A Little Bit About Me...

I have always helped people with their homework, particularly in when it comes to English and elementary math. I worked for wyzant.com for four months, where I tutored a little girl in Spanish and it was really fun, but ultimately she had too much on her plate so I stopped. A year later the father of the girl I tutored before asked me to come back, but by then I had a full-time job and school. Now I would like to go back to tutoring because its something I enjoy and I am also good at it.
I like to make learning fun by teaching according to what my students like. For instance, with the little girl I tutored, I knew that she was a visual learner and that she loved art and music so I gave her a mnemonic device in a form a song she liked to help her remember verb conjugations. I also made flashcards for her to remember fruits and vegetables as well as articles of clothing. I will make ... read more

I excelled in both math and English tracks in high school, and when they ran out of math classes I could take, I started on computers. I put myself through college tutoring all levels of math from basic mathematics to advanced calcusus (though I never did like trig). I've been an award-winning professional website designer/developer for 16 years.

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.
I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 earned a BS in Social Science and will have completed my MA in Teaching in February 2011. I have a passion for working with both children and teenagers and have tutored for the last 3 years mainly in writing and English, but also elementary Mathematics.
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 tha ... read more

I love teaching people of all ages how to become life learners. I believe that each person learned in their own way, and finding the method that works for that person opens a whole new world for the person. I am patient and easy going. I believe that it is important to build upon what the person already knows and understands to build their confidence in themselves and their ability to learn. By doing this, I try to make learning fun and leave the person with the desire to learn more on their own.
I was a high achiever in school and continue to teach myself new things each day. I have and AA and a BBA in Accounting, and an Masters of Business Administration.

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 have over 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher and a regular full time classroom teacher. My first position was teaching Japanese Language to middle school students in Salinas. These were for the most part first generation Americans of Hispanic background. I also taught hands on science at a private school where the children were mostly from India or Asia. I also taught reading in an after school program for students who were reading slightly below grade level. I created all of my own materials. STAR test results showed that my students did improve enough to be at grade level or above. They just needed extra help and attention.
I believe that each child is an empty page in a book. Teachers must provide information to help fill up that page. It is my job to see that each child reaches their true potential. I realize that each child learns in different ways. ... read more

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 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.
