Students need somebody to guide them to be able to learn.

More than 15 years of successful teaching in all levels (adult, secondary, and college/university) teaching here and abroad. In addition, I have been in administrative positions, journalism work, and public relations with various corporate organizations and educational institutions. I also serve the community as a volunteer citizen such as serving the school site councils and the city commissions. I write for a weekly newspaper and also for Examiner.com, an online publication.
Traditional approach - lecture, discussion, answer and question method, group discussion, reports, one-on-one, and book reports. Non-traditional approach - virtual lecture, online discussion, mostly one-on-one interaction, proctored tests, and special techniques such as reading aloud, group interaction.

My comments on tutoring Journalism : Able to help with subject

I work with all different types of learners such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and read write when it comes to students. I make sure that the children and adults will understand the course material and subject matter they are working on of their own academics.
I have had 22 years total of tutoring experience, worked for six different supplemental educational services tutoring providers, worked for three different online tutoring companies, and have eleven years of experience as an ESL Teacher. In addition, I have the content knowledge of the academic subjects, am confident, and interested in what I am tutoring. My goal with the parents is to help their child work towards improved grades, increased confidence, and performing at or above the grade level. As for adults I am knowledgeable about the subject matter and course material. Also, I do Free Talk lessons as to whatever you' ... read more

Writing/Editing is my first love that I want to share.

I have more than 10 years experience working in Journalism. My BA is specifically in News/Edit. I love to write and edit and enjoy helping others express themselves. I look forward to the oppurtunity to do so. I enjoy working with people and will always try my best to make a person feel comfortable with me. I like to make people laugh and feel that I am friendly and nice. I went into Journalism because I want to educate the world and make it a better place. I really like to share my knowledge with others. You never stop learning, so I hope to also learn from my students since just like everyone else, I do not know everything. What I do know is that I feel I can pass on my experience and knowledge to help people open up their minds and see how beautiful the world realy is.
Patient and understanding. Willing to take time to help students understand and will take time to help whenev ... read more

My teaching style is that learning should be fun! I use humor, encouragement, enthusiasm and interest to make sure students feel invested in learning and improving. Drudgery never succeeds in the long run. Confidence and comfort are key to students gaining competency, and I strive to discover each student's learning style in order to individually help them.
I've taught more than 600 classes in Livermore's schools, creating a superb awareness of how to teach a variety of individuals. I graduated magna cum laude in journalism which has given me exceptional knowledge of writing, reading, grammar and vocabulary. On a broader scale, I hope to leave students with an increased ability to organize their time and materials, and to master study skills that will aid them in the rest of their academic pursuits - as well as their future careers.

A Little Bit About Me...

When you meet me in person you will immediately feel that I am someone who relates well with children and teens. I get to know students on a personal level and find out their learning style and modes of learning. I also assess their current skill level and knowledge of the subject so that I know where from where to start. There are often "holes" of information that are missing from students that can cause increasing problems as lessons build upon knowledge previously learned. Tutoring helps to fill those holes and to help kids find success! I am exceedingly patient, flexible and am very professional. I truly care about each success and frustration in my students and I believe in kids when everyone else has given up on them.
I am an educator who has experience in a variety of teaching environments with a range of student ability, needs, ages and cultures. I hold a Clear California ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In 1983 I completed an ESL teacher training course at Stanford University, and subsequently was hired to teach English in Japan. I made heavy use of the prevailing ideas in ESL teaching at that time. More recently, in designing teaching materials for middle and high school students, I have attempted to map my lessons to the cognitive skills identified in Bloom's taxonomy.
Over the past decade I have also prepared science curriculum materials (middle and high school) for Glencoe McGraw-Hill, Gale Thomson, Pearson and John Wiley. I am the author of The Globalization of Trade, an introduction to the economics of globalization for young readers (published in 2004). Most of my curriculum writing has been science-related, but I have also prepared articles in other areas for Gale Thomson's reference books. My academic training was in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry). I ear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education and helping others get the most out of their scholastic experience has always been very important to me. My tutoring background began at Merced Community College, where I taught college students in English, Spanish, business law, mathematics, and chemistry. Reviewing essays and helping others improve their writing skills is a passion of mine. I continued my education at Fresno State University and there taught Spanish and mathematics while earning my undergraduate degree in accounting. I also instructed a lab class on Internet web site design and development. I've been in the finance industry for over 11 years as an accountant, so I can help with most business-related subjects, too.
I've honed my coaching style to develop many of the tools needed to reach students in every age group because people never stop learning, so I am prepared to assist others wherever they f ... read more

Teaching children is a passion of mine. They soak in the knowledge like a sponge. I am patient, easy going, but also know the task at hand. I try to find the best way to teach that individual child. Every child learns in a different way. I seek to find that way. Since I learn best in a hands-on manner I try to teach that same way.
I was taught at a early age to be the best I possibly could. I was taught to do my best. That has stuck with me all the way through college. I have earned a BS degree in Communication which has given me a knowledge of how to write effectively. I took an editing course which focused on the fundamentals of writing along with correct editing skills. I have had the opportunity to teach individuals in their home while serving a church mission for two years. Also within my church I have taught children the doctrinal basics of the church.

What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from there" filling in the gaps.
I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring ... read more
