A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style involves fun and an active student. Self-discovery is the best way to learn and retain knowledge. I see myself as the facilitator; I give my students the tools, so they can figure out problems on their own and become more self-reliant. I want learning to be fun, involving games, healthy competition and active learning, so students become life long learners. Having said that, I have high expectations for students' abilities and behavior. I have always been able to build rapport and a mutual respect with students of all ages and backgrounds. That trust makes the learning environment more impactful.
I have taught ESL for 17 years to children and adults from all over the world. I have a strong command of language arts and am experienced at teaching literacy, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, essay writing, phonics, pronunciation, etc. I coordinate the after schoo ... read more

Read More About Jeff M...

My style of teaching starts with observations, questions and then active listening. With a valid agenda and skills assessment I can put an effective learning plan into place. I have a great deal of patience and continually seek to hone my teaching skills and be an inspirational mentor.
as a graduate of San Jose State University I have a lot of pride in my command of the English language. I am a stickler for proper grammar and spelling in all of the correspondence that I send. I have produced a wide variety of effective communication projects over the years and continue to strive for perfection. I have mentored many assistants in the business and practice of communications and photography. Many of them have established their own studios throughout the state.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Summa Cum Laude graduate, I have always valued academics and education. I began to share my drive for excellence through tutoring in high school. I tutored elementary school students in all subjects and college students in Statistics. During college, I tutored in Spanish, as my area of expertise. I have extensive knowledge of the Spanish language and dialects throughout Latin America and Spain through my studies, volunteer work, and travels in Latin America and Europe.
I have experience working with students of all ages and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge each person brings. I treat each student according to his/her needs and I look for the most effective ways he/she learns. I ask the student questions that lead to his/her discovery of the process, steps and answer to the problem. With this method the student has the satisfaction of resolving the problem, encourages him/her t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My first visit is just an assessment of where the student began to get lost regardless of the age or level. More often that not, they have to memorize their fractions to decimal to percentage conversion from 1/2 to 1/12. Given this underlying knowledge allows me to focus on the subject at hand. I usually recommend purchasing a Spark Notes or something similar for the subject as a reference guide. I use examples from the book to review, and assist in homework. I do not do the homework for them, however, do ask how they will approach it before diving in. I add tips and tricks and different ways to approaching the problem. I also assist in anxiety control, study and organization habits.
I started tutoring classmates in seventh grade and tutored friends in college in Trigonometry. I have earned two BS degrees in Landscape Architecture and Computer Science with a minor in Math. this div ... read more

I love working with all children. I enjoy teaching so much that I do that as a volunteer, in order to spend time in the learning environment. I love to help students with any problems or obtacles that they are facing in their studies and with their current curriculum. I have also helped students prepare for standardized test.
I have been tutoring for almost 12 years at the local community where I am also a Sunday school teacher. I have tutored in Math, Science, Literature and English. My experience involves tutoring students of all ages, from K-12. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management from San Jose State University.
