More About This Tutor...

I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skills in Spanish Language and Literature, Englih Literature, math (geometry and algebra) and science (physics, human physiology, and biology). In the past I have tutored these subjects for five years.
I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust ... read more

I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science and my teaching credential. For the last 8 years I have been a teacher. I have spent 5 years teaching math at the Junior High and High School Level. This past summer I spent teaching Algebra to High School Students, most of whom had been unsuccessful before. Those students were very successful. I have had experience working with students that under achieve. I get satisfaction in seeing students succeed.
A good environment is essential to learning. A rich learning environment that cares about the deficiency needs so that intellectual achievement may occur. They will know where they stand. Students will have ideas. Those ideas will be considered valuable. Modeling and scaffolding will be used to create a foundation for learning. The success will create more motivation. Wait time will increase so students can make better responses. ... read more

During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up an after school program that focuses on tutoring K-8th grade.
My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Since graduating from highschool, I have had the desire to encourage and expand the knowledge base and love of learning for each student in my care. Having grown up in multiple countries, I am fluent in English, Spanish, French and have a MA in Christian Education. In my 11 1/2 years as an educator, I have taught every subject in elementary school, with an emphasis on arithmetic, history, science, reading, composition and grammar. In highschool, I have taught history, writing, composition and logic. I currently homeschool my two daughters, who are in 3rd and 5th grade.
I am a firm believer that each child is special and distinct and each should be approached differently in order to achieve the maximum results. My goal is to instill in each student a love of learning which will benefit them for the rest of their studies and lives, not just through their current difficulty. Eve ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and helpful, but never intimidating. My style works best with high school students, who describe me as approachable, yet structured.
I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and rese ... read more
