A Little Bit About Me...

I am hoping to tutor students from k-8th grade because I know I have more than enough qualification to help them succeed. Plus, I have worked as a bible studies and piano teacher at my church with students in that range. I also have enough tutoring and academic experience to be able to tutor these students. For ~3 years I was a tutor for students learning English as a second language (for I speak English and Spanish) at Reedley College. I helped them with basic reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, etc., much like what students within k-8th grade learn. Furthermore, I acquired a well rounded education by earning an Associates in General Studies, and this helped me become knowledgeable in a wide array of subjects. This, I'm sure can help me be an excellent tutor for these students as well. Currently, I am earning a Bachelors in Philosophy/Religious Studies, and am applying for a dual ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Not only have I tutored my nieces and nephews throughout their K-12 and even into college, I have a background in copy editing, I have been in a few minor publications, I am a competent mathematician, and I have a deep fascination and interest in science. My education is in psychology, philosophy, and English Writing, and I have a broad understanding of social/political theories, biology, math and algebra, and earth science. I am also highly knowledgeable of many books that are commonly assigned for high school readings.
To use class material as a core of what is being taught, but also adding extra information when relevant to understanding the material, offering tips and advice, and a sharp eye for finding mistakes and the tact to offer constructive criticism to help overcome and prevent future mistakes.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I love to read.

I have been a tutor for over four years. I enjoy tutoring and teaching a variety of subjects to whoever wants to learn. Learning for the sake of learning is one of the most important things I have learned in college and that is how I apply myself to tutoring. School should not be about just memorization; it should be about learning for the sake of learning.
I tutor not for facts, but for concepts and how everything fits into the "big picture."

More About This Tutor...

My style of tutoring is skills-focused, with a goal of student independence. I am patient and work to facilitate a student’s ability to do the work herself, by giving her strategies for navigating her own work, and helping her to see, or mentally organize, reading and writing in new ways. Positive encouragement and building self-confidence are always important to me. Finally, I feel students learn best while doing meaningful work toward their own academic goals within a safe, fun environment. Tutoring is a joyful challenge and privilege for me and I look forward to helping more students in the future.

A good environment is essential to learning. A rich learning environment that cares about the deficiency needs so that intellectual achievement may occur. They will know where they stand. Students will have ideas. Those ideas will be considered valuable. Modeling and scaffolding will be used to create a foundation for learning. The success will create more motivation. Wait time will increase so students can make better responses. Constructivism will be used so the students can apply, and link the lesson to prior knowledge in a way they can retain it. . There will be some use of application assessment to see if students can apply in another setting what they have learned.

I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skills in Spanish Language and Literature, Englih Literature, math (geometry and algebra) and science (physics, human physiology, and biology). In the past I have tutored these subjects for five years.
I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust ... read more

Teachers are the core of creating well-rounded educated future voting citizens in the United States. As a result, I believe it is the responsibility of every instructor to understand that the purpose behind educating every student is determined by proving equal access. In addition, instructors must acknowledge the responsibilities mandated by the profession such as meeting the needs of a diverse learning community. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to meet the needs mentioned above to my fullest potential in order to develop healthy, well-rounded future voting citizens.

"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." This quote by William Butler Yeats summarizes my philosophy of education. I love seeing students become excited about learning and becoming self-directed learners. Oftentimes, this means that the student takes the lead and I am there mainly to provide encouragement and structure. I try to provide a safe environment for learning. I believe there are no dumb questions and it is OK to make mistakes. I encourage students to brainstorm and think outside the box. I find that many students lack the ability to manage their time efficiently. I work with the student in developing organizational skills. I help the student set up goals with measurable objectibles so he can monitor his progress. When appropriate, I utilize contracts to assist the student in becoming accountable.
I have successfully homeschooled K - ... read more

My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and helpful, but never intimidating. My style works best with high school students, who describe me as approachable, yet structured.
I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and rese ... read more

My experiences in working with children extended as a student in college, when I started volunteering in After School Programs, first starting at Parlier High School in Parlier Unified School District. I tutored students and directed review sessions for students who needed to take the California High School Exit Exam. I also provided extra curricular activities for students who were done with their homework. I continued to volunteer in the After School Program at Terronez Middle School in Fresno Unified School District. My duties were very similar as they were in Parlier High School. I began the Credential Program through California State University, Fresno during the summer, working with 5th grade students at Washington Academic Middle School in Sanger Unified School District. My intermediate student teaching was done at Madison Elementary in a 3rd grade classroom. My final student ... read more
