Spanish Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Graton, CA

I´m a Spaniard girl living in Sonoma County for 2 months now. I love Spanish and I could help students or people interested in learning. I studied Telecommunications in Spain for 3 years, but my true passion is languages in general. I have never taught people to speak Spanish, but I have clear ideas how to teach, where to begin, cos is how I learned English, and I think is working great. In my high school I used to study English, Latin, Greek and Catalonian (one language we speak in the east of the peninsula which I could speak and write too). English has been always my fave language and I began so young to be interested in everything about English.

I' ve been working for about 18 years with students from Kindergarten through 12 grade in the Petaluma Schools District in the city of Petaluma, California. I've had experience teaching English as a second language and tutoring experience teaching math, language and science.

Nowadays, I am working at the High School level tutoring students in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Science and English. According to the need of the student, some students are fast learning, some are slow, this is very important taking in consideration because my philosophy is that "Everybody is able to learn", we just have different learning styles.

Many of my previous jobs have surrounded helping others. Whether that was through tutoring and teaching or customer service. Growing up I also tutored my younger sister and my cousin who has a learning disability. I have always been passionate about helping others, especially through education. Currently, I am pursuing a major in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley in hopes of becoming a teacher for K-12 students and eventually a college professor.

I have a diverse field of experience. I received a dual B.A. in Linguistics and Anthropology in 2006. This allows me to understand language tutoring at a deeper level than most tutors. This foundation has been augmented by 5 years of teaching experience in ESOL, History, Academic Writing, and Professional interview training which I have conducted all over the world. In 2009, I received my MA in applied linguistics. This degree worked as a capstone to perfect my teaching style in regards to ESL. I try to foster independent learners. If the pupil is perpetually dependent on the teacher, then nothing is gained- money and efforts are wasted. My techniques push students to acquire the skills and tools they need on their own. Everyone can aspire to this level of sucess if they try. I look forward to making a difference in your life, with your help.

As a lifelong learner, I'm always motivated by students who have a curiosity for improving their own skills. I have a BA in liberal arts from Vassar College and a MS in Education from Queens College, which I earned through the full-time work/part-time study New York City Teaching Fellowship. I am fluent in Spanish, conversant in Japanese and French, and am always excited about learning more languages. As a special education teacher, I've worked with large classrooms, team taught with colleagues, and overseen the development of children with more severe disabilities in reading, writing, and math. I believe that education should be tailored to the needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student. I believe in consistent positive reinforcement and praise, and in tracking and measuring skills so that students have evidence of their progress. I hope to help students discover the intrinsi

As a ski instructor, I've worked with children aged 3 - 12. Parents frequently praised my patience and ability to remain a calm, controlled and enthusiastic teacher. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and that a good teacher must always remain receptive to his student's needs and interests. Students should have an interest in the subject and learning should follow from their character. Often times, we are overwhelmed by the expectations put upon us and we need only see our accomplishments within a perspective that incorporates our progress since we've begun. Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched crime

During my undergrad studies, I began tutoring with children (usually 1-2 at a time) from pre-school age with phonics and sight reading until the present time with reading, writing, math, science and history. I have also worked in a private girls school as an After School Study Hall teacher for Grades 5-8 and presently I am a Substitute teacher for Grades K-6 in a self-contained classroom. I enjoy teaching children of all ages. Being a tutor and substitute teacher has provided me the opportunity to see so much growth and potential that children have. I believe everyone has opportunity to do their best and I always stay positive to encourage them to try. If a child is about to give up trying, I encourage them to take a short break, then try again. I tell them, "practice makes perfect." Never give up before you try something new.

My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skills concerning literary forms: folklore, poetry, short story, photography, personal essay, analytical essay. My two years of high school Spanish, one year of College French, and completion of breadth college requirements provide a slight ability for me to tutor Spanish and French language, computer navigation, basic algebraic math, and basic social studies. During the last three years I tutored ESL, reading, and Astronomy at Chaffey College, overlooked K-12 after-school P.E. programs with the Boys and Girls Club, and facilitated a course in wheelchair basketball and disability at UC Berkeley. I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse

I have spent over ten years in the classroom teaching English Comprehension, Literature, Writing and Spelling to students in middle school. I have also worked extensively with struggling readers grades 4-12, and with English Language Learners. I have supervised summer school programs, led peer-tutoring groups, and run a school newspaper. I currently volunteer as a liaison between my school district and my city, sit on the board of a local parenting group with over 500 members, and am very involved in preschool and kindergarten reading, writing and math. I enjoy working with students of all ages and at all levels! It is my goal to provide support for all students striving to learn the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to become lifelong learners. I believe that the teacher and the curriculum must inspire the passion and power to make positive choices throughout life; educatio

I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn, but each in a different way. I am available to help your child be successful in academics. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe every child can meet his or her potential if he or she is given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few inspired educators can make a big difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a Harvard College graduate, I was always driven to excellence in education. I have earned a Master of Business Administration and a certificate of completion of a Single Subject Credential for the state of California. I have spent the last eight years teaching math and science in Contra Costa County middle and high schools. I taught Algebra

I have graduated with a B.A. in Literature/Writing from UC San Diego. During my time there, I participated in a rigorous research program called McNair Scholars. I am very confident with my command of the English language. I was a Math/Reading tutor in San Diego elementary schools for two years and in the Bay Area, I have served as a high school English TA and an after school kindergarten instructor. I have experience managing a classroom and facilitating workshop groups but I most enjoy one-on-one tutor. I enjoy the challenge of explaining a difficult concept, whether it be Math or techniques to approach a thesis, and that feeling of making a difference in a child's thinking. I am a very committed individual in the way that I carry out larger scope goals and small tasks, and so I will do what it takes to help a child understand something he/she is puzzled about.
