Elementary Phonics Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Morro Bay, CA

I have been teaching for over 17 years. Being very versatile, I have taught English, Ancient History, Medieval History, Computers, Art, and preschool. I started out teaching preschool and loved it. Then I went to a private Christian school (teaching completely for volunteer pay). From there, I decided that I love to help people learn. I went back to school. Students still will recognize me and I know that I made a difference in their life. It is a great reward to know that at that point in their life, I was supposed to be there. I believe in individual learning styles and matching the teaching technique to the learning style. We all have strengths and weaknesses. It is important to learn how to capitalize on the strengths and build up the weakness.

In college I tutored Cultural Geography and while living in West Covina I did Math tutoring for a friend. Teaching is my priority and feel that there is a need for good teachers. I enjoy what I do. I love seeing students achieve their goals. The first thing I have always told my students was that there isn't anything you can't do if you want it bad enough. I went back to school at the age of 41 to get my degree. My goal is to provide the student with the best possible education, tempered with understanding and compassion. All children can learn and are capable

Teaching has been an important part of my life. I believe within a structured learning environment, it is possible to provide an open-ended approach to learning. Through my experiences teaching in a variety of environments to a variety of students, I have learned flexibility in learning and teaching modalities. Students learn in different ways and it is my responsibility as an educator to find the best approach for each child. Learning should be and can be fun. I want your child to find academic success, better study methods and greater critical thinking skills. My goal is to impart to my students, a passion for life-long learning. I have been drawn to teaching and working with youth for much of my life. Twenty Three years of varied teaching assignments have given me a wealth of education experiences to draw on. University years found me assisting in public elementary classrooms

For the past five years I have been a substitute teacher for the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. I worked in science classrooms for Grades 6 through 8 at three intermediate schools, as well as for two high schools. In addition, I worked in 2nd through 5th Grade classrooms teaching multiple subjects. I hold a 30 Day Credential as a substitute. I earned my BS degree in Ecology & Systematic Biology at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I believe that when students develop a certain level of self confidence, learning comes easier. I place great importance on a student's learning style. While at the California Science Center, where I worked as a science exhibit developer for six years, I learned the value of a constructivist approach to learning. I am not fixed on one approach to tutoring; I determine how a child learns and try to present the material in a variety of ways until the ch

I have dedicated my professional life to helping students and young people achieve their potential. In my experience, often times a student’s ability to learn is tied in with their trust of and rapport with the person teaching them. I feel it is important to allow the student to go at his or her “own pace” and not create a frustrating environment where they may feel too pressured. Although the parents may feel frustrated at this point, it is helpful to get their support and encouragement during the tutoring process. So, ideally, it is important to first create a good learning environment followed by a clear understanding of the subject problem areas (establishing a “baseline”) and then setting up a plan for overcoming those problem areas. I have many years of experience tutoring and counseling students at all grade levels ( K-12). I have tutored in community-based programs as well as man

Teaching is a reciprocal experience for the mentor and the mentee. I believe in fostering a learning environment for my students that is both participatory and relevant to a their individual learning style and interests. Working one-on-one with a child, adult, or in a small group is a privilege and affords the opportunity to do more than just teach; it is an important opportunity to help to empower someone to "learn how to learn." In my teaching, I believe that developing confidence, self-discipline, and appropriate learning tools is just as important as mastery of any particular subject. In any interaction with a student, I understand and value my role as a tutor, and I aim to inspire and to set a positive example. I am a green building and energy efficiency specialist with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Though I am a building

I love working with children and seeing them succeed in personal and educational settings. I believe learning should be fun and that students should enjoy it. I work with a student-centered approach with high expectations. Scholars should understand the underlying concepts of the overall material. I make the curriculum relevant. In addition, I support my instruction by instilling three values within my students: lifelong learning, critical thinking, and respectful and responsible citizens. I strongly believe all children can succeed and, with the right approach and attitude, can reach their goals, both academically and socially. I am a credentialed teacher with a Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and an English Learner Authorization. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies. The curriculum was focused on preparing students for entrance into a teach

I am a creative, patient teacher. I know that everyone learns differently, so I try to come up with many different ways to explain a concept. I love to see the sudden understanding in a student's eyes when they finally understand a difficult concept. This is what makes teaching an addictive and highly fulfilling activity for me. During my undergraduate years, I often found myself tutoring fellow students. Eventually I got a job working for the math and science tutoring center on campus. I tutored students in my own classes and others, and I also helped teach a vertebrate anatomy lab. I am currently a Master's student in biology, and while biology is my field, I am also an accomplished writer. I feel comfortable helping students in a variety of fields, especially basic mathematics, science, and writing.

I love teaching. I also love learning. It has been my good fortune to teach, for many years, students of all ages. I find great fulfillment in the flow of knowledge and the dynamic learning experience. Every student is different in how they perceive the world and the laws of Nature that drive it. My approach to teaching is to take the student from where they are to a level of greater fullness - any discipline is an appropriate vehicle. The truth that knowledge is structured in consciousness is displayed when the student grows as a person as they grow in ownership of different expressions of knowledge – science, math, language, sociology, etc.. I am well-traveled internationally, and have nearly 30 years experience teaching and implementing management level development programs. I am comfortable presenting to groups of all sizes, and enjoy every opportunity to collaborate on programs that

With my background in social work and facilitation, I have learned that flexibility and patience are critical when teaching young people. Each session with a young person involves meeting the child where they arere at, honoring and praising what they do possess, and then moving forward to areas that may be a bit more challenging. Through my education and experience in working with young people, I have been fortunate enough to utilize my communication skills to assist young people with emotional needs learn math and english in a creative but producitive way. I also have taught parents of high school students social and communication skills in an effort to positively communicate with their children.

Communication has always been an interest of mine so I pursued a journalism degree and spent many hours in education to be an adept communicator through the written word. I also enjoy the person-to-person communication that is involved with the journalism profession. I have expanded my skills and knowledge through pursuing a creative arts career, as well. Before going to college, I formed the Oscoda County Youth Association with the goal of creating an organization that operated in the interests of the youth of the community. While in college, I spent three months teaching over 30 sixth-graders at Mio AuSable School how to play guitar. Then, conducted the group in the performance of an original composition at the 2007 Christmas Play.

The student always comes first in my classroom. Although the curriculum and concepts are important, what is essential is encouraging students to succeed and creating a safe environment conducive to learning. By mutual respect and positive feedback, I am able to create a rapport with my students that allow them to take risks without fear of complete failure. Once students feel secure to take risks, they are able to learn and thrive gaining both confidence and academic skills. I have a solid foundation in secondary English and collegiate English, Education, and Women's Studies. In addition to ten years teaching experience at both the middle and high school levels, I have developed and taught curriculum for numerous colleges, including University of Detroit Mercy, East Tennessee State University, and Northwest State Community College.
