Balance is the Key to Life

My teaching 'style' is a bit unique, in my opinion. By that, I mean that every child/student 'learns' differently, so I must 'adapt' my style 'on the fly' after determining what is the most effective approach/style/method for that individual student. In addition, the subject that I am teaching also affects my style and some 'tools' that I learned as a youngster and a teacher are also implemented frequently.
I was trained to be a teacher at CSU-Fresno, where I graduated in May, 1999. I substituted for 3 consecutive years in Fresno, Clovis, and Madera Unified School districts at grade levels 3-12. I received my Master's Degree in Sports Administration from the American Public University system in May, 2011, and graduated with Honors and a 4.0 GPA. I am currently trying to obtain my credential and hope to be an Athletic Director one day.

I am kind of new to teaching. I have taught my little brother everything he knows, and I've been told I have a really good way of teaching. Younger students catch on very quickly to what it is I am teaching. If they don't catch on quick, then no problem. I'm very patient and never give up until a student understands the concept. I am very easy to get along with, so the student will have no problems with me. Altogether I am a very patient smart person eager to help new students learn; and if you want to have fun while learning, then I am the perfect tutor for you.

A Little Bit About Me...

I graduated with a degree in English while devoting time teaching kids and even adults martial arts. Also, I have tutored many of my younger cousins during their elementary school years and currently middle school as well. I have published two poetry books and am planning on writing a third book. I have a tremendous amount of love and passion for reaching out to others. I believe we will always be students, after all, we continue to learn each day. I grew up building computers, designing web pages, capable of typing over 100 words a minute, repairing computers and so forth. I don't have any certifications or awards with computers, however, i have excellent knowledge with them inside and out.
When I teach I also learn from my students. I am open to ideas and creativity. I am patient and I believe a child should never be forced to learn. Learning should be exciting and it is the righ ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my undergraduate schooling I taught one unit Freshman Writing Workshops at CSUMB. I also tutored extensively in English and composition. I have a minor in journalism and extensive writing experience. Professionally, I was an airline pilot for eight years. As a captain I worked in confined spaces for long periods mentoring junior pilots. I am well trained in fostering a positive learning environment. Currently I am preparing for grad school and a teaching career.
The most effective teaching style is to encourage self-directed learning. However, writing is a skill that requires patience and the proper tools. I believe in being present in the moment to give my students the focus they deserve. Also, I am warm natured and offer guidance and encouragement. Learning needs to be fun and rewarding with confidence in the mentor. I put my best effort into seeing this happen ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is based on thorough communication and a relaxed and nurturing environment. I know from my own experience the vulnerability one can feel as a student in need of assistance. By removing apprehension and self-doubt with effective communication, improvement and growth will result. For me, the ultimate reward is helping a student to overcome personal obstacles, and eliminate areas of former weakness.
My experience as a teacher combined with my degree in Journalism provide me with an expertise in writing. I have excelled in my work with students both in the classroom and as a private tutor. I have extensive experience in working with students of all ages and backgrounds, including as an English/Writing teacher overseas, where I designed and conducted classes for non-English speaking professionals;local teachers, doctors and civil engineers. I received top reviews ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been working with students since I was in Middle School myself. I went to college to become a special education teacher and am currently working as a resource specialist. I work with students who have learning disabilities, are at risk, have emotional disturbances, autism, or just need a helping hand. I have also taught in general education classrooms.
I believe every child is capable of matching and exceeding our highest expectations. Every child learns differently and that is my approach. I don't believe in cookie cutter education. I design programs around students interests, needs, and abilities. I believe that positive feedback and reinforcement get better results than negativity, and it is my job to help your child be successful. It is my job to help your child buy into their own education and realize how great it is to be a lifelong learner.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator, I've been able to provide evidenced based instruction to students who need extra help in challenging subjects. I have over 10 years of experience working with children from ages 3 and up. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs and have worked with children with autism for 7 years using evidenced based methods such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies.
Direct instruction is a proven and effective way of teaching students to learn. Cognitive coaching is also a method to enhance a student's learning and teaching them various ways to apply their cognitive abilities to better strengthen their study habits and skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very down to earth person especially when it comes to kids. I always try to lighten up the mood and make learning things interesting and fun. I don't like to dismiss when I see a child having trouble in something. Every person has a different way of learning, I try to cater to each of their needs.
I have tutored children in reading last summer. It was one of the most gratifying things I have done. I worked with English as second language children ranging from ages 5 to 13. We used a lesson plan and several activities to help children in achieving their reading level goals. Also, in my undergrad experience, I excelled in writing and was very good with meeting deadlines.

My experience with teaching began in 2004 as a volunteer for William Saroyan Elementary School in Fresno, CA. I went on to graduate from CSUFresno with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology; Science is my passion and I believe our young students are in dire need of mentors who are dedicated to show them the world. As an Undergraduate, I volunteered as a librarian, and tutor. In 2009, I was employed by Americorps and was required to teach Science, Math, and English to 4th- 6th graders for eight weeks. In early 2010, I decided to further my career goal by pursuing a Master's in Education, for which I will begin my first class session in the summer 0f 2011.
For me, relating to children is effortless; I am quite apt to quickly gaining their attention as well as their confidence. Sadly, many students face the challenge of losing focus; as a teacher, I hope to be able to instill unwavering mot ... read more

Education and helping others get the most out of their scholastic experience has always been very important to me. My tutoring background began at Merced Community College, where I taught college students in English, Spanish, business law, mathematics, and chemistry. Reviewing essays and helping others improve their writing skills is a passion of mine. I continued my education at Fresno State University and there taught Spanish and mathematics while earning my undergraduate degree in accounting. I also instructed a lab class on Internet web site design and development. I've been in the finance industry for over 11 years as an accountant, so I can help with most business-related subjects, too.
