More About This Tutor...

During my own college career, I have attained experience working with students as a tutor, teacher's assistant, and peer. I have always enjoyed working with students and feel that my work and coursework experience has adequately prepared me for this position. As a recent graduate from UCLA,I have taken mathematics courses ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, including Statistics. My degree from UCLA was in Biology and so I am very comfortable working as a science tutor. I also have one year’s experience as a peer math tutor for San Bernardino Valley College and I was also a part of a year-long program at UCLA called California Teach, where I was able to work as a teacher's assistant for elementary, junior high, and high school levels.
As a tutor, I know I will be responsible for teaching, tutoring, and offering assistance on various math assignments and test preparations to s ... read more

My first tutoring experience was in high school, assisting other students in Algebra. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BS in Computer Science. After college I worked at an insurance company as an IT Training Advisor. My primary responsibility was to train new software developers on the technologies and best practices used at our company. I also worked at a Medical Device company as a Business Analyst. This position included developing training materials, and delivering training to end users of the software my group developed. After college I also served for ten years as a volunteer Math tutor for adult GED students. I also spent a year tutoring a 3rd grade student in Math and English.
I believe that a big part of teaching is listening and observing. Not every student learns the same way, so it is important to be patient and try to un ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient teacher and meet students on their level, speak and relate to them with respect and love---and teach them according to their needs and skill levels. If a student is difficult to work with, I will not hesitate to steer off the subject path for a few minutes to discuss something that interests them--this gains their respect and creates a bond with the student--then I steer us back to the subject at hand. I am a very flexible home-teacher and I meet students exactly where they are at in terms of learning styles, intelligence, patience. etc.
I have 10 years experience with Morongo unified School district as a substitute teacher, a student teacher, and now a home teacher. I have spent 7 years as a home teacher--all grade levels--all major subjects. I work with students that are expelled or suspended or have a mediacl condition that prevents them from attending publi ... read more

I greatly enjoy working with people of all ages and education levels. I believe all children can and want to be educated; unfortunately school teachers do not have the time to decipher the unique way in which each of their students' learns. Alas this does not allow every child to reach their full potential. I am patient, considerate, and through my education have learned the many ways that individuals learn and how to work with each kind of learner. I believe all children can meet their full capabilities with the proper learning experiences and proper learning techniques.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students understand. My teaching style is hands on and provides visual and verbal information. I like to provide numerous examples and practice problems. I strongly believe that a student must take the initiative to practice outside of the classroom or tutoring session to really grasp the information and promote parent involvement. I strive to be an educator who makes a difference in the achievement level of the students that I assist.
As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed ... read more

I spent 2 years tutoring Math for the students in my Mothers classroom afterschool (4th grade). I spent one year in college working with special needs students from the local elementary school, which included writing lesson plans and executing activities in group form. I taught one year of 7th grade Health and Physical Education. I tutored all the students at the end of the year to help them achieve passing scores on End Of Grade testing.
I do not like to teach out of textbooks. I use them primarily as resources. I prefer to create a lesson or activity that plays to the strengths of the individual child/student and challenges them on their particular level. I have found interactive lessons are very effective for all age ranges.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all children can learn if they are motivated to do so. Therefore, I believe that the best way to teach a child is to do it in a way that will allow them to take the initiative in their own learning. I want the children to enjoy learning through discovery of the material in their own unique way (not how I want them to learn). I firmly believe in Howard Gardner's theories of multiple intelligences which states that everybody has their own way of learning whether it's visual, auditory, kinesthetic etc...
I currently have a BA in Liberal Studies (Education) from Cal-State Northridge.

I truly believe that children are the future and I teach and treat them according to that. Teaching with Understanding is the primary goal that I have. Through my own experience I have learned that every child learns and understands differently and it is my job to teach them accordingly. I am always looking for new, inventive and effective ways of teaching. I have great patience, and a good listener; which I personally feel is important when teaching a child, I feel by listening to a child a teacher can discover the child’s uniqueness and apply their teaching to that. I am very devoted to what I do and would provide my all to your students.
Education has been my passion and dream for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I followed my dream and graduated from Cal State California with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies and a concentration in History. Due to my education I am e ... read more

I am a firm believer that the science subjects are not as difficult as many students are afraid they are. In my past tutoring experiences I like to allow the student to explain to me in their terms their understanding of the subject. I then fill in the gaps or revise their understanding. I am very patient and easy going person. I love the sciences. Helping someone to understand and seeing the glint in their eyes when they finally get it is why I love tutoring.
I am a graduate of Virginia Tech with a BS in Biology with a concentration in microbiology. I also have minors in leadership and Chemistry. Therefore my understanding of the sciences and basic mathematics is quite extensive.

I believe in you, and I believe in our ability to work together. Finding the right way to connect with my students is an exciting challenge. My students have included preschoolers to senior citizens, third world farmers to education professionals. Learning should be structured. Learning should be fun. Whenever appropriate, I use games and activities. Hablo Español. Escribí un manuál sobre conservación de los recursos naturales. Además, di pláticas a trabajadores agrícolas en como evitar el abuso del tabáco. Let's work together.

I am a very kind hearted person who believes every child can learn. I am patient and caring and I believe in positive reassurance as a way to encourage learning. I have found that the most important aspect of teaching is to inspire the student by setting an example. I find this especially appealing because I feel that it is important for a student to want to learn. I strive to not exclude any child or prevent learning in any way. I want to help children find the best way for them to learn based on their specific capabilities. I want my students to gain independence and be able to enjoy learning. I can make a difference in a child’s life by being an exceptional influence as well as a knowledgeable educator.

As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacities from the preschool environment to the K-12 level, including working with students with developmental disabilities. Last school year I worked tutoring students who produced low test scores in order to help them raise their achievement test scores. I really enjoyed watching the students raise their comprehension skills in various areas such as; math, language arts, reading, phonics, etc. I believe my extensive background working with the youth of today would make me a great candidate to join your company!
