Computer Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Daggett, CA

I enjoy the challenge of teaching and coaching. Finding a level of communication, exploring the deficiency and then applying practical examples to improve the internal understanding of the concepts is my approach to one on one tutoring. My diverse educational and professional background has enabled me to be able to apply very practical applications to seemingly comlex mathmatical learning steps. As a manager/owner of several small businesses over my career, I have had to help develop employees into more productive workers by helping them with basic educational tools and life skills. My journalism experience, coupled with a strong business acumen and a Certified Financial Planner designation affords me a vast tool kit from which relate to my students.

The foundation of my philosophical approach to teaching is that every student can learn. With that theory in mind, practice in the field of teaching has also shown me that actual acquisition of knowledge is a direct function of teacher effectiveness, student motivation, and student support. My style of teaching can best be described as student-centered. Every student learns differently. It is the teacher's responsibility to: 1. Adapt curriculum and lesson planning to the individual needs of all students; 2. Use student assessment as a guide to assessing teacher effectiveness; and 3. Evaluate teaching methods to find ways to re-teach the content. I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, TESOL Certificate, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, Elementary Education. I have taught elementary, university composition, and working adult students. I have also participated i

I love to teach with all my heart. I enjoy teaching children, teenagers, and adults and having the feeling that they were able to learn something new. Plato once stated, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.” If children start out with a solid education, it sets them on a course for success. I believe that all students have the potential to become great, with a little help from the people around them. I am patient and nurturing and I hope that i will become a good role model for my students, drawing out the potential they naturally have inside of themselves. I attended private school throughout high school, and benefitted from a smaller group environment and a more focused academic career. When entering college, I enjoyed all areas of academics, especially English and Psychology and have always had a high motivation for success. I have e

I became a Teacher as a second career after working in the field of psychology/counseling. Because of my background, I decided to become cridentialed in Special Education. I have taught RSP English and basic math for 7 years. I enjoy breaking the concepts of reading and writing down to the easiest basic steps. I am trained in teaching elementry reading skills, as well as teaching students how to understand and use text books. I can assist students in basic grammar concepts as well as teach essay writing and MLA format research papers. Kids need to feel comfortable and safe with the person who is working with them in order to relax and just try. I start where the student is and help move forward form there. I will repeat, show, explain in different ways, and validate the student's progress as many times as it takes. I can recognize the teaching moments, and I identify the missin

I love to watch children learn and ask questions to become more knowledgeable of the world they live in and discover what interests they might have for the future. I believe that if a child needs additional help in learning the resources should be available to them so that they will not fall behind in their class. As a graduate of the University of LaVerne I understand the need for further education to advance in my career. I have good grammar, writing, and reading skills and I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and other Windows based programs.

I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery. I am NCLB certified and focused on the defined national & state standards of each subject.

I am a California State University, Los Angeles graduate, holding a BA in English, with a specific focus on clasroom teaching. Throughout high school and college, I was driven to assist my peers, using my knowledge to ensure that they understood the subject matter and would succeed in any academic endeavors. As a nanny, I have several years experience teaching small children to read. I am also well versed in theatre arts, dance, and world history. I believe that an open dialogue is a teacher's most needed resource. Any child needs to feel as though he or she can express concerns or apprehensions without the fear of feeling embarrassed or stupid. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Teaching should, of course, relay necessary information, but it should also foster a student's drive to succeed, as well as the knowledge that any goal can be reached through perse

I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Children will meet and often surpass any goal that is given to them if you show that you believe in them. I use a hands-on approach, as much as possible, with a problem-solving emphasis. I firmly believe that a child remembers things more if he is able to work it out for himself. As a result, I take more of a mentoring position the older the child is. It was in this way that my daughter received both an AA and an AS degree the night she received her high school diploma. I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995. First, I substituted and then taught part-time, two to four subjects a year: Advanced Math and Drama, 5 years; Biology, 1 year; and Advanced Drama, 3 years.

My greatest achievement is to have been inducted into "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" for four years by former junior high school students. Students in the top 15% of their high school graduating class are allowed the priviledge of nominating one teacher who has made the greatest difference in their lives. To be remembered as this person is the greatest of all honors. This illustrates my passion for teaching our youth. I have 22 years experience teaching grades 4-12. I have taught all subjects as part of regular education, special education, English Language Learners, Gifted and Talented, At-Risk, and Retention programs. I am dedicated to bringing out the best in our youth so that they may enjoy successful and happy lives. I am dedicated to instilling knowledge and providing the means, or tools, to acquire knowledge.

Everyone can learn; and everyone deserves the opportunity to learn whatever he or she needs to successfully achieve his or her highest personal, social, and educational goals. Every learner is unique and deserves learning situations tailored to activate and engage their unique background and learning style. In addition, everyone has an innate desire to learn and the goal of education is to engage this desire for learning in ways that are personally relevant to each individual learner. When students are expected to learn and engaged with their innate desire to learn through differentiated instruction that meets their individual learning style, they will live up to the expectations presented to them. I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I

Over the past 15 years I have had variety of different teaching experiences. I taught literature as a TA at UC Santa Barbara while studying for my Masters. I have tutored K-12 students in both Math and English. While studying for my undergraduate I assited in running a homeless shelter where I taught many of the children reading, writing, and math. I have a passion for teaching and am a mother myself and understand the true value of educating our youth. It truly depends on the student and the subject. I try to adapt my teaching style to what the student needs. If one approach is not working, then we can work together to find an approach that does. I believe that it is important for the student to be able to relate to the teacher and it is the teachers job to create that connection.

I believe that all children can learn if they are motivated to do so. Therefore, I believe that the best way to teach a child is to do it in a way that will allow them to take the initiative in their own learning. I want the children to enjoy learning through discovery of the material in their own unique way (not how I want them to learn). I firmly believe in Howard Gardner's theories of multiple intelligences which states that everybody has their own way of learning whether it's visual, auditory, kinesthetic etc... I currently have a BA in Liberal Studies (Education) from Cal-State Northridge. During my years at this university, I took classes to work in the elementary school setting and as a result, have observed and participated in various elementary school settings from Kindergarten through the 5th grade.
