Italian or English Grammar and Conversation Expert

I have a Bachelor's Degree and Single Subject Secondary credential in Italian. I have tutored hundreds of students, from beginners to advanced, over the past 15 years. Since Italian is not my native language, I am especially adept at helping speakers of English approach Italian as a second language. I am native English speaking, fluent Italian, spoken and written.
Over the past 20 years, I have taught Italian to students of all ages and backgrounds. I have a Bachelor's degree in Italian and a secondary teaching credential from San Francisco State University. I love to help students gain an understanding of Italian grammar from an English-speaking point of view, or improve conversational ability for an upcoming trip. I am expert in English grammar as well, and have been published multiple times in local magazines, so I can help students of English with all grammar and writing qu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a tutor, I know I will be responsible for teaching, tutoring, and offering assistance on various math assignments and test preparations to students. I have worked with students both privately and in group sessions. I am a very patient person, friendly, and optimistic. I truly believe that I can make a difference in a student's life because I have experienced it before. When I was a peer math tutor, I found it to be so rewarding to be able to help a student get through a difficult course with my assistance and encouragement. I look forward to experiencing these rewards again as a tutor with this program.
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 g ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

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

More About This Tutor...

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 me to gain knowledge about the basic maths and sciences as well as about people. Moreover, through my college experience, I have extremely sufficient grammatical skills due to the numerous research papers I have written. Since high school, I have mentored 4th and 5th grade students in reading and math, taught Girl Scouts life skills, and assisted many peers in studying the areas of communication disorders and psychology.
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 under ... read more

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.
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.

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. During my years at this university, I took classes to work in the elementary school setting and as a result, have observed and participated in various elementary school settings from Kindergarten through the 5th grade. While I was there, I also helped tutor a special needs student who was in ... read more

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 exceedingly familiar with classroom settings and the professionalism that comes with it. I also have accumulated plentiful hours of observations in different classrooms, along with many hours of volunteer help in numerous elementary and preschool classrooms. Within this past year I have done extensive studying for the CSET exam, this studying has furthered my understanding of the elementary educational testing.

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.

Además, di pláticas a trabajadores agrícolas en como evitar el abuso del tabáco. Let's work together.

I am a recent graduate of California State University San Bernardino. I have a BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. In my previous jobs I have been quickly promoted to a trainer because of my desire to teach. I am enrolled in a credential program through CSUF. In this program I am learning how to be an effective teacher. I feel that I would be an excellent tutor for students because the program I am currently involved in has an extremely rigorous curriculum. I am in the classroom for student teaching once a week, and I am also an on-call substitute teacher. I have worked with a wide range of students including kindergarteners through eighth graders.

Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as others can pick up new material orally. I also believe it is important for me as an educator to connect with the students in way that each student feels that you understand them. Many students lack self esteem and confidence when it comes to their learning abilities and I am there to help them believe in themselves in order to produce successful work. My background as a bilingual educator has helped me to consistently be culturally sensitive in the classroom environment as well as within the community.
