My goal when working with students is to fully describe the steps necessary to solving various classes of problems, often in an outline form, for it is in learning these steps that a student becomes an independent learner. I like to work through as many examples as the student needs, gradually working them into the problem-solving process, until they are able to work a few completely on their own, or, in some way, demonstrate understanding of the material. Of course, this method is a little easier to employ in one on one tutoring sessions, but even with my work in the classroom, I feel student participation is crucial to the learning environment.
While in college (1988-1994), I worked as a grader in the math department, with a goal of providing useful feedback to the students. I also began working as a tutor at Austin Community College (ACC) in their free learning labs at this ... read more

My techniques will be customized to the subject and student population. One of the techniques: I will use exercises and team involvement as additional tools for re-enforcement and opportunity of exchange, so that team spirit and creative opportunities can be encouraged and explored. Students will notice how genuine my interest in education is, as I am an avid learner myself. I will also create an environment of comfort, exchanges, and suggestions. Where the subject materials and school policies allow, I may introduce additional techniques and suggestions.
I have received rigorous instruction as to punctuation, grammar, syntax, and composition rules since my years of mandatory education. The knowledge and application of the same have expanded thanks to the years spent in college and at the university, where I have also had to use the notions in order to effectively communicat ... read more

I have taught language arts and reading in public and private charter schools for over 15 years. I also taught TOEFL in Mexico and Japan. While in Japan, I worked as a TOEFL instructor and also taught conversation classes, and GRE vocabulary and critical reasoning classes. I am currently creating state tests for Pearson in the area of reading and language arts. I have several years' experience working with special education students and hold a special ed certificate in addition to a life time language arts grade 7-12 certificate. I am eager to return to what I do best: teaching.
I enjoy working with students of all ages and am comfortable with elementary through post-graduate learners. I am particularly adept at teaching writing because I have focused my approach to grammar and reading skills around writing. I possess infinite patience and am sensitive to special learners. I believ ... read more
