Read More About Amethyst W...

I have always been passionate about education and while still in school, I worked with America Reads, with a youth music program, as a private tutor, and as a creative writing TA. After graduating summa cum laude with a BA in English, I earned an MA in Education and a Teaching Credential. I then worked as a classroom teacher, teaching English and foundational mathematics. After being laid-off, I have worked as a writing and editing consultant for graduate students, continued my private tutoring practice with learners in elementary and high school, and volunteered to help design a literacy support program for economically disadvantaged youth.
I believe that all learners are capable of high achievement if they receive appropriate support, and with a recent Master's Degree in Education, I am well-versed in current best practices. I have a student-centered approach that involves assess ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am flexible and patient; helping students to learn is my priority. I believe that tutoring offers an ideal relationship with the student where their specific needs and learning styles can be addressed. I feel that it is important to connect to a student's interests and imagination. To accomplish this it is necessary to teach with interest and imagination. I don't accept anything less from myself.
I graduated Magna Cum-Laude from Ramapo College with a BA in English and a minor in history. Afterwards, I traveled around the world teaching. Currently I am tutoring in California, passing on my love and knowledge of the English language, literature, and other subjects to students. In addition to my background in the Humanities, I have taken several semesters of Math and Science courses. I have been tutoring students since I was employed by Ramapo and over the years have taught many ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is very hands on. I like to show the student how its done and make them repeat the process over until the concepts are understood. I also like the students to have choices and some sort of control over their own learning processes so that there is mutual respect amongst peers and myself.
About midway through my studies at Northeastern University, I started teaching in after-school programs. There I taught middle school and high school ages kids how to DJ and produce music. I also taught capoeira, a Brazilian martial arts class. During my time at NU i studied all aspects of music technology including compostion, music theory, production, and engineering.

A Little Bit About Me...

Growing up, I was always interested in Physics, Math and Science. I started tutoring elementary students about a year and a half ago. I also teach swimming to all levels and ages at the City of Cerritos. I want to be able to get more students interested in the sciences early on to give them better opportunities in their scholastic career.
I love teaching children. I try to find ways to relate the subject matter to the students so that they may be able to better understand it. I try to personalize and adjust to each student because each student has a different way of learning.

More About This Tutor...

I am a honors graduate of Summa Cum Laude from a well known Polytechnic school here in Southern California. My drive to succeed and reach my full potential as a contributing member of society has led me to achieve two different Associates degrees and a Bachelors degree. When I transferred to the university I was on the path to become a Civil Engineer. My interest in Mathematics led me to that path and enabled me to gain a clear understanding of Math through analytical geometry. Due to the extensive process of obtaining these degrees, I have acquired many skills in other areas such as analytical and critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, the ability to work well in teams and basic general knowledge.
I greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge in areas I have strength in with others who wish to gain the same knowledge. Helping others understand gives me a great pleasure. I like t ... read more

I evaluate the student and see where he/she stands and move forward in progressing their skill. Every instrument is different and difficult in its own way. I will teach the student the most productive way to practice by using the technique I learned by professors and professional musicians. For trumpet, I work on the embochure, and breathing. For violin, I evaluate the way the student holds the instrument including posture. I use a special tape to help guide with the notes which I use as training wheels, and take them down one at a time as the student progresses. The student learns at his/her pace and will vary by the amount of practice he/she puts into it.
In 1997 I was a teacher assistant for the Huntington Park High School music department. I ran rehearsals with the marching band, jazz band, jazz choir, beginning orchestra, and beginning band. In April of 2000 I started ... read more

I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Our future depends on our creating a generation that is capable forming their own opinions and arguments; a generation capable of wrestling with tough questions and arriving at well thought out conclusions. I would love to claim that I came up with philosophy on my own; but I must admit, it is a philosophy I adopted from two of the most influential educators in my life, my parents.
I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fell ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such.
I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano.
