PSAT Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fresno, CA

Experienced in Math section but also knowledgeable in English Section Most of the students who require tutoring have trouble building on previous lessons they have learned. The problem is if a student fails to learn a concept in class by the time the teacher moves on, he/she will be left behind from that point on. The job of a tutor is to find these hold ups and patch them with a customized lesson plan to fit the students learning patterns. This is what i will do and i personally promise results in under a month I've always enjoyed helping others understand mathematics. During my high school years i would voluntarily help my friends, and the classmates near me keep up with class lectures and provide them with tips to help them complete take home assignments. I know the importance of having a personalized method of teaching according to the individual and their specific needs. No one lear

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.

Most tutors merely act as a solutions manual for off the shelf test prep books. I believe in providing my students a fully comprehensive curricula that covers both strategy and subject matter. Every student learns differently and at their own pace. I strongly believe in diagnosing and targeting student's weak areas. I have enjoyed tutoring since high school. During college, I tutored college level math and chemistry. After college I worked for a large test prep company teaching SAT prep courses in various high schools. My education background is in biology (BA Molecular & Cell Biology, UC Berkeley) so I especially love tutoring science and math. My expertise is in standardized test prep (mainly SAT and GRE for graduate schools). My experience is not only tutoring and teaching, but also developing test prep material for both SAT and GREs

Direct and understanding of any needs. As an honor student from the moment I entered school, I have been aware of the importance of education and the "no child left behind" policy. Although I have chosen the financial field for furthering myself, my love for helping students is undeniable. I always helped my peers through schooling, and in response have learned many communication skills needed. Regardless of student age, I am able to mold to their abilities and needs.

I am a very down to earth person especially when it comes to kids. I always try to lighten up the mood and make learning things interesting and fun. I don't like to dismiss when I see a child having trouble in something. Every person has a different way of learning, I try to cater to each of their needs. I have tutored children in reading last summer. It was one of the most gratifying things I have done. I worked with English as second language children ranging from ages 5 to 13. We used a lesson plan and several activities to help children in achieving their reading level goals. Also, in my undergrad experience, I excelled in writing and was very good with meeting deadlines.

It is essential to build repoire with every student. Every child learns various strategies to help them learn the subject. Fortunately, it is my duty to assist the student to build their knowledge by incorporating exciting hands on, visual, and auditory learning strategies that create long lasting learning in which helps them to use their knowledge out-side the classroom. Every student needs the challenge to foster their social and cognitive skills. Therefore, group and individual learning produces meaningful knowledge that lasts for a life time. Every child deserves motivation in learning. Thus, as an educator, it is my goal to provide enthusiasticl teaching techniques that build conceptual knowledge for every child. As a passionate educator, I was motivated to learn various teaching strategies that enhanced my desire to teach every student in need of an excellent education. To

My experience in the teaching field has been primarily as a substitute on a daily basis. I have some long-term sub assignments in my resume as well. For the past 7 years I have limited my assignments to "Home/Hospital". I meet 5 hours per week with each student to provide complete instruction in all subject areas for the student(s) unable to be in the regular classroom setting due to illness. It is very much a tutoring situation as 5 hours per week is not nearly enough to provide the detailed instruction available on a daily basis. It seems to me that everyone can learn, in different ways and at different times. My approach is to have several options of which approach will be successful. Being a 1:1 teacher allows me the freedom and time to work with a student on a concept in a number of ways until the cognition sets in for him. Being enthusiastic and excited about the learning expe

I have been working with students since I was in Middle School myself. I went to college to become a special education teacher and am currently working as a resource specialist. I work with students who have learning disabilities, are at risk, have emotional disturbances, autism, or just need a helping hand. I have also taught in general education classrooms. I believe every child is capable of matching and exceeding our highest expectations. Every child learns differently and that is my approach. I don't believe in cookie cutter education. I design programs around students interests, needs, and abilities. I believe that positive feedback and reinforcement get better results than negativity, and it is my job to help your child be successful. It is my job to help your child buy into their own education and realize how great it is to be a lifelong learner.

I stated tutoring privately and through the college when I was a student myself to see if teaching was something I wanted to do as a career. I tutored all my college years and realized that this is exactly what I want to wake up for every day. I earned my BS and single subject in Mathematics from Fresno State University. I have worked with students at all levels. I have tutored students as young as 5th graders and gone through levels of math from basic math to some graduate courses. I have been teaching for 9 years at high school up to pre-calculus. I teach because I want students to feel the same passion for math as I do and not be intimidated by it as lots of students are of mathematics. I think each student is differnt and so is their learning style. As a teacher I want my student to find their confidence in math which mostly comes when they understand the subject completely.

I enjoying helping others and teaching them what I know, whatever age they may be. I am very patient and friendly, which are characteristics I find to be important in a tutor. Also, I can be flexible in my teaching style, since I understand that not everyone learns in the same manner. I know that subjects such as math and science can be particularly difficult to understand, but I am willing to take the extra time to ensure that the individual I’m working with is able to grasp the material. Through support and encouragement, I feel that any type of learner is able to overcome their difficulties and be successful with their education. Education is extremely important in my life and I feel that I need to share my devotion with those around me.

I have worked with different types of students over the years. At San Francisco State University, my lectures were geared toward incoming freshman and International students. It was my work with international students in a tutorial setting that allowed for the growth of my skills as an ESL instructor. From this experience, I have incorporated patience and the ability to break concepts down for those with language barriers. After working with an ADD student at SCORE, I learned the importance of concentration and focus when teaching key items. Overall, I incorporate a level of engagement, patience, understanding, and excitement into my style of teaching. I am passionate about education. For this reason, I obtained both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Political Science. Until recently, I was pursuing my teaching credential at the University of San Francisco.

Direct instruction is a proven and effective way of teaching students to learn. Cognitive coaching is also a method to enhance a student's learning and teaching them various ways to apply their cognitive abilities to better strengthen their study habits and skills. As an educator, I've been able to provide evidenced based instruction to students who need extra help in challenging subjects. I have over 10 years of experience working with children from ages 3 and up. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs and have worked with children with autism for 7 years using evidenced based methods such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies.

As a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, I have always held the upmost interest and passion in helping students achieve the best they could. I received my degree in American studies, this degree is designed to allow students to create their own educational path within Berkeley's campus. I designed mine to encompass child development, education, and psychology. With that, I have been able to learn different approaches in teaching individual learning types. I worked as a recreational program instructor for 3 years. There I helped students from the grades 3-6 with their homework on a daily basis, in all subjects. My approach in teaching is unique. I have an autistic sibling and a son with an individualized education program, so my understanding of approaching children is on an individual basis. With my personal and professional experience, I have learned to be patient, understanding, friendly
