My diverse educational and professional background has enabled me to be able to apply very practical applications to seemingly comlex mathmatical learning steps.

My journalism experience, coupled with a strong business acumen and a Certified Financial Planner designation affords me a vast tool kit from which relate to my students.

The foundation of my philosophical approach to teaching is that every student can learn. With that theory in mind, practice in the field of teaching has also shown me that actual acquisition of knowledge is a direct function of teacher effectiveness, student motivation, and student support. My style of teaching can best be described as student-centered. Every student learns differently. It is the teacher's responsibility to: 1. Adapt curriculum and lesson planning to the individual needs of all students; 2. Use student assessment as a guide to assessing teacher effectiveness; and 3. Evaluate teaching methods to find ways to re-teach the content. I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, TESOL Certificate, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, Elementary Education. I have taught elementary, university composition, and working adult students. I have also participated i

I love to teach with all my heart. I enjoy teaching children, teenagers, and adults and having the feeling that they were able to learn something new. Plato once stated, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.” If children start out with a solid education, it sets them on a course for success. I believe that all students have the potential to become great, with a little help from the people around them. I am patient and nurturing and I hope that i will become a good role model for my students, drawing out the potential they naturally have inside of themselves. I attended private school throughout high school, and benefitted from a smaller group environment and a more focused academic career. When entering college, I enjoyed all areas of academics, especially English and Psychology and have always had a high motivation for success. I have e

Kids need to feel comfortable and safe with the person who is working with them in order to relax and just try. I start where the student is and help move forward form there. I will repeat, show, explain in different ways, and validate the student's progress as many times as it takes. I can recognize the teaching moments, and I identify the missing pieces that will turn the light on for the key concepts. I love working with all ages, including adult learners and persons with disabilities. I became a Teacher as a second career after working in the field of psychology/counseling. Because of my background, I decided to become cridentialed in Special Education. I have taught RSP English and basic math for 7 years. I enjoy breaking the concepts of reading and writing down to the easiest basic steps. I am trained in teaching elementry reading skills, as well as teaching students how to

I use Socratic questioning strategies and experiential learning to ensure that students understand why a concept applies rather than just memorizing formulas. I use manipulatives and visual aids to ensure that multiple modalities are integrated. I work with the whole student as a person, identifying how the student learns and teaching the student how to adapt various teaching styles to his/her learning style. I have 9 years of experience teaching high school; all courses - AP Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra 2, geometry, algebra, pre-algebra (including special needs and english learners), and practical applications. Over the last 20 years, I have tutored students in all of the above subjects as well as elementary math concepts, writing strategies, and reading recovery.

Everyone can learn; and everyone deserves the opportunity to learn whatever he or she needs to successfully achieve his or her highest personal, social, and educational goals. Every learner is unique and deserves learning situations tailored to activate and engage their unique background and learning style. In addition, everyone has an innate desire to learn and the goal of education is to engage this desire for learning in ways that are personally relevant to each individual learner. When students are expected to learn and engaged with their innate desire to learn through differentiated instruction that meets their individual learning style, they will live up to the expectations presented to them. I have worked variously as a technical writer and editor, substitute teacher, and computer technician, but always returned to teaching. I possess a single subject credential in English, and I

I have over 10 years of experience as a substitute teacher and a regular full time classroom teacher. My first position was teaching Japanese Language to middle school students in Salinas. These were for the most part first generation Americans of Hispanic background. I also taught hands on science at a private school where the children were mostly from India or Asia. I also taught reading in an after school program for students who were reading slightly below grade level. I created all of my own materials. STAR test results showed that my students did improve enough to be at grade level or above. They just needed extra help and attention. I believe that each child is an empty page in a book. Teachers must provide information to help fill up that page. It is my job to see that each child reaches their true potential. I realize that each child learns in different ways. I br

My teaching style is “whatever it takes” to help your child become successful. If your child is a hands-on type child, we will work with manipulatives. If your child works best through physical activity, I will find ways to reach him/her kinesthetically. If your child is a visual learner, I will have him/her do activities which stimulate his/her visual senses. In other words, my teaching style is adaptable to your child’s learning style. I will discover what works best for your child and work on ways to reach him/her. I believe that under the right circumstances, any child is capable of learning. I challenge myself in finding ways to help children learn, and I enjoy every minute of it. I am a graduate of Azusa Pacific University where I studied human development in my Bachelor’s program, and education in my Master’s program. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors; a GPA of 3.88.

My BA degree in General Studies: Humanities/Fine & Performing Arts gives me a broad base in general education, allowing me to be better able to help young students in their scholastic endeavors. Through various classes, I have gained an intimate understanding of reading and the writing process. I also have a strong base in general mathematics and science, and have worked with young students in these areas with good results. In seven years of working with children in the capacity of a Teacher’s Aide, a tutor, and a Sunday School Teacher, I have learned to work within the student’s individual style of learning. I love working with children and helping them discover the world around them. Every child is capable of learning, but in his or her own way, and the key is find what works best for each one. I am patient, considerate, and kind, treating each child as I like to be treated. I tr
