As a Liberal Studies major pursuing a multi-subject credential, I seek jobs where I can apply the skills I have learned and furthermore, gain experience that will help me as a future teacher. I have a number of experiences working with children and their parents. At Cal Poly and CSUB, I have had the opportunity to work directly with students in various elementary schools and activities. Furthermore, I have tutored for after school programs, and privately for two families with children in Grades K-9. My dedication and organization help me perform to the best of my ability and lead students to success. I find it of the utmost importance to create a safe and effective learning environment. I have learned to work with a diverse group of students and how to address individual needs, ethically and confidentially. However, I am a strong believer that none of these skills would be valuable ... read more

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Chemisty with a minor in statistics. As an undergraduate, I tutored middle-schoolers in science and math as a volunteer at a local school. I was recently a substitute teacher, teaching all ages and in areas such as the biological sciences, algebra, calculus and psychology. I currently tutor a college student in mathemtics.
I first discovered my love for teaching in high school. I excelled in many areas and helped my fellow students learn. As I furthered my education, my passion for teaching grew and my style changed. I have molded my favorite, and most effective, professor's techniques into my own hybrid. I use humor and compassion to develop the student's understanding. I try to teach to the student and not at them. I teach study habits that will help them learn more effectively on their own.

A Little Bit About Me...

I gained a variety of skills including, counseling, communication, discipline, motivation, teamwork, and importantly, patience. Although teaching students has its challenges, I learned that patience, flexibility, cooperation and accepting the uniqueness of each individual play a vital role. Helping children is the most important, challenging, and rewarding task in my life. Children who grow up in a caring, nurturing, educational atmosphere help them to develop the confidence, self-esteem and knowledge to become happy, successful young adults and members of the community. I firmly believe teaching our children and assisting with their development is vital to their future. I am content to motivate and encourage all children.
I possess a BA in Child, Adolescent & Family Studies. I have hands-on experience, as well as the necessary approaches to helping children. I worked with s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Learning styles vary depending on learners' needs and interests.Through the years,I have always matched my teaching styles with students' learning styles.I have constantly used a variety of strategies while teaching groups,and have consistently assessed their educational needs prior to using any teaching or tutoring strategy. Students from the same age group may have common interests,but there is always a difference in their abilities and learning needs.In order to assist them,strategies and materials must be suited to their individual level.

As a design student, and throughout my life, I have held the ability to grasp new concepts in multiple subjects with very little difficulty. I have used this skill to assist classmates in better understanding difficult subjects mostly in mathematics, science, and computer applications. My bachelors of fine arts degree in interior architecture has enabled me to become proficient in subjects such as geometry, trigonometry, drafting, CAD, perspective drawing and rendering, environmental science, art history, and computer applications in PC and MAC. Within the last few years, I have tutored in mathematics, reading, CAD, sociology, and psychology. Recently, I passed the CBEST exam and obtained my Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit.
I believe education is the most valuable gift we can pass on to our most valuable resources, which is the youth. I would like to be a factor in prov ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught in private schools in California for 15 years ( 1980-1994). I started as a teacher, then became a Media Specialist, then a Vice Principal and finally a principal. I moved to Indiana in 1994, where I taught in public school for 3 years. We moved back to California in 2000. Since that time I have served as a Library Media Specialist and Reading Teacher. Presently I teach reading fundamentals to small groups of students from 2nd through 6th grades.Additionally, I am a writer, and have published numerous stories and articles, and one full length book of fiction.
I believe in using the differentiated approach to teaching--based upon the seven intelligences. I plan for all lessons being taught, and state the objectives on the board for each lesson. I present the lesson, allowing the students to interact and respond by activating prior knowledge, discussing points and inviting t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in motivating children to be self learners through independent discovery. I particularly enjoy watching an apathetic student become excited when he/she has grasped a concept that was frustrating for him/her. I am a firm believer in children becoming responsible for their own learning. This is achieved when the teacher is able to teach and the child is able to learn. I feel that all children can reach their own potential when they see realize the joy of learning.
I have taught grade three for four years. I have taught fifth grade for five years. I have worked as a special education teacher in a moderate-to-severe special day class for two years. I have substitute taught for two years in grades k-12. I am currently an adjunct ESL teacher for a junior college and have taught pre-level I for two years and levels I and II for two years. I have home schooled students a ... read more
