Elementary Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gonzales, CA

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

I have experience being an English tutor to four different families during my time abroad in Barcelona. My students varied in age, the youngest being seven and the oldest being 13. This experience allowed me to better understand students at all different levels and what teaching methods children at different ages better respond to. I also have experience using my passion for art as tools of learning. I have experience teaching drawing and painting as tools of stress relief and of memorization. I also tend to encourage students to read and help to kickstart their overall motivation for learning and discovering by tapping in to their creative as well as academic sides.

My teaching style is based on certain principles which I believe forms the foundation of the way I teach. One basic principle is that one truly must have that desire to teach others. Another principle is to believe that knowledge needs to grow and needs to be shared with all who wishes to learn. A third principle of mine is the importance to be able to be flexible in the method of teaching as there are different learning abilities and one must be able to recognize and try different teaching approaches to meet the desired goals. In addition to the above principles, my people skills and patience and the desire to be able to help others in achieving their educational goals has led me to this teaching opportunity. My career as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist offered me opportunities to not just perform laboratory tests, ranging from general lab work to microbiology, but to share my experien

For many years I have worked with youth, and I hope to continue doing so. I love children and have a passion for mentoring and educating. For the past two years I worked at a YMCA after-school program tutoring children, and assisting in the supervision of the program. I recently finished completing my bachelor’s degree in business management from Liberty University, and have a solid understanding of English, Math, and Science. I am a key believer that education helps a child flourish throughout life.

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i

In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social action. I gained extensive experience researching, writing narrative and informative papers and determining how to use the information most effectively. My creative work has been presented locally and at international conferences. After finishing my BA in Human Communications, I realized I wanted a better education for my daughters than the local school district could provide. I began an in depth study of educational philosophies and concluded that homeschooling would be in their best interest. Through educating them, I realized that I have a love for teaching. Over the course of several years, I have tutored children in creative and non-fiction writing. I have also tutored children with dyslexia using the Barton System. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a te

I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student to fully experience their potential. Therefore, I gladly provide each student with information that will give them the opportunity to produce better study habits and test taking abilities. I believe using these tools will provide students with a life long learning advantage that will follow them through all aspects of their lives. As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles.

I feel that my largest teaching strength is the ability to identify where students are having problems and address those issues first. If students don't understand the fundamentals, it is impossible to teach them advanced concepts. In addition to this, being able to identify the students learning style and teach to them personally is something I am skilled at. I tend to connect with my students and am proud to be involved with their success. In High School I discovered that not only was I skilled in math and science, but that I was effective in tutoring other students in these subjects. I started professionally tutoring students younger than me when I was a junior and continued until I graduated college. I successfully tutored students in Algebra, Geometry/Trig, Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and SAT Prep. I have taught swimming and been a lifeguard through Americ

Having grown up in Costa Rica attending a bilingual school, I am fully fluent in English and Spanish, and tutored language learners often in high school and college. I received my B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was involved in the Science Education club, and assisted in several university and state-funded after-school programs for middle school students. After college I immediately went into a PhD program in Ecology & Evolution at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA, and taught undergraduate Genetics and Ecology labs for one year. I am currently working towards my bilingual Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Master's degree in Education. I believe in a student's capability to reach his or her goals, and find that students are much more rewarded through a learning experience in which they use their previous knowledge to arrive a

My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and it is my responsibility to understand the best method to help a student successfully learn. In addition to being patient, I am creative, courteous, composed, and an effective communicator. With my acute attention to detail and calm persistence, learning (specifically, writing) becomes less daunting, more tolerable, and even enjoyable. Anyone can learn if permitted to do so in a positive environment and with the proper tools; I enable such an experience as a knowledgeable and conscientious tutor. After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two

I first determine the student's level in each subject, and tutor accordingly. Since every person learns in a different way, I may try more than one approach until it is clear that the student is gaining an understanding of the subject matter. I am patient, positive, and encouraging. I find it very rewarding to help others. When I see the student learning and advancing, I share in their joy at overcoming a stumbling block, or accomplishing their goal. I am currently working as the Math Specialist at a K-8th school where I provide assistance to students who need extra help or are performing below grade level. I also work with students in 8th grade teaching Algebra to those who have the ability to learn at a faster pace than the class as a whole.
