In order to to be a successful teacher and to help others to succeed, a dedicated and disciplined teacher will gain the TRUST of his/her students by first LISTENING, always being willing to help, never standing in judgement or criticize, especially in front of others, and giving the students respect/credit to be able to learn! Also, each person learns in a different way/speed, some fast, others slower...all of the above is my teaching style, and to have the PATIENCE to individually help EVERYONE, no matter how fast/slow! ALWAYS BELIEVE in your students...they will BELIEVE in YOU!
My teaching experience includes private/public/correctional schools (Florida Dept. of Corrections-State certified teacher,drug/alcohol counselor 1983-2000)...private tutoring (Reading,Writing,Math) with many happy,successful students of all ages/backgrounds (1965-present). I am lifetime dedicated to helpin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I ask students demonstrate the skills they already possess, working step-by-step through subject matters with the student taking the lead. I also work to build studying skills by assisting students in looking up information they do not know and methods they are struggling to apply. I strive to build a supportive environment where questions are welcome. I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning and building skills to help them succeed academically.
As a young lawyer, I am proficient in all subject matters and excel in grammatical skills and language arts. I graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC. I have taken advanced courses in legal writing and learned the import of concise, clear writing. I earned my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University where I graduated with honors, with distinction, and magna cum laude. To ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated with an AA Degree in Liberal Studies from Allan Hancock Community College. I then transferred to San Francisco State University where I earned my BA Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Sociology. Upon graduation, I began working as a Substitute Teacher for grades K-8 in Santa Maria, CA. During this time, I was responsible for teaching many subjects including English, math, music, history and physical education. I also conducted many small group tutoring sessions.
I have taught and tutored hundreds of children while substitute teaching. I have found that my style is one which tries to involve the student in the learning process as much as possible. I love using volunteers to read aloud and participate in the learning process. I feel that treating each child with respect and as individuals increases their own abilities and improves their self-confidence as ... read more

I have a passion for learning, and a love of all types of diversity. I thrive in one-on-one and small group scenarios where I can identify the learning styles and strengths of each child, and cater to their individuality. When I taught swimming one summer at the YMCA, I quickly became the favored instructor for kids aged 3-8, especially those in the extremes: fearful and fearless. The fearful children needed to be coaxed into confidence so that they could feel safe and proud to succeed at their own pace, while the fearless children needed firm but loving boundaries to ground them in safety and discipline so that they could be freed up to push themselves to their full potential.
For more than 20 years I have been an educator and advocate for children and families in multiple settings. I have eight years of volunteer and paid classroom experience with K-12, teaching and tutoring in a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching, which is something I received from my father, who would often help me with my homework when I was a boy. I am patient and am willing to work with students at their level. It is important to show students good work habits and a sense of fulfillment when they complete the tasks assigned to them by their teachers. It gives them confidence to go beyond their expectations.
I pride myself in having completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree when I was 21 years of age. The degree I completed was a Liberal Arts Degree with an emphasis in Philosophy and Minors in English, Spanish and Music. I feel that this type of a degree gives an individual a well rounded and inclusive outlook regarding many subjects, whether it be Math, History, Reading, Science, Music and/or Art. A few years after I received my degree, I acquired a multiple subject teaching credential from Chapman Universit ... read more

I enjoy immensely working with beginning readers. It is so thrilling to me to see the light bulb go off in a child when they grasp a math concept or advance in their reading! I am very patient and really enjoy making it fun and attractive to learn.One of my big gifts is encouragement. I believe in a structured, organized setting for teaching. I believe it is important to be organized and have supplies and curriculum/exercises ready for the students so that there is no time wasted in their learning.
After graduating from St Joseph High School in Santa Maria I attended Hancock College with an Early Childhood Degree Major. I have 48 units from Hancock with 13 units of ECS.I was teaching as a preschool teacher for a private preschool while being a student. Years later I became a Classified Substitute/Temporary Educational Assistant for the Medford,Oregon School District for 6 yrs. I th ... read more

It is always a thrill for me to work with a student and to help them achieve their goals. Each student is unique. The way in which they assimilate knowledge may also be unique. It is the skill of the teacher then to know what is the best approach to take with each student to help them discover their own inherent abilities. When a student also finds that the process of learning is enjoyable, it can foster a love for knowledge which will sustain them throughout their life. Life after all is an endless learning process and the more that we are open to learning and discovering, the more successful we will be in our lives.
I have enjoyed a unique educational background, having been required to study all academic disciplines as an undergraduate. The benefits of this unique approach to education later inspired me to earn a Master's degree in the development of consciousness, which ... read more
