I prefer to not speak while tutoring because all of my teachers have been deaf and an immersive experience is the most effective. Hello! My name is Emma and I have taken 3 years of American Sign Language. My experience in the classroom involves only having deaf teachers, which I feel was the most helpful to my learning. I am well aware of deaf culture and can provide background knowledge and etiquette. I plan to continue taking ASL courses in the Fall.

Entering Year 3 of sign and sign on a regular basis and love it. I decide how best the child learns before making a full plan of how to help them. I am currently in college, attending Chabot College. I was recently in a 4 year college down in Pomona, CA for a quarter, Cal Poly Pomona, and in a couple of years I will be transferring Cal Poly SLO. I passed my high school years with A's and B's and have also been passing my university/college classes with the same. In high school, I tutored kids for free and a lot of them were in grades above me. Near the end of high school I started teaching younger kids through care.com. I absolutely love tutoring and I think it's amazing to watch a child's mind grow right in front of you.

I have helped tutor many ASL students and peers in ASL and I am proud to say that they improved as requested. Creative writing is something that I have always felt natural doing. I have help students with creative writing assignments, and even some in class assignments, once a student understands they just begin to write it all out.

My teaching style changes with each student. My passion for teaching and working wit children is driven by the fresh way they have of looking at problems and the world around them. I like to observe first then go into speaking a language the student understands. After we immerse into conversations to get a feel of how we interpret and process information, I like to then teach in a way that they student can apply the logic of nature into problem solving. I have experience working with k-12. Along with employed tutoring, volunteering, and mentoring. I am qualified to tutor in English, math, and social studies because throughout my studies I have excelled in all three subjects and have tutored them also. I enjoy tutoring math because I get to constantly push the limits of how I can explain concepts. In English, I read lots off long books. And social studies, for the same reason as English,

Teaching is a very strong passion of mine and I intend on continuously working in the field of Education for many years. I am a firm believer that every child has the ability to learn to their fullest potentional and it is my job to give them the tools to achieve this. I believe children learn best through visual aid, repetition, and example to ensure that the information has been received and retained for future use. Given the proper attention, patience, and guidance, every child has the ability to be successful both in and outside the classroom. Every child should have the opportunity to be successful in the classroom and I strive to help make that a possibility. I graduated from Syracuse University with a dual-major in History and Social Studies Education. I have extensive knowledge in reading, writing, and grammar due to writing two thesis papers, taking several writing-intensiv
