I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

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 ... read more

Practice makes progress.

I have coached baseball for youth camps and would like to extend my teaching and motivational skills into the educational fields. I played baseball in high school as well as a year in college at CSU Monterey Bay where we held youth camps. I have volunteered in the community and enjoy working with groups of people and on individual basis as well.
I stress drive and repetition.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with students of all ages. As a teacher, there is nothing greater than to see my students succeed. I am more results-oriented and I encourage students to work persistently until they have accomplished their goals. I am friendly, patient, and easy going. Although I push my students to work hard, I also like to have fun and make the learning experience enjoyable as well.
I have a very diverse background and I have many years of experience teaching in different subjects. I was an English teacher for one year in Korea, teaching children at a public school. I have taught fine art at a private school in Salinas. I have also been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 10 years. I have worked with children as young as 4, to adults in their senior years. I hold a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing from San Jose State and I graduated with honors.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a key believer that education helps a child flourish throughout life. I am patient, laid back, and sincere and want to do all that I can to make sure that a child understands the subject at hand.
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.

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 is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient.
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 sol ... read more

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. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning.
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 stu ... read more

I enjoy working with students, regardless of their age or capabilities. I am a patient and understanding individual who strives to provide what students need to succeed. My method revolves around helping students find their own voice, to question and think for themselves, and to guide them in discovering and making decisions of their very own. Individuality is key for success in a students' education. I also incorporate the prior knowledge and background experiences students have to further their understanding of the world around them, as well as their education.
I currently hold a BA in Human Communication with a concentration in the Single Subject Waiver in English, which has provided me with the experience necessary to tutor in reading, writing, literature, and technology.

What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and English composition. Regarding my 13 years of professional teaching experience, I have taught at the university, community college, and adult education levels. The courses I have designed and taught range from all levels of English as a Second Language to graduate technical writing and editing.
I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed men ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am very passionate about teaching. I want to do it for the rest of my life so it is something that I enjoy. I love working with children and teenagers. I want to be an inspiration to my students. I want to motivate them to love learning and to find subjects that interest them. I like to teach through discussion and interaction because I believe that the best way to learn something is to analyze it yourself. In this way children and teenagers can learn and can, possibly, find a deeper meaning in what they are doing and as a result enjoy it. I also try to motivate my students to take control of their own education, to think critically, and to feel better about themselves through learning.
I am currently working towards my BA in Humanities at San Jose State University. After I complete my BA I will enroll in a program to get my teaching credential in language arts. I have wr ... read more

In addition to earning a B.A in English from Asbury College, I have had several years experience writing articles (paid) as well as writing a book. I also worked as the writer/editor for the website content of a local tech company.
I generally read what a student writes, then suggest better and smoother ways of saying the same thing. I also like to eliminate as much unnecessary words as possible. Of course I also point out errors in punctuation and spelling.

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 at conclusions, versus having someone show them the correct answers. I believe in the interconnectedness of academics and life outside of school, and try to incorporate relevant meaning into educational content. I am patient, and able to adequately address student needs, weaknesses, and strength. Most importantly to long-term success, though, I am encouraging and positive, and love helping students realize their own potential.
