I am a credentialed teacher with a Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and an English Learner Authorization. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies. The curriculum was focused on preparing students for entrance into a teaching credential program. I have worked as a substitute teacher in grades kindergarten through sixth and with multiple elementary grade levels teaching English Language Learners, language arts, and math as a Literacy Support Teacher.
I love working with children and seeing them succeed in personal and educational settings. I believe learning should be fun and that students should enjoy it. I work with a student-centered approach with high expectations. Scholars should understand the underlying concepts of the overall material. I make the curriculum relevant. In addition, I support my instruction by instilling three values wit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

The student always comes first in my classroom. Although the curriculum and concepts are important, what is essential is encouraging students to succeed and creating a safe environment conducive to learning. By mutual respect and positive feedback, I am able to create a rapport with my students that allow them to take risks without fear of complete failure. Once students feel secure to take risks, they are able to learn and thrive gaining both confidence and academic skills.
I have a solid foundation in secondary English and collegiate English, Education, and Women's Studies. In addition to ten years teaching experience at both the middle and high school levels, I have developed and taught curriculum for numerous colleges, including University of Detroit Mercy, East Tennessee State University, and Northwest State Community College. With seven years collegiate teaching experien ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a teacher for six years and a physical therapy aide for one, I believe I have very good teaching skills. Not only did I have to teach students music and math, subjects I know students are uncomfortable with, I had to teach and motivate patients to do exercises while they were in pain. I have had many years of experience tutoring and teaching students in Kindergarten through 12th grade computers, math, English and reading. I also have taught these same grades many guitar, percussion and voice lessons. I am classically trained in the voice area and I have a math minor.
I am able to teach children of all ages and also am able to tailor my teaching style to the age I am teaching. Through encouragement and pointing in the correct direction instead of just giving an answer, I believe that the student learns best. Because I know all students learn at in different ways and at diff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always been driven to learn and pursue and education, this led me to completing my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in history from UC- San Diego. I enjoyed tutoring math, science and english while in high school and continued in college. After graduating I volunteered in Chile teaching English which greatly improved my teaching skills and improved my Spanish Language abilities. I currently work as a substitute teacher which allows me to continue to gain teaching experience while I work towards a full credential
I am very patient and outgoing with students, I try to gain a good understanding of where there are at in order to help them understand what is needed and how to achieve their goals. I strive to make a positive impact on my students lives in and out of the classroom.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children and adults. I have been very fortunate to have had educators that cared about my success. I am laid back, compassionate, driven, and passionate about learning. My priority is to see my student succeed. My success is in the student’s academic advancement. My goal is to instill in your student the same drive and fire that was given to me.
As a driven and ambitious graduate, I have enjoyed taking charge of my education. Over the last 8 years, studying various subjects has been amazing. Coming from a background of professionals and excellence, I have spent time researching and studying in several fields. It has been a pleasure tutoring the future of America over the last 10 years. I have tutored students in English, History, Sciences, and Spanish.

More About This Tutor...

Holding a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, I tutored in a math lab during the summer of my college years and later went into the Peace Corps in Zimbabwe to teach math and science to high school level students. I have also worked as a civil engineer and have directly applied my civil engineering degree in designing grading and utility plans for commercial developments. As a female working in a male dominated field I feel strongly about supporting young girls in pursing their dreams just as equally as young boys. I like being a role model to younger generations and hope that some day there is not such an imbalance in certain areas of study such as the math and sciences.
Through my different career experiences I have discovered that my heart is in working with children, and I believe that given the proper environment and support every child is capable of learning and growi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is hands on. I give hints and partial answers in an effort to encourage students to think through problems and attempt to solve them. If necessary, I separate an idea into simpler terms, and help students learn each term before continuing. I give examples which illustrate a point or demonstrate a procedure. At times, my students write short essays, which I critique for sentence structure, word choice, tense matching, and organization. When a student is reading aloud, I follow along, interjecting if necessary with the correct pronunciation or the proper syllable emphasis.
In college, I was taught to organize topics in Math, Science and English, using outlines. This ensured that I studied all of the material presented in class. During my career, I use the same method to grasp difficult concepts. As a technical advisor, I shared my knowledge with clients, answering ... read more

