More About This Tutor...

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results.
This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

I taught for twenty five years in the Philippines. As a teacher I have had various experiences most especially in the teaching of English to students both in the Elementary and High School. I taught English as a Second Language to Koreans, Japanese and Chinese students in an International School in the Philippines. I am very active in extra curricular activities mostly in Language Arts. I also have had experiences in mentoring teachers. I also have had a three year tutoring experiences in a Korean Center for Language Arts back in the Philippines.
I believe in the different teaching and learning styles. I believe in Multiple Intelligences thus a student has his own learning styles and intelligence and that you teach having in mind the students' intelligences. I believe in varying your learning styles. i believe that the child is the center of the learning process. I believe in goals ... read more
