Teaching is a very strong passion of mine and I intend on continuously working in the field of Education for many years. I am a firm believer that every child has the ability to learn to their fullest potentional and it is my job to give them the tools to achieve this. I believe children learn best through visual aid, repetition, and example to ensure that the information has been received and retained for future use. Given the proper attention, patience, and guidance, every child has the ability to be successful both in and outside the classroom. Every child should have the opportunity to be successful in the classroom and I strive to help make that a possibility. I graduated from Syracuse University with a dual-major in History and Social Studies Education. I have extensive knowledge in reading, writing, and grammar due to writing two thesis papers, taking several writing-intensiv

I am a patient and encouraging tutor. I observe my students' responses and then provide examples and exercises that will enable them to comprehend the concepts. I prefer, when possible, to explain the "big picture"-in order to activate memory and cognitive abilities that will place concepts and skills in a mental framework. I like to provide visual data in order to help solidify abstract concepts. For example, using a graphing calculator to demonstrate the roots of a quadratic equation. I receive a powerful sense of achievement when I enable students in their comprehension of mathematical and scientific concepts. I received a PhD in psychology in 1974 from Claremont Graduate School. I taught 8 semesters at Ventura Community College and I have two community college credentials(psychology and special education). I am a licensed psychologist and I perform psychological assessments for the D

My experience involves tutoring students of all ages, from K-12. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management from San Jose State University. I love working with all children. I enjoy teaching so much that I do that as a volunteer, in order to spend time in the learning environment. I love to help students with any problems or obtacles that they are facing in their studies and with their current curriculum. I have also helped students prepare for standardized test.

I teach like I learn by hands-on, listening, reading, writing, and practicing what I have learned. I like to tap into prior knowledge of my students through informal and formal assessments, talking to their parents, and talking to them about what they think they are capable of or would like to improve about themselves. I praise students for their specific accomplishments and never make them feel bad when they are unable to do something they think they should be able to do better. I relate to people who struggle in math because I was one of those students. I have a lot of empathy and patience and that comes through in my teaching style. I attended the University of the Pacific when I was 35 years young and my goal was to graduate with a degree before the age of 40 which is what I did. Since that time, I have worked at the Lodi Unified School District as a substitute teacher, both long-ter
