My teaching style is relaxed, allowing ( and encouraging) more interaction with my students. I encourage my students to participate wholly, in the discussion.

I have taught Math, English, Science and other core courses in California public and private schools for 28 years. My students always enjoy learning with me because I teach application as well as theory. I show how and where the facts being learned can be employed. The more students are involved with the learning process the faster they internalize the material and the sharper, clearer will be their recall. My teaching style is a combination of TPR (Total Physical Response), Socratic and Discovery. I believe that involving the student's intellect and creativity is very valuable in arriving at their understanding of the material.

I worked for A and 1 tutoring last year while getting my degree. Helping high school juniors and seniors having trouble passing the High school exit exam. I tutored ESL students helping them read and write English. I would meet one to one basis at their homes for a hour and a half every day and I would help them with their homework, and then we would work on reading on a everyday basis, by having them write a journal for 20 minutes every day, and read passages from their workbook, and answer questions. I would also show them videos about what was their favorite thing to do, for example I had a student who like to draw, so I would find articles about drawing and he would read the article and tell me what is what about. We would read the article and he would tell me what word he would not understand, we would look up the meaning and I would explain what the word meant. I would have h

During my senior year in high school, I tutored and mentored at a program named AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). This program is designed to prepare students for college. My job was to help students with any subject they were having trouble with. Math was the most common subject that students needed help with the most. In high school I took geometry, algebra, and math analysis. Statistics is my highest level of college math. I believe that with my experience and knowledge in math I can be a successful math tutor. I sit with students and ask them what they are having trouble with. I will then explain to them and make it as clear as possible so they can understand better the subject they are having trouble with. Once done with my explanation, I will have them work out problems to show me they really understand the subject. It is very important to be patient with every stude

I love math so I truly enjoy helping children to discover the world of math and to be fearless at them. I am patient, easy going but at the same time firm to teach. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. During all my time as a student I tried to help my classmates to improve their learning and their grades by tutoring them. I have earned a bachelor degree in Industrial Engineer, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and physics. I am a Spanish native speaker, so I can help students in this language too.

I began teaching and coaching swimming in 1980. In 1984, I extended my teaching experience by volunteering for the Eagle Mount program as a downhill ski instructor for students with several disabilities. At this time I decided to pursue a degree in education, which I completed in 1985. I was hired by the Crane District in Yuma, Arizona in January of 1986 and transferred to the Yuma Union High School District in the Fall. I have taught science and coached swimming since that time. I am Certified in the State of Arizona to teach biology, chemistry and earth science. Through out my career I have taught 14 different science and technology courses. Learners need to obtain information from a variety of stimuli to fully understand a concept. What is successful for one student may not work for an other. Therefore, I try to present each topic in several different ways. For example, on a recent

I love teaching because it allows me to connect with youth. I find them very humorous. Some work hard, while others not so much, but either way, a teacher can learn so much from their student. Working in educatuion is a challenge I enjoy, especially when I see how well a student progresses. I hope to be able to continue to make a differnce in a young person's life and be a positive influence on them. In May of 2004 I graduated from a small liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington. I majored in English with an emphasis in writing. The writing curriculum I followed consisted of writing personal essays, articles, short fiction and even writing for children. Additionally, I wrote several research reports. Research for my Masters Degree required a lengthy detailed dissertation which turned out to consist of four chapters and about forty pages. I have had to practice my grammar,
