You Will Meet Your Learning Goals with Me!

I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range of subject matter, including testing; I ascertain how each student learns best to develop the most fitting, effective teaching strategies for them. I am considered a Master teacher as I train other teachers about best practices and have also been recognized as "Teacher of the Year.”
I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual studen ... read more

Make school work.

Not all students are successful and the trick is to identify the reasons behind the lack of success. The issues that students have with school are diverse; procrastination, lack of organization, failure to plan, lack of awareness, ineffective habits, learning disabilities, and differences are all possible explanations for school failure. I work with students one on one to help them pinpoint where things break down for them and then work with them to find strategies to help them manage the skills and material they are asked to learn and master. I am there to guide, not just instruct.
I have been in education for 16 years. I specialize in working with students with ADD/ADHD, specific learning disabilities as well as students who underachieve. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and have successfully worked with students all over the Bay Area to help them realize their ... read more

My teaching style depends upon the individual learning preferences of my students. I also provide additional supplemental information, practice problems and fun home activities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in THE BRAIN-THINKING-EXPRESSION AND DOING YOUR WORK. I believe in introduction and showing examples of what needs to be done and then letting them go to achieve the results. I believe in letting them think and use what they have called the brain to finish what needs to be done.
I have taught/tutored/mentored/and used a one-2-one teaching style to make teaching fun for my students and I. If my students are comfortable then obtaining results will be fun. My experience has been all about what makes my students want to learn and how I can help them become successful. I want to make teaching and obtaining results more fun and easy. I have spend over 20 years in the field of education in Ravenswood City School District. I believe in allowing students to achieve results the best way a student can (ON HIS OWN) by using his/her BRAIN. Sometimes personal expression ... read more

I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts.
I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of the Early Childhood field, working with children is something that I have always enjoyed. I had opportunity to further my education with a teaching credential in Early Childhood Special Education while teaching with a school district. As I continued to further my education I had many opportunities working with young children with special needs in small group, as well as one on one settings.
Children are very precious individuals. Having the opportunity to work with children is something I enjoy very much. I belive every child deserves the opportunity to learn. I believe that a teacher needs to faciliate the environment for effective learning to take place. Children learn in many different ways and each child has it in them to learn they just need to be given the opportunity to explore and discover. As a teacher I believe that learning through play especially ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with students so that they will feel comfortable engaging in the risk-taking that is necessary for learning to take place. I emphasize the teaching of reading and writing strategies that students can take with them and use in future assignments, which helps to increase students' feelings of confidence as readers and writers.
After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts. I have taught English at the middle and high school level at high-achieving public schools ... read more

I approach teaching using a facilitator style. I believe in enabling my students by encouraging critical thinking through didactic and experential activities. I also value being flexible in learning because it not only allows students to grasp a new way of understanding information, it also enhances their approach to learning. I believe that the hallmark of teaching is the relationship that I am able to establish with my students through providing empathy, support and effective communication.
I have earned a bachelor degree in nursing, and subsequently worked as a nurse for four years. I earned master degrees in psychology and business administration. I was admitted into Psi Chi National Honor Society for Psychology. I successfully obtained my Doctorate of Psychology degree in clinical psychology.

I have experience of teaching composition. I taught students of different ages. I also taught students how to write different compositions. As an instructor at San Jose State University, I gained a broader experience of working with students. I have also experience of working with International students.
I used different textbooks and writing samples. Teaching adults is different from teaching children. I also worked individually with student of different ages. I am patient, easy going, but detail-oriented and passionate about my career. I try to inspire student by teaching strategy and teaching material.
