A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that all students can achieve academic success, even in their least favorite subjects. However, everyone learns in different ways with sundry motivations. Many students require some one on one time with a qualified teacher, who will both identify the student’s learning style and adapt their teaching style accordingly. I also believe that a student’s confidence in their abilities will play into their success. A skilled teacher will tailor lessons and feedback to build on skills a student does have, instilling confidence and encouraging the learner to meet the challenge of complex topics.
With over 17 years of teaching experience, I realize the impact that one on one tutoring can have on a student. My classroom experience includes secondary math and English, and my tutoring experience includes basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, algebra 2 with trigonometry, SAT prep ... read more

More About This Tutor...

It truly depends on the student and the subject. I try to adapt my teaching style to what the student needs. If one approach is not working, then we can work together to find an approach that does. I believe that it is important for the student to be able to relate to the teacher and it is the teachers job to create that connection.
Over the past 15 years I have had variety of different teaching experiences. I taught literature as a TA at UC Santa Barbara while studying for my Masters. I have tutored K-12 students in both Math and English. While studying for my undergraduate I assited in running a homeless shelter where I taught many of the children reading, writing, and math. I have a passion for teaching and am a mother myself and understand the true value of educating our youth.

A Little Bit About Me...

Fair, firm and consistent are my mantras of classroom management. In that, I believe that all children deserve a safe, clean, engaging, yet structured environment in which to meet their full potential. I firmly believe that learning is a team affair, and practice the standards of cooperative learning.
For the past year-and-a-half, I have worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Palm Springs Unified School District, acting as the virtual teacher of record in dedicated classrooms on several occasions. Inherent in that experience, I developed lesson plans and graded student work, as well as liaised with parents and administration. I am versed in the California Content Standards across curriculums and have passed my CBEST, as well as my CSET.

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

With my managerial and marketing experience honed with such firms as IBM, McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing), American Express and Atlantic-Richfield, combined with my MBA, I can lead a student from textbook theory to application which helps understanding the subject matter immensely. I taught accounting, business management, economics, and international business at the University of St Paul (Philippines). In addition, I have tutored HS algebra, geometry, and calculus. I have a BS in Biochemistry and have conducted research studying and synthesizing novel carborane compounds used in cancer research. Leveraging this background, I can help a student in inorganic, organic, biochemistry, physics or biology at the high school level.
In order to move forward in an academic subject, let’s first see where the student is in their understanding of the subject. Perhaps the student's min ... read more

I have worked as an elementary school teacher for grades 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8. I have taught a bilingual class (Spanish and English) for 6 years. I was a Reading Recovery Teacher for two years, and a Miller Unruh reading specialist for one year. I served as a Beginning Teacher Support Provider (BTSA) for 4 years, and I have served as a assistant principal for 7 years. I am planning on retiring this year and would like a position as a reading tutor. Of all of the positions I have served as an educator, my most fruitful experience was teaching reading using my reading recovery methods. I would love to enjoy the pleasure of watching a students discovery of reading fluently with total comprehension.
Planning effective reading lessons depends mainly on the outcome of student assessment. I use phonemic awareness and phonics surveys to compile student data. After analyzing the data, I begi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is about helping students understand why answers are correct. "Just because" is not good enough. When the student asks, "Why....?" That is the moment to teach the concept that they will remember. Education has to be fun. When a student is engaged and having fun they want to learn and learning becomes easy. At times it is important to break material down into pieces that the student can handle. Accomplish the easy stuff first.
I have 10+ years of teaching experience from high school to college level courses. My experience includes a bachelor degree in Accounting and a master degree in Health Services Administration. My experience also includes 20+ years experience in daily business. My teaching experience includes substitute teaching at the high school level, instructor positions at area trade schools, and instructor/adjunct professor assignments for college ... read more
