, and administrators so that I will be able to provi

While substitute teaching for Palm Springs Unified School District, I was able to travel to different schools and grade-levels and observe the different ways children learn. Here, I helped students with reading, writing, and presentations. As I pursued my Bachelors degree in Journalism I obtained the ability to use two different writing styles, Associated Press (AP) and Chicago Manual. With this knowledge I am able to write clear and concise, use proper grammar, syntax, abbreviation, and punctuation. Of course, I love children. I love fostering a wilting education and making it bloom. There are many different teaching styles that are needed for different children. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate. Every child should be given a chance to learn to the best of their ability. Since I am a visual learner, I believe children are able to learn better when a subject matter is in fr

I love being able to see those who are around me succeed, and I have a true passion for tutoring and helping others. I am energetic and caring, and I love working with others, to ensure that the upcoming generation has a brighter future. I believe that there is not just one way to teach a student a subject because everyone is different, and we all learn differently. I do believe, however, that every student should have an equal opportunity to follow their dreams, whatever they may be, and if teaching at a slower pace or trying different teaching methods is the key, then I will do whatever I need to, in order for them to become very successful. I am currently tutoring the children who attend the same church that I attend, and I have been doing this for two years, since January of 2007. I am also a director for a children's choir, and I teach voice. I am a dancer, actor, and artist in many

My goal as a teacher is to ensure that my students hone in on their individual skills and talents. In doing this, I create an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning. This is done through proper assessment and by challenging students at different levels with supplemental assignments and texts. Likewise, I typically design my classroom so that anyone walking into my room would have an enjoyable learning experience simply by viewing the walls. Sometimes, I have been called unconventional, but I think that within a changing society, it is very important to be able to teach "outside the box." As I graduated number seven in my class, I was always a go-getter and an overachiever, especially within my field of study. Over the past 15 years, I have managed to earn a BA in Speech, an MA in Communications and over 10 years collective teaching experience at the high school, undergraduate, an
