Ready to help increase skills in languages and music.

I prefer working one on one with students to help them learn quicker than in group settings.
I have taught as a substitute teacher for five years. I have played violin and trombone professionally in performing groups. I spent five years as a violinist with the Folsom Symphony and ten years with the Camellia Symphony Orchestra. I have also studied voice (singing) and have sung solos in numerous venues. I have lived in Germany and Mexico and learned both languages fluently. I have a degree in German and studied Spanish as well on the college level.

A Little Bit About Me...

I use communicative student learning approach to enable students learn and improve their proficiency in the targetted language.
I have an extended experience in teaching English as a Second Language. I have taught all the language skills courses at the undergraduate university level. I have taught many core subjects as well. I have been teaching for more than 10 years. My experience encompass teaching students from diverse ethnic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. I believe that all students can learn. One must know their learning preferences that would help them learn better. I use pair and group learning as well, because sometimes students can learn by debating amongst each other. I am always open to questions and give time for whoever want more time to learn.

I am a former social worker, "turned teacher".

I am a former social worker, "turned teacher". I returned to school in 1998 to "recycle myself" and finished an M.A. in 2000. I did not continue, to become a fully credentialed teacher. I have had 8 years + experience as a substitute teacher, in high school, middle school and elementary school. High school was a favorite, but now I find that elementary students (1st thru 5th) are more accepting of my "grandma-like" appearance.
I use lesson plans and schedules left by the teacher, as well as textbooks and other materials like workbooks which are familiar to the children. I leave a written synopsis of the day for the teacher, including notes on behavioral issues or good/helpful behaviors.

Composition is one of my top subjects!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.
I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad.

Because each student, young or old, responds to different learning stimuli (graphical or verbal) at diffrent rates, I always try to get to know my student first. I then try to tailor my tutoring to how they respond best and retain what they've learned. I believe in repetition and using examples that a student can relate to, and then testing the student's understanding of the subject matter.
As the oldest of five children, my 15+ years of tutoring experience includes helping my siblings in their homework when we were growing up. I have also taught English for two years at a private Junior/Senior girls' high school in Kyoto, Japan; mentored the English Speaking Society for the high school students; and, more recently, trained three content editors at Intel, as well as developed training classes for HP.

I began tutoring as a volunteer in High School. I have since graduated Magna Cum Laude in less then 4 years earning two bachelor degrees in Political Science and Philosophy. I have recently finished my first year of law school in the top 30% of the class. My experience in Political Science, Philosophy, and law have set me apart in grammar, punctuation, and both formal and creative writing. I have most recently privately tutored a high school student in English, Literature, and Writing.
I realize that each student learns differently and thus should be approached differently. My teaching style is to exert patience and positive reinforcement for each style of learning. I believe that tutoring is the missing link in a child's education, and that providing structure and follow up is the best method.

A Little Bit About Me...

First and foremost, it is important to me and, especially for my students, that we have excellent rapport. I want to know their academic goals and what is most important to them as we establish our tutoring relationship. I do everything in my power to let my students know that I am there for them, that I care about how they learn best, and that I want regular feedback on what they are feeling successful about and what it is that may need more reenforcement or practice. I then adjust my teaching strategies based on their learning needs.
I am a credentialed teacher who has had 22 yrs. of teaching experience, ten years in elementary and twelve years in middle school.

A Little Bit About Me...

I come from a family of teachers and, like my parents, I enjoy helping others and reaching the end goal of aiding a student in attaining their own aspirations both long and short term. I understand the difficulties and frustrations that often accompany learning, however I believe that with the right positive reinforcements all students can overcome any hurdle and achieve academic success. In addition, these academic success are the kindling to creating a growing fire of self-motivation which can last a lifetime. I want to help all students in anyway possible to find the academic switch that inspires them to continue to learn and better themselves.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have experience working with students of all ages and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge each person brings. I treat each student according to his/her needs and I look for the most effective ways he/she learns. I ask the student questions that lead to his/her discovery of the process, steps and answer to the problem. With this method the student has the satisfaction of resolving the problem, encourages him/her to continue on to more difficult ones, and gives him/her the confidence to do his/her best!
As a Summa Cum Laude graduate, I have always valued academics and education. I began to share my drive for excellence through tutoring in high school.

More About This Tutor...

What I like about helping people learn more and do better in communicating and expressing themselves is that it gives me a chance to "give back" all that I know in a special way. I teach people how to do things through a method of "learning by doing" with practical (and many times personal experience) exercises. Writing and communicating is a craft that anyone can do if they understand how to "map out" their thoughts and ideas in an outline and then "build from there" filling in the gaps.
I have more than three decades of experience managing and working in marketing, PR, communications, the web, and media relations. In all of that work, I have always been the one "teaching people" how to use technology and computer, as well as how to write anc communicate. My passion, energy, drive, know-how, knowledge, inventiveness, and infectious optimism will all play a key role in me mentoring ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to teach, there is nothing more self rewarding then helping a person who is struggling to achieve something and helping them with their goals. I believe all students can find academic success somewhere if given the correct opportunities and surroundings. I firmly believe that I have been educated by some of the best and these educators have made a world of difference in my life and expectations. I would like to help students in the same way my educators helped me.
As a college graduate, I was extremely driven to achieve a high level of academic excellence. I earned my bachelors degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Philosophy. These have enabled me to have an understanding of many areas of Language Arts, History, and English. As a Comm Studies major I was held to a high standard of technical writing with essay and would always use credible sources for my researc ... read more

I have taught ESL for 17 years to children and adults from all over the world. I have a strong command of language arts and am experienced at teaching literacy, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, essay writing, phonics, pronunciation, etc. I coordinate the after school enrichment program and annual play at Earl LeGette Elementary School. Having finished a financial planning course, I have also recently brushed up on my math skills.

My teaching style involves fun and an active student. Self-discovery is the best way to learn and retain knowledge. I see myself as the facilitator; I give my students the tools, so they can figure out problems on their own and become more self-reliant. I want learning to be fun, involving games, healthy competition and active learning, so studen ... read more
