Optimistic communicator sharing a love of reading & writing

I worked as a tutor while doing respite work for United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County in California. I am proud to say that the young man I worked with the longest is now finishing his BA in justice studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills. I also tutored as a substitute aid for the Ocean View School District in Orange County, California. After earning my BA in journalism from CSUF I have published in a number of print and online media outlets, and I am currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing.
Communication is key, so I will look for the specific interests that a particular student has and connect with where their strengths reside. From there we can build on these high points and draw them into other areas where their abilities need improvement.

My comments on tutoring Writing : An active writer as well as teacher in writing for seven years.

I have been a special education teacher in the Apache Junction Unified School District since August 2008 where I began as an inclusion teacher at Thunder Mountain Middle School as an emergency certified special education teacher. In order to maintain my job, I got my master's degree in Cross-Categorical Special Education. I have taught in a self-contained classroom, a resource language arts classroom as well as a co-teacher in Language Arts and Science. I have written many Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and have made sure that students in special education receive the services specified in the IEP. Currently I am a district representative in AJUSD and continue to carry out duties involving student services in special education. As a language arts teacher, I have taught composition, creative writing, reading comprehension of both literary and informational texts, poetry to include ... read more

Humorous experienced tutor with unconventional methods!

I am a seasoned veteran tutor, and I enjoy, no love, mentoring, teaching, volunteering, training, or instructing almost as a hobby! I am especially passionate about career education and counseling as well as psychology and mathematics. Oooh and English too! I enjoy playing guitar and writing, also playing and instructing playing soccer.
My approach is a little different using humor to destress students. I believe in each student understanding the underlying concepts via instruction, physical materials and hands-on activities. I have a lot of patience. I love working with different and even difficult and shy students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning.
In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults partici ... read more

Writing is one of my top subjects! I have 24 years of writing legal motions, briefs, appeals and pleadings, including Complaints and Answers.

Re Spanish, after a review of the fundamentals, I ask questions in Spanish, and my student responds, after which we discuss his response.
I love to speak Spanish, especially with native speakers, something I have enjoyed doing since traveling with my Westwood HS Spanish Club to Hermosillo and Chihuahua in 1968 and 1969. My Spanish fluency blossomed in 1971, as I began living in Chile for two years, working occasionally with the Chilean Dept of Visas. Since then, I have traveled throughout Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico. Teaching others to speak Spanish brings me great joy.

Writing is one of my top subjects! Using mental picture to write and editing with colors is the best way to learn writing.

As a teacher, I encourage students to learn the traditional methods of learning, then use them as a guideline and modifier them to find their own learning style. One-size-fits-all only work when it comes to tube socks!
I have been teaching K4-8 since 1994 as a substitute and certified teacher. I hold a BA in Computer Science, and Mathematics, and a Master in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. As an international student who came to the USA with no English, I found ways to help me learn and understand American Read and Writing Standards and graduated with honors. These tips can help anybody regardless of their background become a master reader and writer in two sessions.

An outstanding teacher knows that ‘practice makes perfect’. I drill my students, thus obviating the fact that ‘practice makes perfect’. This rule, however, does not only apply to my classes, it also applies to my instructional techniques. I cut a video for the Student Teacher Monitor at Northern Arizona University that he might demonstrate the animation a teacher needs to be effective. I reviewed the video and found an area that I needed to work on. Thus, review, practice, and repetition will not only aid my students, it also helps me to improve.
My experience as an educator covers the range from grade six up to, an including grade twelve, grade twelve honors, and 'A' and 'O' levels in England. During this time frame, eleven years as a professional educator, I have served as the Head of the English Department at East Catholic High School in Detroit, Michigan, I served on the ... read more
