Experienced teaching college student for hire.

Interactive modeling of examples, repetition, and simplifying subject matter are key components of my teaching style. Many students have difficulty relating to academic material due the lack being given time to practice example assignments. I also teach universal strategies of how to study material to fully understand assignments.
I have worked as a Special Education Instructional Assistant for the past 8 years. I am currently attending school to become a special education teacher. I have experience teaching many different students from various grade levels and have tracked their academic progression. I have ran several reading and math interventions for my school sites for kindergarten through 8th grade.

My comments on tutoring Composition : As an English teacher I focus on critical thinking, reading and writing. Students work from a rubric and the Bay Area Writing Process.

I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement.
I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range o ... read more

Composition is one of my top subjects! THE LION AND THE RABBIT:// Many Many Years ago, some animals lived together in one place. One of them was a lion, he was the strongest among them, he was the king of all. This lion was very lazy, spending most of the day sleeping. So he asked each animal in the wood to bring the food for him in rotation. all the animals were afraid of him when he is angry and hungry. One of those days, it was the time for the small Rabbit to go and get the lion food, he couldn't find nothing for him, he spent long hours to find some thing can take to the lion the king,etc....

Experienced Educator Available To Tutor

I taught high school English for three years. My students ranged from far below basic to advanced. My students consistently showed improvement in their standardized test scores and over 95% of my students passed the course. Also, Over 95% of my sophomore passed the CAHSEE. In addition to my high school experience, I have been tutoring adult learners for the past three years, becoming the program manager two years ago. In this roll, I administer assessments from which individual learning plans are developed for each student. I also recruit and train volunteer tutors to work with our students.
I am patient yet firm. I expect students to be accountable for their own success; I want my students to become self-sufficient. With proper guidance and encouragement most students will succeed if not excel.

Academic Learning to Standards and Beyond!

In an effort to conjure mutual respect, I approach each student more like a peer rather than a teacher, although they know who is an charge. With my elementary students, I have been known to kick a soccer ball around with them or read them a book... schedule permitting. "Play time" is my pro bono contribution after a good lesson.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a Sac State graduating senior in civil engineering. My area of interest is water and environmental engineering, but I have excelled in all of my classes. I have no professional experience, but I have a lot of experience studying with classmates and friends.
