Communications Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Firebaugh, CA

My teaching 'style' is a bit unique, in my opinion. By that, I mean that every child/student 'learns' differently, so I must 'adapt' my style 'on the fly' after determining what is the most effective approach/style/method for that individual student. In addition, the subject that I am teaching also affects my style and some 'tools' that I learned as a youngster and a teacher are also implemented frequently. I was trained to be a teacher at CSU-Fresno, where I graduated in May, 1999. I substituted for 3 consecutive years in Fresno, Clovis, and Madera Unified School districts at grade levels 3-12. I received my Master's Degree in Sports Administration from the American Public University system in May, 2011, and graduated with Honors and a 4.0 GPA. I am currently trying to obtain my credential and hope to be an Athletic Director one day.

I have an informal, friendly style to my tutoring methods. I feel that having a comfortable and friendly environment helps the learning process. I use clear and simple language to explain the material. I also feel it is extremely important to be a good listener, to be fully understanding of the students areas of strengths and weaknesses.
