I do my best to make learning fun and relatable.

I have worked as an English, Math, and Science tutor at both the undergraduate and graduate level for the past 7 years. Within that time, I have tutored countless students that have shown noticeable improvement in their test scores and their understanding of class material. As an undergraduate at Victor Valley College, I was part of the Model United Nations program, the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and the Writing Center. I currently work as a tutor at CSU San Bernardino, where I assist students with writing assignments from a wide variety of disciplines. As a senior/graduate level pre-medical biology major, I am highly experienced with topics ranging from Cellular Respiration to Neuroscience. I also have hundreds of hours of plant, animal, cellular, and outdoor/ecological lab experience.

Throughout my college years I have been employed by two different after school programs for a combined amount of 6 years tutoring/teaching in public school after school programs. (Grades K-6) I also spent 2 months teaching full time 3rd and 4th grade after college prior to unfortunately being laid off due to financial losses in the school. I also tutored English in college through an Advanced English class I was placed in.
I have a passion and calling for working with children. From the time I was a child, I knew this is what I was meant to do. I believe children are the hope of our country, and that every child is capable of learning and expanding their knowledge. Knowledge is power, and if a child is given the proper encouragement and motivation they can and will succeed. I consider it an amazing privilege to be an educator and make a difference in the lives of my students.

In my 40+ years of experience in the field of education, I have taught full time at all grade levels, from pre-school to teacher training. In the field of adult education have taught writing to Chinese-speaking adults, which enabed them to pass the California teacher exam. I have taught remedial reading classes, and after-school tutoring programs at education centers and in individual homes.
My teaching style centers around the value of the students. They deserve respect and are required to give respect. My students are generlly relaxed in my classroom, but expected to work to their best ability. To that end I try to present material in a variety of ways, to address the various learning styls of the students, and discover methods to remedy weaknesses and build on strengths.

More About This Tutor...

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, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 ... read more

I have dedicated my time over the past twelve years to community service, particularly with children and young adults. As a Model Coordinator for Pure Fashion, a Catholic-based program sponsored by Regnum Christi, I assisted in the development of seventy Pure Fashion models, ranging in age from 14 to 18, to become confident and competent leaders in their communities guided by faith and with respect for human dignity. As a classroom aide for School, Inc., I taught 4th grade students the basics of personal finance and entrepreneurship. I also developed lesson plans to correspond with teaching sessions.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn with patience, perseverance, and if appropriate methods are applied. I am patient, easy going, and considerate of others. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given ... read more
