My comments on tutoring Elementary Math : I am good in basic math. My weakness is story problems unless they are really simple. I know how to do fractions, percentages, and decimals really well. I can do very basic Algebra, but I am not in anyway an expert at it.

I teach everyone slowly and by going over the subject over and over again until it is understood. I am a very patient tutor and am good at what I do. I try to think of ways that would be easy for my students to understand. I can even work with Special Education students. My son was in Special Education all through grammar and high school, so I understand their needs.
I have eight years experience tutoring subjects like Basic Math, Basic Reading, Grammar, English 250, English 260, and English 270 at Shasta College. I also tutored subjects such as Keyboarding I and Keyboarding II, which is Typing I and Typing II on a computer; Machine Calculations, Business English, Business Communications, English as a Second Language, and Excel. In the eight years I tutored at Shasta College, these are the subjects I tutored and loved to see the success of my students after I helped them.

I will review your child's work to find out where they are having problems. I will work with them in their familiar text book and break down the problems to make them easier for them to understand. Math was not always easy for me. I worked hard to learn and excel mathematically. Now I feel that I have pride in teaching something that was also hard for me to understand.

I earned Glenn County Teacher of the Year in 1998 and Tehama County Teacher of the Year in 2007. I was also named Glenn County Teacher of the Week for Channel 7 News in 1999. From 1992 to 1996 I trained in study skills for the History and Geology departments at Chico State through the Equity Services Office. This included a 3 hour training session each week in addition to tutoring individually and in groups for struggling college students. This was 4 of the greatest years ever!

I have completed a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a double option in Accounting and Finance, as well as a second major in Economics, from California State University, at Chico (CSUC). I was an academic tutor for the Student Learning Center at CSUC for two semesters, where I attained an advanced level tutoring certificate from the College Reading & Learning Association. I have also been a private academic tutor for two additional semesters since leaving the Student Learning Center. The CSUC Accounting Department and several Accounting professors at CSUC continue to recommend my tutoring services to their students.
I always try to be very patient and supportive when I'm tutoring. I am a strong believer in the Socratic method of teaching, which from my understanding, means asking the student questions regarding what they already know about a concept in order ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having earned degrees in PE, Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics I have a strong science background in subjects such as Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Kinetics, Biomechanics, Cellular Biology, Physics and Chemistry. In turn many of these subjects require knowledge of advanced mathmatical formulas and statistics. Therefore I am also very strong in math. I have published many articles as well as scientific research which emphasizes my skills in writing and grammar and again supports my knowledge of statistical analysis. Institutions for which I have taught are CSU Chico, Butte College, Yuba College and The American College Of Sports Medicine. All in all I have well over ten years experience teaching at an advanced level.
My teaching style would be that of Guided Discovery. This is a highly interactive style which leads the student to uncover the answer themselves ... read more

Children are amazing! I have been around children of all ages for most of my life due to a large family. Every child has an opportunity to be the next Albert Einstein however I feel that it is the lack of understanding on the teachers behalf on how to teach to the different needs of the children that keeps the children from learning all that they could. Every person learns differently and I feel that I have the ability to help the children learn at their own pace and relate the material to them so they can better understand. Though some children can be difficult to teach I feel that I am very patient and endearing and have the ability to work with all different types of children to help them succeed and increase their knowledge.

During my time as a student studying Biological Sciences, I encountered varying levels of math and science ranging from statistics to calculus and basic biology to various types of advanced physiology. I have taken the opportunity to tutor fellow classmates and younger students in science through the biological honor society, Omicron Theta Epsilon. I have also tutored children for the past year in science; for the first half of the year I tutored students from grades 3-6, and for the second half I tutored students from grades K-3. In the second portion I also assisted in lab and teaching design.
In teaching, I believe it to be very important to gain the student's interest within the subject matter. With an interest comes greater understanding and retention. Providing a structure that can be worked through systematically can be very helpful in the learning process. Not all students ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As the school I taught at was private, the students were very competitive. I found my lectures and class activities reached 90% of the students. The remaining 10% were the students I especially loved to instruct. These students had difficulty learning the subject in a traditional fashion, so I was forced to explain the subject from a different angle. The individual attention I gave students before and after class proved to be invaluable.
As Cal Poly SLO has one of the most competitive engineering programs on the west coast, I have a depth of knowledge in both math and sciences. After earning my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, I lived in Germany, Ohio, and Central California while trying to figure out my place in this world. I settled for two years in Salinas, California where I taught pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry to junior high and high school students. I believe this ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

"How many different ways can I teach a concept?" is the mentality I use when working with students. Every student learns in his/her own unique way. Being creative, adaptive, and fun are essential. I live for that "ah-ha moment" where everything clicks. It's no secret that we succeed in the things that we love doing. I love working with children and I strive to create a learning experience that engages my students. My goal is to leave my students eager to see what's in store for them in the next lesson.
I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. While earning this degree I was given the opportunity to gain experience in working in various classrooms at many different grade levels. I feel most confident in my teaching skills when working one-on-one with students or in small groups. My age areas of expertise are Kindergarten-6th grade.

Making lessons interesting I feel is key to retaining student interest. Using real life and practical examples are an efective means of getting a point accross. Encouraging student participation and using clues to prompt the student to use reasoning will allow the student to be able to solve problems, sometimes in areas where the student has no experience. If problems arise I make myself available for guidance to sucess.
I had a specialized teaching credential associated with my Nursing license and taught at the Junior College level in that field. I retired from Nursing in 2006 and gave up my license as well as the credential.I taught for four years out of Quincy, Ca.

I have a large passion for sciences, and teaching others. I am a kinesthetic and visual learner, and I understand that determining a students learning abilities is the first key to success with education. My ambition is to provide the best education and learning experience for all I influence. It only took one great teacher in my sixth grade to lead me to my love of science, and I believe that every student has the capability to love the subject if they have the right instructor.
