Florida Writes Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Los Angeles, CA

I majored in English Literature and Writing at UCLA, with a focus on British Pre-Reformation Classics, as well as Shakespeare's 1st and 2nd portfolios. I also won 1st Place in the university's Westwind Writing Competition, taking home top prize for Non-Fiction entry. I have experience working on the school newspaper, The Daily Bruin, and extensive journalism experience. Finally, I co-founded The Writers' Den, a school-based organization dedicated to teaching English and Writing to inner-city students (Compton, Inglewood especially). Mine is a creative and lively, interactive teaching style, focusing on playing off of children's interests and strengths. I make it a point to get to know the students I work with -- background, education, hobbies and lifestyle.

I encourage and challenge my students. Whether they are studying algebra or learning English, I always provide them easy to remember tips, challenging lessons, and carefully thought out practice questions. When conducting a lesson, I always inform the students of the rules and steps to solve the problem; I try to do this in the most comedic and creative way possible, so the students remembers. Then I go through each problem and/or question with the student a couple of times, then I let the student try a few for themselves. I encourage the students to explore and ask and to practice and challenge themselves. I have tutored for about ten years and find it a remarkably rewarding experience. II have worked as a tutor with students of all ages and backgrounds. I have tutored for 10 years in math and English. I have tutored elementary, middle school, high school, and college students math, and

My methods are constructive and encouraging. I start from the beginning, then progress one step at a time, eventually arriving at the finished product. A strong subject foundation will give the student more confidence and better skills to handle the harder classes they will encounter down the road., if they are currently in the harder classes, reviewing the beginning steps before conquering the latter ones would allow the student to make a smooth transition between concepts. I explain the concepts of the material in detail, work through several examples with the student, then allow them to work through it on their own while answering any questions they may have along the way. I have a BS degree in General Biology from California State University Dominguez Hills.

I have been working with children for over two years and I enjoy it tremendously. I believe I possess the skills and characteristics necessary for providing the best tutoring experience. As a tutor I would strive to make a difference in all of my student's lives. I would go out of my way to make sure each student fully understands each lesson. My goal would be to help each student understand the material and feel confident with it. I have worked in various tutoring facilities. I worked at a nearby Kumon where I helped students with reading and writing. I was in charge of 10-15 students, and I helped them complete their assignment lesson packets. I was a private tutor for over a year. I would meet with each student two times a week. I would help each student with homework, classwork, lessons, and projects. I was recently working at an after school program called Think Together as a teach

I think it's a great feeling when you actually know you've taught something to a child and you can tell they will remember it for life. I still remember my friend's mom teaching me tricks to remember the multiplication tables, and I would like to be able to impact someone's life in the same way. I'm a fun person and I like to do things a little outside of the box. I would try to make the tutoring sessions something that the children would look forward to. I look forward to the challenge of making a difference. To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University Of Notre Dame, I had to be a Renaissance class-taker. Math, Science, and foreign language were all required for anyone to graduate. My major was Film, Television, and Theater, but many Literature and History classes were also all required. Writing is my strength, as I wrote and directed the school's biggest comedy show and ran t

My teaching style is dynamic and interactive. I ask lots of questions to help the learner realize that the answer and the abiltiy to achieve lies within them. I help learners reach that ability that has been covered up by negative teachers and people that have given up on them. All students can learn and achieve but not all teachers can teach. I can teach because I will never give up on a student and I will tap the hidden potential and help the student to believe in themselves. I have earned two teaching credentials and have always been a high acheiver in life and in school. I have taught special education for over eight years and have served the toughest populations the education system has to offer. I analyze my clients needs and deliver effective approaches to solve their learning difficulties and reach them where they are at.

I took several engineering math courses at UCLA and graduate level statistics. I love teaching math and have been doing it off an on since 1998. I am able to teach math and English through Algebra.

I believe that with proper classroom management and an interesting delivery of lessons, every student has the potential to learn and achieve academic success. I use a number of methods to introduce the concepts to my students, including hands-on activities, use of manipulatives, computer generated presentations, role-playing, textbooks, video, etc. I feel that if I can find the proper modality along with allowing a student to explore on his own, then a student can achieve success in learning. My goal is to build a safe and stimulating learning environment, and to try to make learning interesting and fun during the challenging middle school years. I am a certificated teacher with a multiple subject credential, presently working as a substitute teacher in Ontario/Montclair school district.

I tutored philosophy students for a year while in college. I earned a master's degree in early childhood education and taught second grade for two years. I also was a substitute teacher for grades K-8th. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and a mentor through United We Mentor. My teaching style involves a positive approach. I believe students learn best in an environment that is both positive and challenging. Positive feedback is essential because students are encouraged to take risks and solve problems. A challenging classroom teaches critical thinking skills that are necessary for the global market.
