Praxis Exam Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mira Loma, CA

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 taught 6th grade math/science as a permanent teacher in LAUSD for 4 years. In addition, I have been

Tutoring is a profession which I have enjoyed for over nine years, often while teaching in the classroom or online, concurrently. I was able to teach multi-subjects to college students because I excelled in all subjects myself, receiving numerous scholarship awards and honors. I chose after school tutoring as my extra duty assignment while teaching middle school and high school. I enjoy tutoring students because I experience the moment of “Ah ha, now I get it!” with them. I am eclectic in my approaches towards teaching, ranging from Montessori and Classroom Without Walls, to Behaviorist and Cognitive approaches. I use what is observable, measurable, and works. I am always prepared to pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I always prepare additional alternative lesson plans in case an approach does not seem doable. I begin tutor sessions with interviews to assess goals. The ultimate goal is a

I have been teaching CSET English Test Prep for more than six years. I began in 2003, while working as a high school English teacher for Los Angeles Unified School District. The Teacher Training Dept. hired me to teach their Single Subject Prep classes to English teachers preparing for the CSET and Praxis Exams. Now, I teach college (Business English at GCC and Business Law at National University) as well as tutor for test prep. I have several hours available per week to work as a tutor and a position in Glendale would be ideal. I am known for my combination of academic rigor and creativity. I love developing kinesthetic, "hands-on" lessons. For example, I'm currently teaching "Vocabulary and Spelling" on Saturdays at GCC. I taught students how to create their own "3-D movies". Then, they wrote "scripts" for the characters they created, using their vocabulary words. They had fun
