More About This Tutor...

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.

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 particip ... read more

My philosophy of education is to be democratic. All students have a voice in decision making. All students can learn. I encourage individuality and independence. Students learn through examples, modeling, and setting high expectations. I teach through discovery and a constructivist approach. I believe all students can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. Students will excel by learning new strategies and techniques. I work hard to make a difference in my students lives.
As long as I can remember, I have loved education. Beginning in my backyard with my cat and dog to my brothers and cousins, I have been a teacher. I grew up to be a teacher and enjoy teaching and tutoring children. I completed my first degree and received my teaching credential in 1990. Recently, I completed my second Masters degree in Special Education an ... read more

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.

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 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.

My BA degree in General Studies: Humanities/Fine & Performing Arts gives me a broad base in general education, allowing me to be better able to help young students in their scholastic endeavors. Through various classes, I have gained an intimate understanding of reading and the writing process. I also have a strong base in general mathematics and science, and have worked with young students in these areas with good results. In seven years of working with children in the capacity of a Teacher’s Aide, a tutor, and a Sunday School Teacher, I have learned to work within the student’s individual style of learning.
I love working with children and helping them discover the world around them. Every child is capable of learning, but in his or her own way, and the key is find what works best for each one. I am patient, considerate, and kind, treating each child as I like to be treated. ... read more

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 ... read more

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 missing pieces that will turn the light on for the key concepts. I love working with all ages, including adult learners and persons with disabilities.
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 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 am dedicated to instilling knowledge and providing the means, or tools, to acquire knowledge. My expertise lies in the ability to individualize learning using the learning modality that best suits each student. I discover what hinders one's academic progress and correct it filling the gaps in an individual's education. All students can learn. It is my duty to discover how and use their abilities to achieve. All students must experience success; they cannot achieve it if they do not know what it is and what it feels like. My students succeed.
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 ... read more

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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
