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).

More About This Tutor...

I just returned to the US from Shanghai where I worked as a teacher of Science, Social Studies, English and Literature. I have extensive experience as a teacher and tutor. I am very good with students and have over 5 years experience teaching and tutoring. I am excellent teaching reading, writing, and essay writing. I generally tutored 2 to 4 hours after school, worked with a special student diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, taught a writing workshop for gifted students and was editor for the monthly school newsletter.
In over five years of teaching and tutoring I have found that many students need to achieve some type of success with school. Many students have gotten behind or had bad experiences in school and if a teacher can give them some form of success in school they often turn a corner and begin to improve in their studies. With continued positive reinforcement and ... read more

As ambitious a student in the classroom as in life I have completed over 180 college credits at age 24. With a preference in sciences most of these credits were completed however my interest expands far beyond the realm into most every subject. Proof of this is shown by the length of my undergraduate work, six years with enlightening pauses in between to broaden my mind through travel. Biology is my strong suit however math such as physics, calculus and even chemistry are heavily influenced in the major. At San Diego state I have completed the majority of these subject units. This institution is considered the number one small research university with a little help from students such as myself.
Teaching is one of passions as I am always interested in learning. I feel that the quality of the knowledge obtained rests without doubt in the ambitions the student possesses challenging t ... read more

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 obtain these honors, I completed a rigorous curriculum including courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and French. In the last ten years, I have tutored elementary, high school, and college-aged students.
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 ... read more

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 well.
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 ses ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to see children succeed, especially if I contribute to that progress. Teaching has been personal to me as I have regularly helped my nephew many times with his homework when he was younger. My goal is for students to reach success - whether it is to help students understand a concept or to help them solve a problem correctly, I am reluctant to quit and I keep working until students are on the right path or until they have reached their goal. I aspire for students to reach beyond their horizon by attempting more difficult levels once they have mastered the level of learning that they are at.
Living with a disability has posed more challenges in my education than the average person, yet I have faced these challenges and overcome them. I earned my bachelor degree in social welfare in three years and I recently obtained my graduate degree in criminology, law, & society - bot ... read more

I use a teaching paradigm that stresses the importance of student's needs and learning styles. Every student brings unique skills and perspectives to the classroom and tutor session, and because of this I have found that my teaching strategy changes per student and per teaching situation. For some students, being taught using the socratic method works well, while others like to take notes, absorb the material, then ask questions later during office hours. I have found that understanding student's learning methods have helped me to become a better teacher.
As a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo I was interested in English education, especially in terms of helping students improving their reading and writing skills. I followed this interest by tutoring at the university writing lab, as well as doing frequent one-on-one tutor sessions with students in need. At the end of each quarte ... read more
