Patient. Positive.Encouraging. Keeping it light. My primary aim would be to build the student's self confidence and image. Encouraging enthusiasm for the subject matter,by making it more receptive,would be an additional desired outcome. I would place special emphasize on promoting the need to read,write,and speak well, regardless of the subject. Teaching critical thinking would also be a goal. An instructor can't really teach a student. But the pupil can be given learning support and the tutor can plant the desire to pursue the individual's own education at their own pace, by providin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold the personal belief that, “All children are special and learn differently. Each possesses the right and the ability to learn. It is my responsibility to ensure that all children receive the knowledge and tools necessary to reach their full potential.” I think learning needs to be presented in different ways for children to learn because I do not think there is one “right” way to learn. Since not all people learn the same, I try to make sure that I can think of fun, creative, and unique methods for presenting materials. As an educator I can provide homework help, create supplemental lessons to fill-in gaps in learning, and help ensure your child is at grade level.
I graduated from the University of Redlands, in Redlands, CA, with a BA in Liberal Studies and a minor in Communicative Disorders. I have teaching credentials for both Minnesota and California as an elementary ... read more

I love teaching and working with all children, especially those facing challenges in learning. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. When a child fails to achieve certain learning objective, it's the teacher who should be looking for a more effective way of teaching and reaching the child. I am trained in task analysis that ensures your child's success in learning by breaking the task down to smaller units that best fit your child's learning profile and teach them through shaping and chaining. Learning should be fun. I am professionally trained to make your child's learning experience rewarding and to help him/her in maintaining and generalizing skills that ensure future success in life.
I have had extensive education in Math and Physics through college and graduate school. I worked as research scientist for 14 years after graduating from school. In t ... read more

While attending and completing four years of Education courses at a well respected institution I was focused and driven to complete the curriculum and focus on creative lesson planning. Maintaining a GPA of 3.6 in Education courses while participating in four years of collegiate sports really polished my ability to multi-task. The preparation and focus applied in college paired with an immense interest in History has molded me into a life learner as well as teacher. Most of my experience is related to the Social Sciences, however I have substitute taught several math and science classes. I have also completed multiple college courses in math and science.
I have a very modifiable style of teaching, meaning I cater to the student or students. I quickly learn the curriculum and can find multiple ways to teach it. This allows me to utilize the students major styles of learning and d ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During my sophomore year in high school I decided to begin tutoring ESL students. I found the ability to help others succeed very rewarding, and began tutoring fellow classmates in courses including but not limited to English, math, biology, and chemistry. These sometimes difficult subject always made sense to me and I enjoyed watching as the students I tutored were successful. I have in that time earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Florida State University. With this degree I have had extensive exposure and to and learned many different areas in the math and science fields. While earning this degree I volunteered in an after school program tutoring under-priveledged children in the Tallahassee area. Throughout the last 6 years I have found that tutoring is a very rewarding experience. I prefer the 1 on 1 setting to better explain and address all the needs of a specific ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Through my years of coaching and teaching, I have learned that a teacher must adapt his/her teaching style to the learning style of the student. A child can learn in different ways, and it is my job to find the most effective way to help the child learn. Growing up in a large family while my mother ran her own daycare, I learned to be very patient and caring for children. I believe it is important to be consistent and constructive in guiding our children to reach success. My goal is to provide a positive environment for every child in order to achieve his/her full potential.
As a high school and college student, I was very active in my community as a tutor, mentor, teacher, and coach. I have earned a bachelor degree, BS in Exercise and Sports Science. This degree and other core courses have given me an opportunity to learn and understand many areas including math, science, readi ... read more
