As I graduated number seven in my class, I was always a go-getter and an overachiever, especially within my field of study. Over the past 15 years, I have managed to earn a BA in Speech, an MA in Communications and over 10 years collective teaching experience at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Presently, I teach online through a DC based company called Smarthinking.com. My area of expertise is grammar, composition, and classic literature. My goal as a teacher is to ensure that my students hone in on their individual skills and talents. In doing this, I create an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning. This is done through proper assessment and by challenging students at different levels with supplemental assignments and texts. Likewise, I typically design my classroom so that anyone walking into my room would have an enjoyable learning experience simply by vi

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 them to

Because of my work with persons who have physical and mental problems, I have learned to be patient and sharpen my listening skills. This way I am also able to recognize when someone is frustrated or exhausted and use these signs to better cope with any behavioral problems that may arise. I always utilize positive language and seek to understand an issue a student may have to help promote a comfortable learning environment. I find that many students respond well to a good listener and someone that takes time to give them individualized attention. I have a BA in Anthropology which means that I have experience working with diverse groups of people and have a certain understanding and appreciation of the differences among individuals. I have many years of experience tutoring adults and K-12 students. Some of my students have included those with mental disorders and physical handicaps. I hav

My desire is not to simply communicate information to students, but to accommodate material in such a way so that each individual student can learn a way that is easy and hopefully enjoyable. Not every student enjoys learning every subject, but I believe that an accommodating and understanding teacher, willing to work hard in order to make learning simple and useful, can give the student the necessary motivation and confidence to learn any subject well. Therefore, while I accommodate my teaching style to each student's needs and abilities, I always strive to teach in such a way where learning becomes a personal interest for the student as they expand their capabilities through engaging and struggling in the hard work that is education. Throughout my educational experience I have been committed to academic excellence. I recently graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English. My studies g

After graduating from Vanguard University of Southern California with my BA in English, I decided to enroll in the Education Program to receive my Single Subject English Teaching Credential. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I started tutoring students in subjects such as Math, English, Science, History, and Spanish, when I was merely a Junior in High School. I began tutoring K-8 at a local private elementary school. I then became employed at my high school as a tutor. At my high school, I was given the opportunity to work with grades 9-12. I worked in an after school program for three years where I was able to plan lessons and help students with their homework. I have recently student taught at Costa Mesa High School as a 9th Grade Honors English teacher and a 12th Grade Regular English teacher. I started teaching Sunday School when I was in Junior High.

My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person! Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high schoo

Education has always been an essential function in my life, it eventually became my passion. I achieved a bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts and a Master's degree in Mass Communications/screenwriting which I believe portrays my adoration for learning new things and excelling at things I am already interested in. I have two younger siblings in which I have tutored my whole life in multiple subjects and it has been rewarding in ways I cannot describe. In my last year of Graduate school, I was a teacher's assistant for the head professor of screenwriting for the bachelor's program. Most of my expertise is in the Arts but I can also accomodate Elementary, Junior High and High School subjects (English, Literature, and Language Arts, mostly). My teaching style consists of consistency, understanding, consideration, connection and positive acknowledgement. All children need consistency to he

When learning is a positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for children, they learn material much more easily and they retain it much longer than they do when it's not. I make learning a rewarding experience for my students by genuinely acknowledging their effort and their progress; I make it enjoyable by often adding humor to my tutoring and by making it a game as well as a goal to be achieved; and I make learning a positive experience by affirming my students’ worth as unique human beings. Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a life coach for seven years. While I have worked with a variety of clients and have helped them achieve many different goals, my specialty has been helping people with chronic illnesses and emotional challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder heal their spirits so they can find peace and joy.

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life. As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others.