My teaching style involves three major components, namely patience, preparation, and presentation. By being patient with students one can provide them with the opportunity to learn at their pace and to explore the areas which are of importance to them. By preparing for teaching sessions and having profound knowledge of the subject one can be ready to answer questions and explain the subject. By presenting the information in a clear and organized fashion, one can dispel mysteries and offer pathways to understanding.
During my career in the pharmaceutical industry, I conducted several training classes and often prepared all of the training materials and class content. Beginning in 1998, I was hired by Cuesta College of San Luis Obispo as a part time instructor. In that capacity, I have taught a variety of subjects including Accounting, English as a second language, Spanish, Ital ... read more

Since finishing my degree and teaching credential progam I have been teaching full time for the last 12 years. I was a tenured teacher in Atascadero teaching all subjects 3-8 from 1998-2001. I am currently teaching in Paso Robles and have been since 2001. I have taught at Flamson Middle School and now teach at Liberty Continuation High School. I primarily teach English and computers but have a Multiple Subject Credential and can easily teach Prealgebra.
I love what I do for a living. I love teaching and coaching and have always wanted to be a teacher. I believe all childeren can learn given the opportunity. I believe students have their own unique intelligences and learning styles. My role as a teacher/ coach is to identify those intelligences and styles and deliver subject's content using strategies that support those intellegeneces and styles. I also believe in helping s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a creative, patient teacher. I know that everyone learns differently, so I try to come up with many different ways to explain a concept. I love to see the sudden understanding in a student's eyes when they finally understand a difficult concept. This is what makes teaching an addictive and highly fulfilling activity for me.
During my undergraduate years, I often found myself tutoring fellow students. Eventually I got a job working for the math and science tutoring center on campus. I tutored students in my own classes and others, and I also helped teach a vertebrate anatomy lab. I am currently a Master's student in biology, and while biology is my field, I am also an accomplished writer. I feel comfortable helping students in a variety of fields, especially basic mathematics, science, and writing.

Teaching is a reciprocal experience for the mentor and the mentee. I believe in fostering a learning environment for my students that is both participatory and relevant to a their individual learning style and interests. Working one-on-one with a child, adult, or in a small group is a privilege and affords the opportunity to do more than just teach; it is an important opportunity to help to empower someone to "learn how to learn." In my teaching, I believe that developing confidence, self-discipline, and appropriate learning tools is just as important as mastery of any particular subject. In any interaction with a student, I understand and value my role as a tutor, and I aim to inspire and to set a positive example.

I believe that when students develop a certain level of self confidence, learning comes easier. I place great importance on a student's learning style. While at the California Science Center, where I worked as a science exhibit developer for six years, I learned the value of a constructivist approach to learning. I am not fixed on one approach to tutoring; I determine how a child learns and try to present the material in a variety of ways until the child "gets it."
For the past five years I have been a substitute teacher for the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. I worked in science classrooms for Grades 6 through 8 at three intermediate schools, as well as for two high schools. In addition, I worked in 2nd through 5th Grade classrooms teaching multiple subjects. I hold a 30 Day Credential as a substitute. I earned my BS degree in Ecology & Systematic Biology at Cal Po ... read more

First of all, my teaching style revolves around patience and understanding, I believe that if anyone truly focuses and tries they can learn the material with a little guidance. My goal is to help students conquer their problems in the classroom and in their homework. I also believe in constructive criticism and working with a students strong points to help them work on their weak points.
As a Cuesta College student focusing in English, I tutored students for 2 semesters during my educational path. I not only had the passion for helping students who had problems in English, but it was really good experience in my major. For 2 semesters after I tutored students I went on to grading for 4 different professors which gave me even more experience in how college professors look at their papers and grade. I have great patience and understanding for any student who has problems in Engl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy what I do. I love seeing students achieve their goals. The first thing I have always told my students was that there isn't anything you can't do if you want it bad enough. I went back to school at the age of 41 to get my degree. My goal is to provide the student with the best possible education, tempered with understanding and compassion. All children can learn and are capable, if given an opportunity and support. I have always tried very hard to make a difference in my students lives.
I have taught K through 12 grades. I have a Bachelors Degree, Multisubject Clear Dredential, a Spanish Authorization and a CLAD endorsement. I have 39 credits above my Bachelors. In the last 19 years I taught ESL to Algebra and just about any other subject. I did a two week K-8 National Education Science Workshop with NASA in 2001. In college I tutored Cultural Geography and while living in W ... read more
