Credentialed Elementary Teacher Able to Tutor K-12

I am a credentialed elementary teacher, but have experience tutoring K-12, both in person and virtually. I began tutoring virtually starting in mid 2019 and refined my skills during the pandemic when everything became virtual. I also currently teach 3rd grade in California and participate regularly in plenty of professional development, including post graduate courses. This is my 6th year teaching in the classroom, but my umpteenth year working with children in a school setting.
I use a comprehensive homeschool curriculum with progress monitoring reports, and my lessons are interactive and designed to meet the needs of each student. I try to have fun and make it relevant to their own experience, and I ensure that every student feels included and welcomed. In the classroom, my biggest strengths are levels of engagement and behavior management utilizing SEL methods.

More About This Tutor...

I currently have a BA in Liberal Studies (Education) from Cal-State Northridge. During my years at this university, I took classes to work in the elementary school setting and as a result, have observed and participated in various elementary school settings from Kindergarten through the 5th grade. While I was there, I also helped tutor a special needs student who was in some of my classes who needed help with English and Linguistics. I am currently taking classes in early childhood education so that I can work with the younger children as well.
I believe that all children can learn if they are motivated to do so. Therefore, I believe that the best way to teach a child is to do it in a way that will allow them to take the initiative in their own learning. I want the children to enjoy learning through discovery of the material in their own unique way (not how I want them to learn). I ... read more

I truly believe that children are the future and I teach and treat them according to that. Teaching with Understanding is the primary goal that I have. Through my own experience I have learned that every child learns and understands differently and it is my job to teach them accordingly. I am always looking for new, inventive and effective ways of teaching. I have great patience, and a good listener; which I personally feel is important when teaching a child, I feel by listening to a child a teacher can discover the child’s uniqueness and apply their teaching to that. I am very devoted to what I do and would provide my all to your students.
Education has been my passion and dream for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I followed my dream and graduated from Cal State California with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies and a concentration in History. Due to my education I am e ... read more

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, CAHSEE prep, GRE prep, middle and high school English.

More About This Tutor...

I have always been passionate about books, learning, and reading. I started tutoring students when I was in the 3rd grade, when my teacher sent me to the lower grades to help kids who were struggling in reading. Working as a Library Technician at my children's elementary school for six years renewed the sense of excitement about education I recalled from my own elementary school experience. I decided to return to college and earn my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Since then, I have also earned my Master's degree in Language, Reading, and Culture, as well as endorsements in ESL and as a Reading Specialist, K-12. I have been teaching for six years in grades 1-8: general education, language arts, and remedial reading.
I can't imagine anything more rewarding than helping a child to learn. Each child has different learning styles and rates of progress. Teaching must be ... read more

During my own college career, I have attained experience working with students as a tutor, teacher's assistant, and peer. I have always enjoyed working with students and feel that my work and coursework experience has adequately prepared me for this position. As a recent graduate from UCLA,I have taken mathematics courses ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus, including Statistics. My degree from UCLA was in Biology and so I am very comfortable working as a science tutor. I also have one year’s experience as a peer math tutor for San Bernardino Valley College and I was also a part of a year-long program at UCLA called California Teach, where I was able to work as a teacher's assistant for elementary, junior high, and high school levels.

My first tutoring experience was in high school, assisting other students in Algebra. I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BS in Computer Science. After college I worked at an insurance company as an IT Training Advisor. My primary responsibility was to train new software developers on the technologies and best practices used at our company. I also worked at a Medical Device company as a Business Analyst. This position included developing training materials, and delivering training to end users of the software my group developed. After college I also served for ten years as a volunteer Math tutor for adult GED students. I also spent a year tutoring a 3rd grade student in Math and English.
I believe that a big part of teaching is listening and observing. Not every student learns the same way, so it is important to be patient and try to un ... read more

I am a very patient teacher and meet students on their level, speak and relate to them with respect and love---and teach them according to their needs and skill levels. If a student is difficult to work with, I will not hesitate to steer off the subject path for a few minutes to discuss something that interests them--this gains their respect and creates a bond with the student--then I steer us back to the subject at hand. I am a very flexible home-teacher and I meet students exactly where they are at in terms of learning styles, intelligence, patience. etc.
I have 10 years experience with Morongo unified School district as a substitute teacher, a student teacher, and now a home teacher. I have spent 7 years as a home teacher--all grade levels--all major subjects. I work with students that are expelled or suspended or have a mediacl condition that prevents them from attending publi ... read more

Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as others can pick up new material orally. I also believe it is important for me as an educator to connect with the students in way that each student feels that you understand them. Many students lack self esteem and confidence when it comes to their learning abilities and I am there to help them believe in themselves in order to produce successful work. My background as a bilingual educator has helped me to consistently be culturally sensitive in the classroom environment as well as within the community.
As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacitie ... read more

As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed me to gain knowledge about the basic maths and sciences as well as about people. Moreover, through my college experience, I have extremely sufficient grammatical skills due to the numerous research papers I have written. Since high school, I have mentored 4th and 5th grade students in reading and math, taught Girl Scouts life skills, and assisted many peers in studying the areas of communication disorders and psychology.
I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students under ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

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.

?I enjoy relating with children and young people. Children face challenges in the learning process and there’s no shame in having someone assisting them over the hurdles. I would do my outmost to connect with your child so that I can understand how he or she reasons, and give the individual attention that can make a difference in the child’s academic success. As a mother I have studied many helpful books and taken several seminars to assist me in understanding the minds and potentials of young people.
?I have a BA degree with a minor in English. These courses were done in French. I also studied Hebrew and Greek. During these studies I had many research papers and a thesis to do.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is one of my passions, and I intend to teach at the college level after obtaining my M.S. My fourth grade teacher sparked my love of science at an early age; she was so excited about the material and invested in us that we couldn't help but learn. This experience instilled in me a desire to share my passion for academia, specifically chemistry and biology, with others. I believe that a passionate, invested teacher can do much to influence and encourage students. Because of my familiarity with the sciences, I am able to explain one concept in many different ways. I like to guide my students and help teach them to think for themselves. I believe that this will ultimately equip them to be successful in all their future endeavors.
During my undergraduate career, I was a teaching assistant for Physical Science and General Biology for two years. My responsibilities included teac ... read more
