Writing Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Desert Center, CA

The world would be a boring place if all of its people were the same. I believe each individual is socially, academically, emotionally, cognitively, and creatively developed differently from others. Some children perform better in social relationships than at written language and this is where people like me come handy to improve and help develop some of these academic domains. I believe people learn through direct experience and that an educator should focus on an individual’s needs, so a constructivist approach is my teaching style. I am patient, a good listener, who embraces diversity and is attentive. Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like myself. Hav

My teaching style is geared towards the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student and their ability to absorb and learn new information in the specific format optimized for learning.

I do not like to teach out of textbooks. I use them primarily as resources. I prefer to create a lesson or activity that plays to the strengths of the individual child/student and challenges them on their particular level. I have found interactive lessons are very effective for all age ranges. I spent 2 years tutoring Math for the students in my Mothers classroom afterschool (4th grade). I spent one year in college working with special needs students from the local elementary school, which included writing lesson plans and executing activities in group form. I taught one year of 7th grade Health and Physical Education. I tutored all the students at the end of the year to help them achieve passing scores on End Of Grade testing.

My vision and goal in working in education is to help students who are struggling and in need of help. These students can so often be overlooked or dismissed as failures, but I believe that all students have the capability to reach their goals. I strive to create a relationship with the student in which the tutoring creates an environment conducive to a common goal that we can share that will guide us to improving the student's life. Educating students and helping them succeed has been a passion of mine for ten years now, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations. I began tutoring in high school as a volunteer with the California Scholarship Federation, and I continued through college and beyond with various companies in California. I have tutored and taught elementary, junior high, and high school students Enlish and Math. I completed high school by getting a four on the Calcul

As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology.

I taught a self-contained sixth grade class and taught library skills to high school students in addition to running the circulation department of the library. I have also been a substitute teacher and classroom aid. Raising three children gave me the opportunity to assist with homework and school projects and instill my love of reading and learning in my own childres as well as their friends. I am a big believer in using a positive approach to learning. Every student should be encouraged to ask questions. Life is a learning process that never stops. Those that have an education should share their knowledge so the student and the instructor are able to grow together with the ultimate goal being a love of learning.

I am a firm believer that every child can learn by incorporating the "Multiple Intelligence" method in instructing and assessing a student's progress. I have always loved teaching and working with children. I treat each child the way I would want my own two children to be treated, with kindness and respect. I am very firm, but have been told that I am also fair, and nurturing. I expect that each child should work to his or her utmost potential and I always hold children accountable for their schoolwork. Watching their learning and personal growth not to mention their confidence and self esteem grow gives me great satisfaction and what makes teaching such a wonderful and fulfilling job. As a 30 year retired elementary teacher, I am fully certified under the "No Child Left Behind" national standards and very experienced in preparing students for state mandated testing.
