While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content.

I am considered a Master teacher as I train other teachers about best practices and have also been recognized as "Teacher of the Year.”
I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual studen ... read more

Received the RIAM silver medal at 15 for piano, and the gold medal at 18 years of age. Played drums for 12+ years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an employee of the Solano County Office of Education working with Special needs students for the last ten years as a Para Educator. Given the population, I have not used my Black Studies or Creative Writing experience in this position. Though, I have a great desire to work in a field that allows me to use my degree. Also, I have passed the CBEST and am interested in completing the English CSET to obtain a teaching degree in the future.

You can do this; you do it already by being who you are.

Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have my Masters in Business Administration and am currently a law student at McGeorge School of Law. I believe one on one tutoring is critical at any age. I am well versed in math, reading, and test prep! I am very energetic and believe in positive reinforcement and the idea that there are no stupid questions. When a student feels free to ask anything they don't fully understand it allows for a firm foundation to be built that will support a deeper understanding in a topic!

I have spent the last three year being a nanny and tutor for kids in a variety of age groups. I have worked with all kinds of kids including special needs children, group home kids, High school students in AP classes, and Dyslexic children. I also have taught swim and Flute lessons in the past. I really enjoy working with children and, form my experience, children really enjoy working with me.
I find it's best to get to know each child individually before picking a teaching style to use. Most of my students have been successful because I mold me tutoring plans around their individual needs

My comments on tutoring Creative Writing : I have taught this subject at both primary and secondary levels in my school district.

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.
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.
