A Little Bit About Me...

I taught basic music to children in Orange County, California and loved it. I went to their homes. I do not have a teaching credential but I love to teach. The grammer school I went to in Upper Montclair, New Jersey was run by Dominican Nuns and they instilled the love of reading and how to comprehend whatever you read.

I have taught grade three for four years. I have taught fifth grade for five years. I have worked as a special education teacher in a moderate-to-severe special day class for two years. I have substitute taught for two years in grades k-12. I am currently an adjunct ESL teacher for a junior college and have taught pre-level I for two years and levels I and II for two years. I have home schooled students at the high school level for two years. I have tutored students in grades 2-8 for five years.
I believe in motivating children to be self learners through independent discovery. I particularly enjoy watching an apathetic student become excited when he/she has grasped a concept that was frustrating for him/her. I am a firm believer in children becoming responsible for their own learning. This is achieved when the teacher is able to teach and the child is able to learn. I fe ... read more

I taught in private schools in California for 15 years ( 1980-1994). I started as a teacher, then became a Media Specialist, then a Vice Principal and finally a principal. I moved to Indiana in 1994, where I taught in public school for 3 years. We moved back to California in 2000. Since that time I have served as a Library Media Specialist and Reading Teacher. Presently I teach reading fundamentals to small groups of students from 2nd through 6th grades.Additionally, I am a writer, and have published numerous stories and articles, and one full length book of fiction.
I believe in using the differentiated approach to teaching--based upon the seven intelligences. I plan for all lessons being taught, and state the objectives on the board for each lesson. I present the lesson, allowing the students to interact and respond by activating prior knowledge, discussing points and inviting t ... read more

I have years of experience working with children. I love to focus one-on-one or in small groups and believe in working in a friendly, non-intimidating style with the children. I am patient and understanding while trying to look at the obstacle from the child's point of view. I believe making a difference in the lives of youth is one of the greatest rewards someone can offer. I have six years experience in managerial roles in school libraries, setting up reading programs and assisting students with writing projects as well. I also worked with the Friday Night Live anti-drug program in schools, working with youth of all ages.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe every student needs to learn something through their individual academic advantages or skills. Each student learns things different ways, and it is my job as a teacher to use all of the different avenues in my instruction so that I can target each student's indiviual learning abilities. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives

Beyond the subject matter and what I will be teaching, I have to spend some time getting to know the child. If I do not take the time to make them feel important and show that they have value, then the teaching part is meaningless. A relationship has to be established not only between a teacher and a student but, between two human beings. I like creating a safe environment where students feel comfortable enough to ask the most basic questions and ask for help on challenging problems. My job is to encourage, support and cheer on their efforts in the learning process. I enjoy being creative with my teaching style and will often have students "think outside the box" when learning a new task.
I am passionate about helping people. Teaching has enabled me to fuel that passion into an English classroom setting. I enjoy being around students and helping them solve their academic pro ... read more

During my last four years I have been given several opportunities to interact and educate students of all ages. Working with the Upward Bound Program I tutored high school students in various subjects. As a varsity basketball player I was frequently in charge of teaching the sport's fundamental skills necessary to younger children. While this kind of education differs from one received in the classroom, I believe that the objective is similar in that students are being taught essential elements of a subject. My bachelors degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry give me adequate knowledge on the material and my grammatical skills have been shaped by the numerous research papers and reports I have written.
I thoroughly enjoy working and education children. Whether it is on the basketball court or in the classroom, teaching children how to succeed and learn has always been a passion o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1999, I earned a bachelor's degree in journalism with an emphasis in creative writing from Pepperdine University. I spent the next decade honing my skills as a copy editor at daily newspapers. I have spent considerable time in and out of the office studying grammar books. A few years ago, I tutored a student in English. His mother reported significant improvement in his writing and comprehension. I specialize in grammar, punctuation and syntax. And while I am light in tutoring experience, I am one of the few tutors who can point to a grammar-heavy career and say, "This is the practical application of the skills you are learning."
First, I need to know over what and why the student is struggling. Once I know the problem, I can help the student gain the confidence and knowledge necessary to learn the material. My son learns in a unique way, and that has reinforced the reality that ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My desire is not to simply communicate information to students, but to accommodate material in such a way so that each individual student can learn a way that is easy and hopefully enjoyable. Not every student enjoys learning every subject, but I believe that an accommodating and understanding teacher, willing to work hard in order to make learning simple and useful, can give the student the necessary motivation and confidence to learn any subject well. Therefore, while I accommodate my teaching style to each student's needs and abilities, I always strive to teach in such a way where learning becomes a personal interest for the student as they expand their capabilities through engaging and struggling in the hard work that is education.
Throughout my educational experience I have been committed to academic excellence. I recently graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English. My stu ... read more

My dominant teaching style is connecting with students on a personal level. During my time as a mentor at Marina Del Rey, I enjoyed developing a relationship with my mentee inside and outside of the classroom, and I truly believe this helped him excel. I like to take a firm, but fun approach to tutoring, and I always challenge my students to try their hardest to complete a problem and not automatically defer to receiving help from the tutor. Patience and student empowerment are vital aspects of successful tutoring.
Through my education at UCLA, I developed a solid foundation in math and science, while completing my BS in Bioengineering. Additionally, I have well developed communication and grammar skills for an engineer due to several extracurricular activities, which required me to write time-sensitive documentation and reports. My tutoring experience comes from 2 years of vo ... read more
