I graduated Magna cum Laude with Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a Resource Minor in 1990. I taught special eduction K-3 one year and K-6 for three other years where I restructured the special education program to bring it up to research based best practices. I supervised nine aids, three assigned to my classroom and six to individual students. I designed curriculum aligned with student IEP goals, collaborated with regular education teachers and related service providers, and monitored student progress. I have only two classes before earning my Master's Degree in Educational technology where I designed technology instructional units.
I believe that each student has strengths and weaknesses and it is my job as a teacher to find these and help students expand on the strengths while overcoming the weaknesses.Each student has a unique learning style so I need to teach thin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked in the electrical industry for the past seven years, with a two year hiatus to serve as a teaching missionay in Guatemala. I have a passion for learning, such that I earned my BS in Business Management in only three years of study at the Univeristy of Utah. Through my years of schooling, I have gain masterful skills in both English and Math, due to the many papers and courses I have taken in these fields of study. Due to my many courses in Management and years as a manager trainee, I understand how to motivate people in any circumstance. Also, because of my missionary work, I speak fluent Spanish and have taught people of all age groups and maturity levels.
I must admit that my experience with teaching is limited, however I love to sit down with groups of children and help them to discover new concepts and ways to learn the subject matter. I taught five year olds ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I did my internship at Springville High School and Dixon Middle School. At Dixon I was selected to help teach adults about the computer. I have 9 children. I was able to teach each of them. Some of them have gone on to higher education and have scholarships. I still have some at home and enjoy teaching them.
I like the tutoring environment because I like seeing individual progress. It is easier to assess where the child is. I believe that the basics are essential to moving forward in education. Memorization of math facts makes it easier for a child to learn new material because he isn't bogged down. I don't believe enough emphasis is placed on arithmetic in today's schools. Basic arithmetic skills make story problems easier. Types of story problems need to be practiced, not just thrown in at the end of a chapter without much information on how to do it. I am patient and ... read more

I believe that children all come with different levels of cognition. Therefore, each child has their own learning pace. I like to give a child the time that he needs in order to accomplish his goal in learning. I have patience and am understanding--this would be a great benefit in working with children who need a little extra help in their studies.
I recently graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Development. However, before Human Development was my major, it was English Language. Through my four years at a major university, I have learned how to properly write research essays, what sources are credible for essays, and essay format. I also have had a pet-peeve for words that are incorrecly spelled and when there are grammatical errors in something professionally done.

A Little Bit About Me...

I homeschooled my 3 children, during which time I developed, planned and taught full curricula over the course of 15 years, each year tailoring the material to the levels and needs of each child. I have taught most subjects from Kindergarten through high school level including math and science of many levels. I am also excellent at quickly understanding content I have not taught before and helping the student understand it. I am very good at helping with research papers and other writing assignments. I can help with editing and proofreading. I have taught English as a Second Language to Spanish speakers for 2 years. I have beginning Spanish speaking ability.
I know how to help students study and learn. I can teach ways to get important information from notes and textbooks to help students complete assignments and increase test scores. I am very patient and if a student doesn't unde ... read more
