I began teaching at Hesperia Christian in 1995.

Studying French from 3rd grade through college back East and having friends who are French here in California has allowed me to remember the basics for the last thirty years. I enjoy seeing children discover the world around them in their own ways. Therefore, I teach the importance of working things out until you understand it for yourself. Childre

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children have the capacity to learn with patience, perseverance, and if appropriate methods are applied. I am patient, easy going, and considerate of others. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I am currently pursing a single-subject teaching credential in Business and Economics. I have dedicated my time over the past twelve years to community service, particularly with children and young adults. As a Model Coordinator for Pure Fashion, a Catholic-based program sponsored by Regnum Christi, I assisted in the development of seventy Pure Fashion models, ranging in age from 14 to 18, to become confident and competent leaders in their communities guided by faith and with respect for human

My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used in the Operant Conditioning model. As a Teacher Assistant, I have the responsibilities of setting goals, creating objectives for weekly sessions, and tracking and recording weekly progress. Such goals include, increasing expressive communication, decreasing specific inappropriate behaviors unique to each child, and improving academic skills such as reading, mathematics, and problem solving. Through out my work with children diagnosed with autism I have learned and implemented B.F. Skinner's Operent Conditioning model. Although punishment is in the model, my specific teaching style only includes reinforcem

I am a very one on one type of person. I want to make sure the child understands on their level of thinking, which might mean using what they use on a daily basis to explain clearer. Depending on the age of the child and what subject that needs to be taught will depend on which way I will attack the situation. Over the past 4 years, I've worked at the Colton Community services recreatioon depatrment. As an employee I've worked in Drop-In Recreation, in which I provide my assistance in helping the children do homework and tutor them as they needed. fot the past year and a half, we've started a new program called Homework help, which is to focus more on helping the students one on one with homwwork, reading, math, projects, etc. I am currently working on getting my AA in Child Devolpment to continue my drive to become a teacher.

I have a BA in History and am pursuing a teaching credential in elementary education. I work as a instructional aide to an autistic boy in a mainstream first grade classroom. In addition to assisting him in all his classwork I also help all the other students in all elementary subjects. We do language arts, reading, math, science, and social studies lessons everyday and I am very comfortable helping children understand all of these subjects. I love working with elementary children and seeing their faces light up when they grasp a new concept. I am patient and understanding of each individual's learning pace and enjoy an interactive approach to learning. I have had the great opportunity to work with a special needs child as well as mainstream students which has given me the skills to be able cater to the needs of both.

I have a funny sense of humor and an easy-going nature that make me very approachable to children. I am passionate about educating children and I believe that every child has a unique way of learning and possesses unique talents. I am able to build a rapport with students and I believe that learning should be fun! Students learn in different ways, so I find the way a child learns best and I consistently teach them that way. Children need to be praised to feel they are doing well. This will keep them on the road to a bright future! I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English with writing emphasis from La Sierra University in 2005. I have professionally tutored/taught students for over 5 years in the areas of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, study skills, and music. I have taught students ages 4-19.

I am flexible and patient; helping students to learn is my priority. I believe that tutoring offers an ideal relationship with the student where their specific needs and learning styles can be addressed. I feel that it is important to connect to a student's interests and imagination. To accomplish this it is necessary to teach with interest and imagination. I don't accept anything less from myself. I graduated Magna Cum-Laude from Ramapo College with a BA in English and a minor in history. Afterwards, I traveled around the world teaching. Currently I am tutoring in California, passing on my love and knowledge of the English language, literature, and other subjects to students. In addition to my background in the Humanities, I have taken several semesters of Math and Science courses. I have been tutoring students since I was employed by Ramapo and over the years have taught many differ

In addition to B.A. degrees in Mathematics and Psychology, I have experience as a Software Engineer, a Pharmacy Technician, and a Professional Musician. I have tutored children from ages 14 to 18 in English, Mathematics, History, and Music over a period of two years. I have provided them with an excellent role model for dealing with friends, teachers, employers, and other social contacts in the future. My teaching style is totally interactive. I plan each lesson before initiating it with the student. I first inform the student what will be covered in the lesson, and then question him or her to determine background knowledge and capability. At each step of the lesson, after presenting the material, I ask the student questions to determine the resultant level of understanding, and after the lesson is completed, I give a test to document the results. I keep a diary of the interactions

I am now a permanent resident of California and want to include tutoring as a rewarding and productive part of my life again. Always presenting my classes with enthusiasm, passion and compassion, I take a genuine interest in each of my students and believe that every child has something to offer and gain from being a part of my class. I'm expressive, supportive, friendly and fun but also strong and reliable.

As a teacher for the last 6 years, and a student for the last 22, I’ve been blessed to know and learn from many amazing teachers and students-in fact, I have been inspired by them. I’ve gleaned various teaching techniques for all types of learners, gained knowledge in various subject areas, and have had the privilege to teach what I’ve learned to others. For four years, I taught English, math, study skills and science in a classroom setting. For the last 2, I’ve taught English to adult English language learners and tutored children and teens in various subject areas. In the near future, I will also be taking classes to help students with Dyslexia. I absolutely enjoy teaching and love working with children, teens and adults! I believe that all students learn in their own way, so I’m committed to getting to know each student-their strengths, likes, dislikes, interests, and learning s

I try to use something that the student can relate to. I try to start with the basics and work up to find out where the student might be needing help. I am patient and enjoy knowing that I can help someone excel. Education has always been important to me and I look forward to encouraging that same attitude in others. I would like to give back to the community and I truly get enjoyment from helping others. I have worked at the Santa Ana School District for eight years. I have supervised our tutoring department and also tutored students during those eight years. Prior to working at Santa Ana School District, I volunteered and tutored students in Algebra. I am currently enrolled in college to complete my Bachelor's degree. I feel that my education is an asset and will be complimentary to any tutoring program.

We play word games, read out loud, discuss cartoons and ask each other questions/answers. Try to vary up the hour. I am a very patient teacher and try to assess if the student is understanding all that I am teaching. I ask plenty of questions and try to get them to communicate with me and others in the group, if it's a class situation. I taught English as a second language to adults and children in Austria and Germany while living there (total 4 years). I speak fluent German and lived in Europe for a total of 13 years. In LA, I taught english to a number of Korean and Japanese young adults. I taught at Inlingua and WIFI Institute in Austria and at a business english school in Hamburg.
