More About This Tutor...

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 exceedingly familiar with classroom settings and the professionalism that comes with it. I also have accumulated plentiful hours of observations in different classrooms, along with many hours of volunteer help in numerous elementary and preschool classrooms. Within this past year I have done extensive studying for the CSET exam, this studying has furthered my understanding of the elementary educational testing.

More About This Tutor...

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.
As a tutor, I know I will be responsible for teaching, tutoring, and offering assistance on various math assignments and test preparations to s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

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...

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 begin planning student instruction based on the students academic needs. I also take into account the student's life experiences as I plan lessons, so students are able to make connections between prior knowledge and newly learned concepts.
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 p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I earned my Bachelors degree in Liberal Studies which covers an advanced level in Mathematics, Science, History, English, and Physical Education. I went on to earn my CA Teaching Credential and student taught 1st and 5th grades. I have been able to substitute for the last two years in grades K-12 which has given me a variety of exposure to learning styles as well as movitational keys.
I love that children soak up information! Many learn by visual, audio, or hands-on approach and I seek to find the children's strength in learning. I'm very patient and approachable, and believe praise is the key to increasing acheivements. Using what a child already knows, and applying stepping stones in a constructivist manner, a student is able to discover their own learning process and process new concepts.
