I first find out your true objective for learning the material. Is it a requirement and not in your field of study so you just want to pass the class or is this a part of your passion or career and really want to know the nuts and bolts of the subject. I will adjust accordingly and make out a plan. I will also figure out the best way to teach you the material and from there we will have a plan to accomplish the targeted goal.
I have a lot of experience not only in fields that you may need help learning, but I also spent time during college tutoring classmates as I was in the class and developed a style to help students learn quickly and also reinforce the concepts. I understand the student to determine the best learning style for you and I make the transformation teaching you the material in an effective manner.

More About This Tutor...

I am a very kind hearted person who believes every child can learn. I am patient and caring and I believe in positive reassurance as a way to encourage learning. I have found that the most important aspect of teaching is to inspire the student by setting an example. I find this especially appealing because I feel that it is important for a student to want to learn. I strive to not exclude any child or prevent learning in any way. I want to help children find the best way for them to learn based on their specific capabilities. I want my students to gain independence and be able to enjoy learning. I can make a difference in a child’s life by being an exceptional influence as well as a knowledgeable educator.
I am a recent graduate of California State University San Bernardino. I have a BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. In my previous jobs I have been quic ... read more

At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must end in success and praise. It also helps that I have a good sense of humor and a knack for discovering each student's personal interests and melding those into the lessons. It's imperative instruction be individualized, positive and patient.
After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I approach each student as an individual and develop a learning plan that will instill confidence while assuring that the student is able to understand and perform the subject matter skills for academic success. My ability to relate to students and understand their perspective allows me to quickly develop a relationship on which I am able to build a foundation of trust and commitment so that the student actively engages in learning. By using a diagnostic approach, we jointly determine the student’s current level of knowledge and quickly reinforce that foundation before proceeding with instruction on more advanced grade level requirements. I use models and schemas that the student can internalize to teach and then re-teach the structure so that concepts connect and then continue to build skills that advance retention and equip the student with the intellectual map to demonstrate competen ... read more

As a recent graduate from University of California- Santa Barbara, I am eager to put my acquired skills and knowledge to use. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Global and International studies with an emphasis in Latin America, which has provided me with the opportunity to understand many different cultures and value the importance of education. I always excelled in writing and research classes, earning high marks on term papers and exams. I volunteered in a local kindergarten class 5 hours a week. I helped coordinate various learning labs, that enabled the children to explore and learn new things.

Find out what level the student is at, what their interest are, what the like about learning or hate about learning and go from their. As each person is different and each person learns in their own way. Learning is not hard, finding out how to learn is.
As a Merchant Marine and Chief Steward I have taught, tutored, or mentor kids of all ages and backgrounds. My passion when teaching is to try and breakdown the subject to it's most basic level. A level that the person being taught can understand. Having work with kids from different ethnic and educational backgrounds I find this to be very affective and productive. Also, not having been a great student in high school with dyslexia, I have been able to over come these short comings and graduate from collage with honors.

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. Having earned a Bachelor Degree in Social Science with a primary field in Sociology and two secondary fields in Psychology and Ethnic Studies with University Honors, have enabled me to gain a better understanding of the society we live in today. In addition, I have been an AVID tutor in high school, which is a program whose main goal is to prepare students for college. I have tutored high school students in Social Studies, Math, Chemistry, English and Spanish.

I have been working with writers and self-publishing authors for ten years. Students I tutor in English, writing and test preparation are from junior high to college level. Am especially good with bi-cultural background students who want to learn, but know more than their parents or peers at school. Have assisted students improving grades from mediocre to B+ or A level with consistent help and student commitment.
I am eager to help students get through school with less stress and more confidence in their learning abilities. Any student can succeed in education and life goals with top reading skills, so I concentrate on moving them through difficult assignments and future goals. Am a good communicator and empathetic instructor. Background, school and current desires, I take all into consideration on an individual basis.

I believe that all students can achieve academic success, even in their least favorite subjects. However, everyone learns in different ways with sundry motivations. Many students require some one on one time with a qualified teacher, who will both identify the student’s learning style and adapt their teaching style accordingly. I also believe that a student’s confidence in their abilities will play into their success. A skilled teacher will tailor lessons and feedback to build on skills a student does have, instilling confidence and encouraging the learner to meet the challenge of complex topics.
With over 17 years of teaching experience, I realize the impact that one on one tutoring can have on a student. My classroom experience includes secondary math and English, and my tutoring experience includes basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2 with trigonometry, SAT prep ... read more
