I have studied social sciences and social studies for quite a while. I have been a tutor for over four years. I enjoy tutoring and teaching a variety of subjects to whoever wants to learn. Learning for the sake of learning is one of the most important things I have learned in college and that is how I apply myself to tutoring. School should not be about just memorization; it should be about learning for the sake of learning. I tutor not for facts, but for concepts and how everything fits into the "big picture."

I am enrolled in the UCLA Certificate of College Counseling Program. My speciality is assisting students in finding their unique voice in the college application process. My students have been accepted at Stanford University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Occidental College,and Denison University. "Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." This quote by William Butler Yeats summarizes my philosophy of education. I love seeing students become excited about learning and becoming self-directed learners. Oftentimes, this means that the student takes the lead and I am there mainly to provide encouragement and

My experiences in working with children extended as a student in college, when I started volunteering in After School Programs, first starting at Parlier High School in Parlier Unified School District. I tutored students and directed review sessions for students who needed to take the California High School Exit Exam. I also provided extra curricular activities for students who were done with their homework. I continued to volunteer in the After School Program at Terronez Middle School in Fresno Unified School District. My duties were very similar as they were in Parlier High School. I began the Credential Program through California State University, Fresno during the summer, working with 5th grade students at Washington Academic Middle School in Sanger Unified School District. My intermediate student teaching was done at Madison Elementary in a 3rd grade classroom. My final student

Teachers are the core of creating well-rounded educated future voting citizens in the United States. As a result, I believe it is the responsibility of every instructor to understand that the purpose behind educating every student is determined by proving equal access. In addition, instructors must acknowledge the responsibilities mandated by the profession such as meeting the needs of a diverse learning community. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to meet the needs mentioned above to my fullest potential in order to develop healthy, well-rounded future voting citizens. As a California State University Fresno graduate, I am very committed and compasionate in helping students advance their literacy skills. I earned my bachelor degree in History at Fresno State and currently in the single subject social science credential program. During the past two years, I have been a subst

My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and helpful, but never intimidating. My style works best with high school students, who describe me as approachable, yet structured. I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and researchin

Since I'm not a teacher and don't follow a schedule or have designated hours, I feel like I can be a lot more patient and easy going with students. I'd like to pride myself in how well I can take a complex idea and break it down into its sub-parts and explain it simplistically. While in a class, students may not get the attention they require, which is why I like working one on one or in small groups as that way I can get a feel of what each student needs to meet his/her potential. As long as I could remember academics have come quite easily to me, from elementary school to current classes in college. Prior to this year I've only helped out my sister extensively as she has had problems understanding most teacher's methods. I understand nearly every aspect of math up to Algebra II along with most English, philosophy, and psychology classes and have helped people that I shared a class with

For me, relating to children is effortless; I am quite apt to quickly gaining their attention as well as their confidence. Sadly, many students face the challenge of losing focus; as a teacher, I hope to be able to instill unwavering motivation and drive into each student, and help shape their characters that is essential in fulfilling a rewarding life as they enter into adulthood. All it takes is an influential mentor who is willing to put in 110 percent long after school hours are over. Educators should not only teach, but also still strive to continue to expand their own knowledge in order to exemplify to our students the importance of opening one's mind and broadening one's perspectives. My experience with teaching began in 2004 as a volunteer for William Saroyan Elementary School in Fresno, CA.

I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Communication and a Minor in Bible. I worked as a television and radio writer before earning two single subject credentials, one in English and one in Social Science. I am in my fifth year teaching at a unique charter high school. At my school, I work one on one with my students. I have become quite adept at creating rapport. Some students come to my school because they are highly gifted and want to graduate at an accelerated pace, while some of my students are years behind their grade level. I have helped many students graduate and move to college. My main expertise is in writing, Language Arts and Social Science. My five years of teaching has reinforced my belief that all students are capable of learning. I believe that learning is one part effort and one part technique. If a person is willing, they can, and will, learn. It is my job to teach

As a student and professional tutor, I have always believed education and enrichment are crucial to the advancement of the individual and society. Earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology has provided me with knowledge in cognition and development. Additionally, I have comprehensive knowledge in English and language arts due to writing a great deal of research reports throughout my college career. I have tutored high school students in a wide range of subjects including algebra and biology. Lastly, I have acquired six months experience in the in-home setting. I derive a great sense of satisfaction from helping another person “get it”. I firmly believe all people are capable of achieving their full potential if provided with enrichment and a supportive environment. I tailor my tutoring to each unique learning style, and use the Socratic method of question and answer to help the student a

My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach a child to reason will enable him to learn any subject at any age. During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up

I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skills in Spanish Language and Literature, Englih Literature, math (geometry and algebra) and science (physics, human physiology, and biology). In the past I have tutored these subjects for five years. I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust in whi
