I hope I can end up helping you. (:

I just graduated high school, and I was a really good student. I never failed any classes at all. I have taken advanced classes since I started middle school.Despite moving about three times, I always kept my school grade up no matter what. Tutoring people is a good way to help and give back to the community. I want to try to help others further their education.

"Music expresses that which cannot be said." V. Hugo

Whether it's Musical help or Mathematical help that's needed, I like to realize the difficulties students are having. Then, together with them, I'll break down the problem, finding the source of confusion or difficulty they're having. Then start from the very beginning of the lesson they're learning, reteaching as though there was never any difficulties at all. I'll make sure students learn and understand, only to develop the possible ability to help others as though they never had any difficulties.
Throughout all my years in school, I was a Choir student. I was in my school's top varsity choirs and took a few years of music theory. I would help other students prepare for competitions, or simply help them with other things, whether it was vocal issues or things like reading music. I know much about both Classical Training and Contemporary Training. Also, I tutored many classmates ... read more

A good environment is essential to learning. A rich learning environment that cares about the deficiency needs so that intellectual achievement may occur. They will know where they stand. Students will have ideas. Those ideas will be considered valuable. Modeling and scaffolding will be used to create a foundation for learning. The success will create more motivation. Wait time will increase so students can make better responses. Constructivism will be used so the students can apply, and link the lesson to prior knowledge in a way they can retain it. . There will be some use of application assessment to see if students can apply in another setting what they have learned.

Teachers are the core of creating well-rounded educated future voting citizens in the United States. As a result, I believe it is the responsibility of every instructor to understand that the purpose behind educating every student is determined by proving equal access.

My experiences in working with children extended as a student in college, when I started volunteering in After School Programs, first starting at Parlier High School in Parlier Unified School District. I tutored students and directed review sessions for students who needed to take the California High School Exit Exam. I also provided extra curricular activities for students who were done with their homework. I continued to volunteer in the After School Program at Terronez Middle School in Fresno Unified School District. My duties were very similar as they were in Parlier High School. I began the Credential Program through California State University, Fresno during the summer, working with 5th grade students at Washington Academic Middle School in Sanger Unified School District. My intermediate student teaching was done at Madison Elementary in a 3rd grade classroom. My final student ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of tutoring is skills-focused, with a goal of student independence. I am patient and work to facilitate a student’s ability to do the work herself, by giving her strategies for navigating her own work, and helping her to see, or mentally organize, reading and writing in new ways. Positive encouragement and building self-confidence are always important to me. Finally, I feel students learn best while doing meaningful work toward their own academic goals within a safe, fun environment. Tutoring is a joyful challenge and privilege for me and I look forward to helping more students in the future.

My teaching style can be described as casual and comfortable. Students who are having problems understanding certain concepts are better able to grasp difficult ideas when they feel they are in a comfortable environment where they are free to ask questions and discuss their problems openly. My goal is to be informative and helpful, but never intimidating. My style works best with high school students, who describe me as approachable, yet structured.
I began tutoring during my senior year of high school as a favor for a family friend. I soon realized the demand for private tutoring services and began taking it more seriously. While attaining my Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry, I would frequently tutor friends who needed extra assistance. Years of laboratory experience allowed me to gain an understanding of scientific writing styles, and to expand my writing and rese ... read more

My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach a child to reason will enable him to learn any subject at any age.
During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, headi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a senior at Fresno State, soon I will have a B.A. in History, which certifies my ability to research, analyze, and write proficiently. Besides having attained writing skills and expertise in the Social Sciences, I have continually improved my knowledge in several academic fields out of my own initiative; I have honed my skills in Spanish Language and Literature, Englih Literature, math (geometry and algebra) and science (physics, human physiology, and biology). In the past I have tutored these subjects for five years.
I have known that teaching is my calling since I was a Freshman in high school. Learning how everything works has always facinated me and sharing that has been equally rewarding. I believe that learning can be fun when it is relevant and interactive. Students have to be given a vested interest in the learning process, asked questions. An environment of trust ... read more
