I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun. I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.

I believe it is better to establish classroom guidelines first, and at the same time establish a good relationship with my students, to get through the work that the students need to do, then relax a bit to have fun with learning. I enjoy being in the classroom or tutoring one-on-one, and based on feedback from students, parents and other teachers, students enjoy working with me as well. I consider these testimonies proof I am an effective teacher and tutor. With 2 Masters Degrees in both business and education, and having taught different levels of mathematics for University of Phoenix Online for the past 3 years, I offer strong training background. Additionally, working for San Dieguito Unified HS District and La Jolla Country Day School as a substitute teacher for the past two years, I have learned to quickly develop rapport with middle and high school students.

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest. I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subje

I teach/train to the needs of the individual. It is important to tutor people in the way in which they are most comfortable. They learn faster, retain more, and enjoy what they are learning, which allows them to apply what they learn, rather than just memorizing data. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have a BA in International Business. I received 3.7 GPA from San Diego State University. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. I have 5+ years in Retail Management. This gives me excellent experience in teaching various skills. I have also worked in a juvenile detention facility, running group therapy sessions, and providing home economics training. This enables me to employ multiple teaching methods for many personalities. I have a lot of patience, and enjoy teaching. I love to travel, and I am enthusiastic about other languages and cultures, which I enjoy passi

I hold a K-12 Multiple Subjects credential with supplemental authorizations in math, physical science, and general science. I also have a BA in Psychology and I have taken many math and physics classes. I am also a published writer. For the past five years I have taught Algebra I and Physical Science at a charter school. I have also tutored Algebra II and Geometry as a mentor for students taking on-line courses. Although I do not have a credential to teach French, I am fairly fluent and I have taught beginning French for the past 4 years at the same charter school. I studied French in both high school and college and I travel to France almost every year. I am most proud of my ability to mitigate math anxiety. I think children learn best in a positive affective environment where they are encouraged to achieve at their highest potential. In math, the applications are often the dis

I have always tried to adjust my teaching style to the students with whom I am working while at the same time adhering to the curricula and guidelines of the institution for which I worked. I have successfully worked with students at the remedial level as well as those taking Advanced Placement courses. I am patient, clear and relatively concise. I have never tired of the feeling I get when I see that "light" come on in a student's face. In fact, that is the principle reason that I teach. Although my vocation for the past 38 years has been Software Engineering, my avocation has always been teaching. I financed my undergraduate education by tutoring one-on-one at the high school level for 3 years. During my career as a Software Engineer I sought out opportunities to teach part-time, evenings and weekends. I have the equivalent of about 7 years of full-time experience teaching High School,

My teaching style is one of mutual respect and learning. I believe strongly in the principle of guidance to allow the student to reach her/his highest potential. I value the individual, and make use of creative resources that are tailored to fit the needs of the student as a person. I also take into account the multiple learning styles of each individual. I value the exchange on a humanistic and holistic level. Over the years, I have been able to utilize my communication and interpersonal skills in my work with diverse student populations in various teaching and mentoring capacities, as well as liaising with parents, other teachers/administrators, and the public. I have also had the opportunity to work with and assess students with learning disabilities, as well as adults with developmental disabilities. I am sensitive to the nuances of working with the unique needs of an diverse youth a

I am a synthetic Organic Chemist with over 7 years of industrial experience with Pfizer Inc. During this time period I routinely shared research progress with my peers and helped educate them on new reactions, instrumentation, techniques and methodology. During my studies at Kalamazoo College, I successfully completed some coursework in Education and have always wanted to pursue a career in Teaching/Tutoring. My Liberal Arts background encouraged a well-rounded education that included English, Spanish, History, Science, Mathematics, and the Arts. I am a patient teacher that understands that some concepts are not easily understood and simply repeating yourself without changing your tack will not bring about understanding. Providing real world examples that are relevant to a student's interests is one powerful way to encourage learning. With regards to math and science, I've often fou

I love working with all level of students. I never give up on my students and expect them to never give up on themselves. Building confidence in learners is key to my educational approach, and I try my best to be aware of frustration levels. Everyone learns a different way, and I believe it is my job to figure out my students’ best learning style. My main effort in teaching goes to having my students fully understand the subject they are learning, and feel open enough to ask any questions. A good educational foundation opens up a world of opportunity. Since knowing I wanted to teach my junior year of high school, education has been my passion. I went on to Sonoma State University where I earned my BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Kinesiology (PE). I then went on to Cal State San Marcos to obtain my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Since having my credential I have had t

Instructed all physics laboratories at San Diego State University for calculus and non-calculus based physics courses. These courses included: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. Instructed a physics courses under the MESA program. Instructed optics courses to US Air Force depot personnel. With respect to my teaching style, I liken it to a series of books written by Isaac Asimov entitled, Understanding Physics. These books have little math but explain the physical concepts in a story-like fashion. I find this very important because many physics books and instructors put too much emphasis on the mathematics and not enough on conveying the physical concepts. The result is a student who is unable to solve physics problems. First, the student must know the physical concept which then enables them to apply the correct mathematics in order to solve the problem
